Just moral posturing with no practical benefit to society.

Self-proclaimed "strong voice against Trumpism" implying we need more of what these two centrist losers brought to the table.
They don't get that they don't get it. Or perhaps they do, they just would rather lay down the red carpet for fascism in the name of preserving the status quo.
Also how stupid do you have to be to think that Farage is "skeptical of multinationals" when he wants to give the NHS to US HMOs on a silver platter.

Reading this as an American knowing you don't have public healthcare must be the most depressing thing in life.

At this point it's utterly irrelevant if Starmer stays or goes. Labour has ceased being the party of the British Left, and is little more than a holdout for the most idiotic and deluded centrists.

Also, murdering the US president with no warning by a foreign state is now clearly on the table too.

You have to be fucking shitting us here. The US attacks against Iran are as illegal as Russia attacking Ukraine.
Understand basic international law. Not hard.
Just to add to the ever-expanding list of things Democratic candidates need to categorically demand aside from ending support to Israel and abolishing ICE: send Trump and everyone in his inner security circle to The Hague.

May this be the beginning of the end of Starmer's Labour.

Quite possibly the most incompetent political party I have ever seen formed in my lifetime.
Seriously guys, step down and endorse the Greens. Corbyn, retire quietly and Sultana please dedicate yourself to anything except politics.
You are literally supporting the continuity of that Tory agenda, my dear.

Modern fascism exists to elect oligarchy into political power.
When fascism and oligarchy stand opposed, the latter wins.
The Economist is the literal embodiment of that meme where the guy trips himself on a bicycle and blames everyone except himself for tripping his own bike.
But at least they're not hiding what side they are on.
That's because people like Chait, Friedman and Klein (two other contenders for the consistently wrong take award) aren't commentators, they are propagandists.

16.02.2026 23:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hot take: Mission: Impossible is quite possibly the only movie franchise bigger than a trilogy that got progressively better over time rather than worse. The original was good but #2 and #3 are meh. Then just started getting better and and better after that with Fallout (#6) being peak excellence.

Starmer's main and sometimes sole policy directive is to destroy any semblance of the left in his own party.
