I thought Labour was centre left?

What's up with the sudden obsession over gender and trans rights in the UK? I thought that was a conservative culture war thing.

If I were to guess, I'd say they're trying to sweeten up to the reform crowd and address their bigoted rage to try and take the wind out of Russian Backed PM Farage next election.

The problem, of course, is that all them seething boomers will always just be told what the next thing they're angry about is. So it's pointless. The global rise of the hateful fascist avalanche has already begun, and it's impossible to reason with.
