I'm never going to vote for this guy because of his transphobia, but there's a lot to agree with here:

People are told Britain is succeeding while they cannot afford a home, and that opportunity exists even though their children face lower living standards than their parents enjoyed. They are told to work harder while wealth accumulates ever-more narrowly at the top. And they notice the unfairness.

You can really tell when a Labour politician is addressing party members. Like this is fairly good, the exact stuff you'd expect to hear from a social democrat. No chance he gets into Number 10 and continues saying half of this stuff, let alone acts on it.

Except the AI stuff. He's wrong about that, but he'll give it his full backing. The SW1 class has already capitulated to 'AI', so this shouldn't be surprising.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
