- dijit 1y agoLabour are left wing. Maybe less Left than Corbyn was, but they are a left wing socially progressive party. That there’s legitimately no money left is caused by austerity. You can’t spend your way out when your debt to GDP ratio is far exceeding 100%. More borrowing will increase the countries interest payments and further cripple the economy. It’s a mess. Ask your economist friends.

- slater 1y agoBecause the under-educated folks hear the Man On TV rail against immigrants stealing your welfare and jobs, and about how billionaires will spend their money elsewhere if we don't bend to their will.
