    I’m guessing someone got called out for being a right wing shit head and now his poor little feelings are hurt.

        Well, Labour is legitimately sliding right, and it’s become somewhat common among the so-called “left” in the UK to make a scapegoat out of trans people - it really wouldn’t surprise me that an older, liberal woman in the UK would have some right-wing things to say.

            Well, I didn’t mean to say Labour is far-right or anything, just that they’re sliding in the direction of the right.

            The benefit cap is right wing.
            Banning your MPs from joining picket lines is right wing.
            Purging the left wing from your party -but leaving the right wing untouched- iis right wing.
            You can only call Starmer centrist if your view is one from a right wing perspective.
            The Overton window in the UK is too far to the right, as is our policy on almost every area. We need a strong push to the left to take us back to the centre, not a slightly watered down, more palatable version of Thatcherism.
