Just that really.

It just smacks of something half-arsed and ill-conceived.

Not expecting a full policy agenda but having a name should be bare minimum.

I signed up and donated. As have a few of my friends - mostly left leaning, politically active higher rate tax payers with professional jobs who don't feel the current Labour party represents them.

That makes sense because I don't think the Labour Party was set up to represent higher rate tax payers with professional jobs.

Although middle-class folk, of the left-leaning variety, accreted around Labour until it could no longer withstand the stresses of attempting to appeal to the working class and its inheritors while also appeasing the opposing values of its vocal, monied, yooni-educated metropolitan wing.

Gosh this is so spot on

Yet here you are OP, talking about them. Opening up conversation on a multi million user platform.

If say they're getting exactly what they want at the moment.

I can't WAIT to be a paying member of their party.

And I’ve just read it now has more members than Reform.

Reform doesn't have members, because it's been set up as a limited company. The people who have paid to 'join' Reform, have absolutely no power in decision making policies - not that Reform have any. But the 'employees' in alReform are not answerable to the fuckwits that are funding them.

I am never ever going to vote for Jeremy Corbyn, or anyone who aligns with him politically. it's only ever going to appeal to idiots and teenagers in the lovely flush of fairness and equity. A few years work will prove to them that some people work hard and some don't. The ones that don't are called passengers. Societies can't afford to carry many
