Sunak (General U.K. is Jaded thread)
Starmer will likely be highly radical, though not in the traditional left-wing way.
He probably won’t put up taxes massively and renationalise industries.
He will just pass more and more legislation that entrenches ‘wokeism’ and curtails freedom of speech. Worth a read:

Along_the_Wire Social media is far more at fault than the press
Disagree. I think social media is a shit show and people know it; yes it gets people some coverage than they wouldn’t have traditionally gotten, but many people / ideas are taken down in the comments, it’s a conversation at the very least… but being put on TV simply adds legitimacy, and being on TV without any immediate decent rebuttal adds even more legitimacy.
Amps you give TV too much credit, have you seen their viewing figures?
I’m reading the BBC feed about this Rishi D Day thing and its like reading Viz honestly.
Along_the_Wire It’s not so much the viewing figures, but the historical gravitas of traditional broadcast media, older generations buy into it.
Amps their minds were made up a long time ago though
Take it all the gammons will now be voting Reform?
Absolute desperation
