Starmer wants that sweet sweet Brexit Red Wall vote so he's not going to offer anything meaningful by way of rejoin.

Me: Time to vote for a party that wants to rejoin.

Militant Leftists: A vote for anyone other than Labour is a vote for the Tories.

It's sadly far too soon for any politician to openly come out in favour of rejoin.

We've had the conservative party proving they can't make a go of it. We next need the Labour Party proving they can't make a go of it either. Only then can a politician say, well neither of the main parties can make a go of it, how about it's not something that can be done.

I fundamentally agree.... I just hate the interim provarication. I wish Starmer would say: "Look this is what we stand for and it is getting back in. It might take a government or two or three but that's where we are headed." Instead of courting the hard left Brexit voters that the Tories took away. I get that he needs to be in power to do anything but I hate that he has to get into bed with the Red Wall.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
