Labour doing their very best to make sure they alienate their left wing voter base as much as possible. Trans toilet Ban and now this. They are happily opening us up for a Reform Government.
These are the exact same mistakes the democrats made which got Trump in power. Stop trying to pander to people who won’t vote for you.

Well considering my local council administration, Sheffield, is an agreement between Labour and the Greens and guess most are just making deals on the ground and ignoring starmer.

Sounds like the local labour parties are fucking livid about not being able to form a council with the Greens.
It’s also a really fucking bad look that the NEC would rather see Labour and Tory councils than Labour and Green ones – and that’s going to **really** boost up the “red tory” conversation they hate so much.

I mean if Labour control the council & Greens are doing their normal NIMBY antics locally Labour don’t have much choice.
I’ve seen similar with a Lab-Conservative alliance vs Lib Dems as the Lib Dems would oppose almost all new developments.

This feels like less of an issue at a local council level where the focus should be on local issues; it isn’t uncommon for Councillors from different parties to have similar views on local issues.

In Sheffield we now have a lab/green pact, albeit replacing a lab/lib/green pact from before the elections

It’s a repeat of what happened in Scotland in 2022. A decree that Labour councillors must not work with the SNP resulting in Labour and Tory coalitions across the country which REALLY pissed off Scottish Labour voters. They seemed to have forgotten by the 2024 General election though.

Good job everyone who said ‘who else but Starmer’. You’re getting a plate of farage.
Managed decline is the manifesto we never wanted but sure keep getting

Lol my county council just announced a coalition between Labour and Greens.

To be fair, the “deal” is recognising the Tories as the opposition and forming a minority admin.
Not nearly as half as bad as what the headline makes it sound.
