Whatever we might think of the new Labour government’s leadership, I think this shows why we need a successful few years. Perhaps I’m being paranoid but if the country is disappointed with Labour I don’t want them to resort to electing an even more right wing version of the Tories further down the line.
Red Tories have indicated an absolute commitment to maintaining the status quo, which is why I’ve been saying for the past few months that the government after this one will be reform regardless of the outcome of the recent election.
And let’s be real, we completely deserve it.
I think Labour need to urgently get really serious about reshaping the economy so that it’s fairer. People don’t vote for fascism when they feel well off. Labour’s leadership seem to want to make the pie bigger before the working class are allowed a slice. Unless that changes (or I’m wrong about them) I reckon they’re as doomed as the Tories were, and us along with them.
