You should not be allowed to work from home.
Minimum wage is a bad idea.
Women need to stay at home and have kids.
Migrant workers are the problem.
I donโt know guys. It seems like Reform might not represent the working class at all?

Easily debunked? Really? I'm struggling with that one. I can find lots of ways that Labour is very much complicit in Israel's genocide without trying too hard and I've never been to Iran!

The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.
The Dublin Agreement was a huge deterrent. People knew if they arrived in UK & had claimed elsewhere, approved or denied, they would immediately be returned. Now that data sharing is no longer an automatic right. The UK lost access to several shared mechanisms when it left the EU

Overall the Starmer speech however also suffers from the European problem of โwe need to, we should do, now is the time toโฆโ

There's only one way to solve this problem and that's to renationalise electricity and gas. 40 years of ruthless and greedy exploitation! No trace of consumer friendly competitive pricing! Not quite what Maggie promised!

Western Europe is at the end of a 40 year experiment โ with Easten Europe having joined it around 35 years ago. The experiment was to see what "trickle-down" neoliberalism delivered. We can say for sure now that it delivered:
๐ปGreater inequality
๐ปStagnant growth
๐ปPoorer services
๐ปReduced investment
Just when you thought Labour were so unpopular that they wouldn't risk alienating any more voters!

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.
With 14 parties with MPs in the Commons, plus Independents, the days of First Past the Post are clearly over!
The Labour/Conservative hegemony is now an irrelevance and we desperately need Proportional Representation before the next General Election to keep Farage out or at least limit his power!
Please stop describing Matt Goodwin as an intellectual or former academic. Everyone can see he's a blithering idiot. It brings British universities into disrepute!

Most of us want to see public ownership across a range of public services.
