Hmmm difficult choice that. 😂😂 Labour tried going left wing in 2019. And they suffered their biggest election defeat in history. Because corbyn's position on brexit was "I don't know". He was untrustworthy and Labour was a haven for antisemitism back then. No surprise that Blair was and Starmer will be far more successful operating in a more centrist, sane position. 🌹

In fact, education took a downward turn in the late 90s and early 00s which is part of the reason why we have so many unskilled workers in their 20s right now. 3) Overseas Aid is ridiculous and the money should be spent on British citizens first. 4) Crime went down because crimes went underreported thanks to shocking police and crime commissions at the time. 5) The current Tory government have seen ( pre pandemic ) record low unemployment and record numbers of people on PAYE. 6) Inflation was at an all time high ( before pandemic ) when the Tories took over in 2010 thanks to YEARS of financial neglect by Blair and Brown. They sold off our gold assets FFS! 7) Civil partnerships? What has that got to do with anything?? 8) Winter fuel allowance is at an ALL TIME HIGH under this current Tory government. 9) Minimum wage at the highest it’s ever been under the current Tory government. Inc. lowest EVER taxes for the lowest paid. ( Highest thresholds of tax and NI ) 10) Banning of cluster bombs yet went to Iraq war and spent TRILLIONS of tax payers money bombing innocent children and destabilising the Middle East. Entirely based on lies that Blair sold to parliament. 11) Cancelling debt owed to us. You think that’s a good thing!?? No wonder we were left with no money in 2010! 12) Apprenticeship ls at at ALL TIME HIGH under this current Tory government. 13) The smoking ban which was first a conservative policy that Labour were forced to put into their manifesto… it was widely voted AGAINST in the Labour backbenches and required the Tory vote to get it over the line! 13) EU social chapter!? Ha! Anything to do with the EU is not a good thing. We’d still be in lockdown if we were in the EU. Proven my comment wasn’t ‘piss’ at all… it just proves that New Labour were Tory Lite in almost every single way.

    I think the Good Friday agreement? a minimum wage and alot of anti discrimination laws was a good thing. You may disagree of course.
