I didn't vote for them at the last election as I didn't like their lurch to the right. However, Labour seems to have completely lost the plot and it seems like they're trying to play Reform at their game. That's never been what Labour is about. Labour should always be about aiming for greater fairness for those at the bottom.

So, with Keir Starmer now getting tough on the disabled and proposing DWP changes that, if the Tories had implemented, would have been vilified, do Labour voters still think "at least we got rid of the Tories"? Conversely, do Tory and Reform voters agree with these things or are they wrong because they're Labour initiatives?

Politics is getting very weird.
Starmer is much further to the right than Boris and Sunak, but with the disadvantage that he can't manage basic economics and has applied taxes to stop business growth we are in a right mess.
