I've resigned my position as twitter idler/95% lurker as of this morning. Logged out after putting 2FA in which will put me off accidentally browsing links. Mastodon seems to have picked up quite a chunk of the people I was following, almost feels like the barrier to entry (not very high) has maybe filtered out a lot of the type of people I found so disappointing/devoid of reason that I was blocking on twitter (eg people arguing that motorists close passing children trying to ride bikes are not doing anything wrong and it's the childrens' fault for wanting to use the road/existing)

For me the big issues are the ‘cost of living’; funding of services such as NHS, social care and education, and climate change. I believe that an aspect of dealing with climate change involves green technology. Green technology might also be a vehicle for the growth needed to fund services.
Spot on regarding the big issues.

I'm still struggling with the seemingly prevalent viewpoint on here that one of the takeaways from a Tory Brexit and 6 years of Tory chaos and decline is to hate on Starmer at every opportunity for not committing to unravel it all at the earliest opportunity.
He didn't get us in this mess. It is always going to take a long time to get us out of it. Labour will never get us out of it if they aren't elected.

I’m not hating on him. I just don’t see that he has any constructive proposals for how to get out of the mess, and as such I’ll find it hard to vote for him. He’s still drinking from the same bottle of kool-aid as regards Brexit which is undoubtedly the biggest single issue in our long term economic predicament.
Of course there is no manifesto and no looming election for now.

You back Starmer to the hilt, 100%, whether you like him, or agree with what he’s doing, or you’re absolutely part of the problem, end of. Period
Otherwise we’re stuck with those heartless Tory bastards running our country into the rocks

No you don't back him to the hilt 100%. You might vote for him, yes, but that's not the same as backing him 100% regardless.

It's not. It's just the only choices that are deemed worthy of victory.
YouGov (I think it was) did a poll of various parties, 2 or 3 weeks ago, and who people would / would not vote for. Theoretically even the Green could poll extremely highly if people really wanted to keep true to their word. But by election day, it'll largely boil down to A or B.
