They’re trying to avoid centrists, they want right wing
They basically want the American Keir Starmer.
That’s way too left for them
Starmer is a transphobe Zionist who sucks up to Trump instead of trying to negotiate with the EU.
He said he supports trans rights previously but most recently what you refer to is his office citing a court ruling on the matter
Though pro-trans is a right wing take so you have that, it’s still left of most Americans. He has spoken out against Israel’s actions
The Labour Party believes speaking out against Israel is antisemitic by default. It's literally in their constitution.
They also align themselves with JKR on trans rights.
They've also cut benefits for disabled people, have just announced that carers will no longer be hired from abroad even though there's a desperate shortage of them, are refusing to deal with the pollution caused by the water companies, etc ad nauseum.
You’re going to keep going in circles aren’t you?
They are still left of Americans
