I fear you may be right; I have a growing suspicion that the real problem with the current Labour government is a form of naive parochialism; they seem unwilling (our perhaps unable) to look at the bigger picture rot see the threat(s) that this involves... (see my next post, on four years of Trump II)

@ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB There’s nothing naïve about it. Neoliberals know exactly what they’re doing. Starmer knew exactly what he was doing when he was politically assassinating Jeremy Corbyn and praising Margaret Thatcher. Just as he knows exactly what he’s doing when turning a blind eye to Israel’s genocide, furthering austerity and privatisation, and cosying up to fascists.

@aral @HarriettMB

Well, yes, that's also clearly an interpretation of his actions.... but then still leave the parochialism; he seems unaware of the bigger forces that are bearing down on 'little England'....
