Starmer’s effort to be reform-lite does not appear to be working out too well for Labour.

Starmer’s effort to be reform-lite does not appear to be working out too well for Labour.
65% of Britons have an unfavorable view of Labour, the most since YouGov began asking the question in June 2017. Starmer himself has a -46 favorability. Conservatives are even worse while Reform is a net 20 points better. The Greens and the Liberal Democrats have the best favorability ratings.
At this point without an economic miracle or proportional mixed member representation, a Reform government seems guaranteed. Reform is promising pie in the sky atm and maybe Brits need to live under 5 years of reform.
Yes, Starmer still has 4+ years to turn the economy around to the point the average voter feels them. The same thing happened to David Cameron in 2015 who looked DOA after austerity.
That’s a common theme with modern right-populist parties; even more than Reaganism it’s based on emotive magical thinking but voters seem to prefer indulging it than facing hard realities
The whole “hard times breed strong men” canard online right influencers harp on is hilarious to me because those are the softest, whiniest bitches of all time. Their job is literally to pontificate into an iPhone camera
The cultural indulgence vapid influencers have been given is, so far, the country’s downfall in more ways than just politics

That'll be horrible for minorities!
Tbf, a lot can change in 4 years, it’s way too early to write anything off yet.

While they shamelessly tell everyone else that they're weak, soft, not in touch with hard realities etc.

This exactly. I don't want to hear a Republican call anyone a "snowflake" ever again. They are the snowflakiest snowflakes whoever snowflaked...
Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times
Good times create weak men and pathetic losers like the MAGA movement.
Weak men create hard times.
