I cannot see a way out of this for Starmer. Extremely poor judgement or a willingness to turn a blind eye. Either way it’s bad.

      If you’re talking about just flipping left/right back, that’s not a big ask and not particularly hard to do.

      I just assumed the current use of left/right was Americanised or something, considering how much of the English-speaking internet is American.

      I’m fine admitting ignorance and I’m more than willing to learn and course-correct, but I’m not sure why you’re being petulant with me. If I was genuinely unwilling to learn anything and bullheaded, I imagine this type of conversation would just make me stubborn to change.

      However, that’s just my experience when discussing something with people of a differing opinion. I generally find a calm and unemotional approach to be more beneficial for exploring ideas and perhaps changing views, especially so with conservatives, who consider progressives to be emotionally driven.

        no, I’m just linking you to somewhere where you can learn more about how people talk about politics etc. I’m done in this thread to be honest
