Brits are seething as a new poll reveals that no political party is believed to treat the cost-of-living crisis as a top priority, leaving millions struggling with soaring bills
Every CLP I’ve had experience with in the last year sees Reform as full fascists. They’re not even talking to each other within local councils, even the borough councillors. The leadership might be willing to do it but it would kill the party and I think they know it. In the 3 places I’ve got experience with they despise each other.
I actually wrote a lot more than this but I have to be intentionally vague here as local level stuff will absolutely dox me.
Constituency Labour Party - basically the local Labour organisations representing a specific area that’s designated one MP and parliamentary seat (if they win).
They’re ostensibly supposed to produce shortlists of candidates for MP nominees, operate the local level of democratic decision making in the party, but have been increasing repowered, overruled, or just straight up purged and astroturfed by Labour leadership.
Structural part of the labour party. They’re the hands of the party. Like branch offices in PSL etc, they control and carry out operations at the local level. Outside of legislation they’re where everything the party actually materially does happens.
Labour are just copying Reform’s policies. I would sooner bet money on a Reform/Labour coalition than Green/Labour

Can’t even see Labour going in with Liberal Democrats either.
SDP is now totally redundant as terf Labour
