    The UK has a Liberal Democrat Party and a Labour Party as well as the Conservative Party and now Reform (formerly UKIP, Farage is trying to be the smarter, more British Trump).

    It’s confusing when you call Labour Liberals, because Labour is strongly in support of free universal healthcare and workers’ rights, introduced and regularly raised the minimum wage and is generally pro union. They’re considerably to the left of the American Democrats.

    Having said all that, three Prime Minister, Keir Starmer seems to be the most Biden-like Prime Minister we’ve had.

      How convenient. You’ve left out the one issue that we’re actually talking about, the rights of innocent trans people. On those, Starmer is as bad as any Republican. The UK labor party is one of the most transphobic parties in the western world. And I’m referring to them as liberals as they are, in terms of political alignment, a liberal party. And like most liberal parties, scratch them and a fascist bleeds.
