I'm focused on dislodging the catastrophic @Conservatives, but occasionally I'll criticise @UKLabour too: "man of integrity" @Keir_Starmer LIED to Party members during HIS #LeadershipContest when he PLEDGED to end private sector outsourcing in the #NHS.🤬

I've bitten my lip because our antiquated electoral system means that @UKLabour - in some sort of electoral pact with other parties - is the ONLY feasible & realistic way of getting rid of the catastrophic Tory Govt. But imho they now need to shape up, & offer a real alternative.

An often voiced & imho legitimate criticism of @Keir_Starmer's @UKLabour is that while they're good at pointing out the many fault's of the catastrophic Tories, they don't offer realistic solutions & an attractive alternative.

Labour now needs to be bold:

In a nutshell:

Instead of waving flags & offering Tory-lite in an attempt to win over a few of the 29% of the electorate who voted Tory in 2019, @UKLabour should target the 71% who didn't, reframe patriotism & nationalism, & drag the UK electorate into the 21st Century.
