Starmer still decided to invite Trump. Fuck the wanker, he’s too weak. Should’ve actually grown a spine and said “fuck off” to the fascists.

Starmer is catering more to the fascists then the left. Tells you everything you need to know.

I mean, isn’t that politics in West Europe for the last 30 something years?
I can’t remember the box parties ever truly following left ideas.

Corbyn in the UK is the main counterexample I can think of, but even then that was for less than five years in opposition to the entire political and media establishment conspiring to bring him down, including the right of his own party (and in fairness, he repeatedly shot himself in the foot and handed them easy wins).

That’s my concern with him starting his own party. He will immediately be attacked by pretty much everyone and he is really really bad at countering that. He says he’s principled but principled people don’t become politicians you need to be a bit screwy in order to survive and succeed, and he doesn’t have that.
