I just did a quick search for “Starmer policies” and got this:

https://keirstarmer.com/plans/10-pledges/

It remains to be seen whether these pledges were just positioning to win the leadership, or what he’s saying now is to reposition the party with voters who left. Who/what he really is will only be clear if he wins an election, I suppose. One can hope (perhaps naively).

This is kind of the point, given recent events I don't believe he'll follow through on any of this and has given me no reason to trust him

This is dumb, I know fptp fucks up our electoral process but the green party still exists. A higher % of the vote share means they will devote more funding to your area in the future. They are anti-capitalist and eco-socialist. It's not a coincidence that a lot of their policies that get derided often end up in the manifestos of the main parties 6 months after the fact.

I�m in a safe Labour seat and sometimes vote Green. Plus government funding for political parties is based on votes, not seats.

The England & Wales Greens are absolutely not eco-socialist. They have an eco-socialist wing but they also have a very much liberal wing that's no less prominent.

Scottish Greens however are very good.

Look at this scrub who doesn't know there's been no CPGB since 1991. There's the CPB who are at the anti-Eurocommunist spit from the CPGB, the CPGB-ML which is the weird Harpal Brar offshoot from Socialist Labour (which was an offshoot of Labour lead by Scargill) who are defenders of Hoxha such is their dedication to anti-revisionism, the CPGB (PCC) who Ken Livingstone accused of being M15 agents which was an offshoot of the NCP & are some sort of not-quite Trots who maybe are? And then the RCPB (ML) who are also Hoxha defenders.

I love the left.

Galloway, CPGB-ML and brexit Party (or UKIP I think) losers teamed up to create the Workers Party GB. It stinks.

CPGB-ML put the wheels in motion last year I remember chewing out one of their members at the Durham miners gala as they had changed their newsletter from "the proletariat" to "British worker's daily" in god awful blue red and white colours. Tbh when I first saw them I thought it was the BNP.

There is no CPGB. It literally does not exist anymore

Vote CPGB-ML if you think that banning "LGBT ideology" is a good move for a party.

The problem with saying Starmer would be better that Johnson is he has given literally no reason why. Like he has not laid out any of the things he would do in office, and has given lots of reasons why leftists should not have any faith in him

Also as we all know Labour going socially and economically conservative is the only path to victory, which is why Kinnock, Brown and Miliband all won their elections

i do think that the whole phenomenom of US succdems thinking trump is some kind of uniquely terrible figure while he does the same things all the previous presidents do, and supporting an opponent who promises to keep doing those things but bring back decorum, has just been completely imported over here.

bojo is awful but like trump there are actually a few ways where he's better than your average tory MP since he is more concerned with personal aggrandisement than tory ideology.
he is still a complete loving poo poo though, my god. but i'd rather him than patel or gove

lol kidding it's bad. But overall I think this take is bad. There are good people on Twitter posting good things, & there are bad people & it's possible to tell them they are bad in a way that was only possible in days gone by by being the weirdo who writes to the newspaper.
