From the outside looking in, it would appear that Labour is yet another pseudo-progressive party that got addicted to corporate cash during the late 1990s flowering of neoliberalism ans aren’t willing to let go.
It’s the same thing in most western Nations, and it has the awful side effect of making what were previously “reasonable” right wing parties into proto-fascists put of self defense.
Unlike the USA, tacking unrelated stuff on to bills is not how our system works, especially at the final reading, which is why loads of members abstained (all of Labour, all of the SNP, even 6/15 Lib Dems, etc).
Now, do I want it to be a criminal offence to pump literal shit in to our drinking water? Of course I do, fuck the bastards.
But please don’t let yourself be tricked by this political gamesmanship.
I’d say The Canary should know better, but this sort of thing is why they are an absolute joke.
Y’know, I understand why the Canary publish this kind of misinformation. Their whole business model is based on inciting directionless outrage. What I can’t understand is why people, like everyone else in this thread, keep falling for it.
My current theory is they purposefully try to cause splits in the left. There’s no other reasoning for them to continue to be this bad after very nearly a decade of continually publishing utter tosh.
Yes, it’s like some sort of horseshoe theory of spin. The Tories say Starmer breaks all his pledges and some people on the left reply, ‘Yes, Tories! Please tell me more!’ As though that’s… helping?
This would have beem a straight criminalisation, id rather see the environmental agency given the powers and motivation to deal with the water companies.
The EA has largely been defanged by the tories and it shows very little interest in pursuing these issues
The bar is set so low for Starmer’s Labour and yet they refuse to walk over it. It’s like they’re trying to break the world record for the world’s lowest limbo.
