The problem is the cultural stuff from identity politics to trans is far left lunacy to many voters.
The Tories know they are more in sync with the public at large on this stuff and if the new deal can keep working class voters on side Labour have problems.
The economic fall out from covid will hurt them though and make it easier for Labour

You're like a moth to the flame with this thread. There are plenty of nutty right wing blogs around. Do you want us to start posting them obsessively as some kind of response? I'm really nonplussed what you're expecting us to even discuss with regard to the above.

This isn't a blog though G - it's a publication with a large audience - you'll find plenty of BCBers have posted Canary links on Facebook over the last few years.
I just worry a lot about what the far left is capable of - and that's just more proof of the fact that it will find new targets with which to attack. Not just Anti-Semitism, but latent Homophobia too.

Not just Anti-Semitism, but latent Homophobia too. It's still just one person. All it proves is stupidity exists across the political spectrum. Why aren't you as worried as much over the racist right? Arguably they have greater power given the platform they're given on powerful media outlets like Fox News or the Daily Mail and with the overt support of the current POTUS.

Corbyn winning 40% of the vote in 2017 before brexit lethargy and personality politics fully set in now officially didn't happen, it seems.
Blue labour proved to be a dead end in the post-Blair fall out. They expounded so much energy in chasing the "working class conservative" vote who just ended up siding with the BNP or UKIP anyway.

Starmer makes an appeal to the Labour party at the Conference about patriotism. It's a start on hoping to claw back those lost seats.
And then there's this, which chimes with the above. Some wag will inevitably quote Johnson about some refuge or other, but ultimately I do think it is true. The Left has a real problem with it, which with an inevitable move towards Brexit, is going to be a significant issue for it to overcome. Put simply, I'd say middle-class lefties have a major problem with overt shows of love for one's country. But love of one's country does not automatically mean that one thinks that one's country is superior to others.

Funnily enough I had an idea for a thread which relates to the above, I'll try and post it tonight when I have more time.

Why the Welsh flag? She’s from fucking Bristol.
I guess that’s how she self identifies.
