The Labour Manifesto for the forthcoming election is remarkable in its complete lack of ambition - Former Labour MP (nation.cymru)

The 2019 Labour Manifesto was an inspiration, and I am immensely proud to have stood on it.

For the first time in my life here was a manifesto offering a transformative vision to create a fairer, more equal, greener, socialist society for all based on equality, dignity and social justice, – in my home, Cynon Valley, and across Cymru.

Boris Johnson’s victory was a devastating blow to me, and to socialists everywhere.

Since that election we’ve suffered almost five more years of a Tory UK government. The result is a surprise to no-one; increasing levels of inequality and poverty, especially child poverty; an acceleration in the climate crisis; crumbling public services; the worst cost-of-living crisis in living memory; living standards collapsing.

Neo-liberals are milquetoast and it shows? Man, where have I seen that before... oh yeah, every single neo-liberal party in the world.

This is who we put our lot in, you guys. We're all abused spouses.

"But we can reform him!"

No you can't. Vote the greens, vote the socialist, vote anything other than bleeding neo-liberals.

"But they're the safe choice"...

This is going to be a cosy ride to hell, isn't it? Kiss the NHS goodbye.
