Comment on Keir Starmer announces plan for supervised toothbrushing in schools
peter@feddit.uk 9 months agoAnd yet I also see people saying he’s doing too much, going too far in the wrong direction, and I bet if he committed to any change right now people would be saying that he’s going too far left and alienating the center-left voters, saying he’s a communist etc. The British public won’t vote for a hard left labour leader as we saw with Corbyn. Something palatable needs to be presented for labour to win
Corbyn has joined the South African continent in defending Palestinian civilians against genocide. Starmer won’t even condemn Tory prosecution of Just Stop Oil protesters.
People on the Left reward conviction and principles. We show up and fight for leaders who inspire us toward a better future. Maybe Starmer can still win without our support, but what indeed will any of us “win” if he does?
Not having the tories. it’s a lot harder for them to get rid of labour again once they’re already in and a lot easier for them to get more leftist policies in
That’s a lot of faith to place in a leader and party who have shown zero evidence of principle or conviction.
Well what’s the alternative? You require more faith to think green will get in, lib dems are tory lite and voting for the tories would just be stupid.

Completely agree. Anything deemed too much and he’ll be dancing at the Cenotaph and supporting the IRA (or something).
