It’s almost like traditional Labour voters: workers, the youth, the poor, the elderly aren’t exactly impressed with labours drive to make life in the uk worse for all the above sectors of society and see his spineless grovelling to Reform voters and transphobes for exactly what it is.

Typically I don't engage with libs on politics because we're using entirely different lenses of analysis.

But in the past year people in my life have gone from asking me why I'm not voting for labour in the general election, to asking me to explain why I knew labour would be so bad, to asking me to explain Ibrahim Traoré and the Sahel to them because they like his reforms(?!??).

People want something to believe in.

asking me to explain Ibrahim Traoré

something must've gone viral on tiktok or something because this is the second or third time in about a week I've heard about politically disengaged liberals asking about Burkina Faso
