Dear Own, I'm 60 and I have voted Labour all my adult life and I find myself in exactly the same boat as you. Starmar 's stance on Palestine has broken my commitment to labour. His wavering fiscal policies that dam the country to a prolong financial hardship with a lack of funding for the core infrastructure that supports all members of our community, comes a poor second to the supported death of tens of thousands of humans who's lives matter as much as my own family. My wife and daughter feel the same and we do not know who to vote for. Fist time ever !

I applaud your decision to leave the Labour party _and_ the reasoning behind it. The current Labour party isn't the same party you believed in, trusted, and loved for so long & it doesn't represent you or your values anymore. Recently, I realised it was time to make a similar change in my own life. So I can sympathise _and_ empathise with you & your current situation. Just know that you're not alone; there are people who respect you & believe you're on the right side of history (once again). 💞✊️ Solidarity!! I'm 43, and ever since I 1st registered to vote (a few days after my 18th birthday), the party affiliation on my voter registration had always been "Democrat". For *_exactly_* 25 years & 1 month I was a registered Democrat. Last week, for many of the same reasons you left the Labour Party (among other personal & USA centric reasons), I changed the party affiliation on my voter registration to "Unaffiliated". (That basically means "Independent" in my home state.) The I$r@3l-P@le$tine-US-G@z@ situation and my country's/government's involvement & complicity in the ongoing g*noc1d3 in G@z@ & the 3thn1c cle@n$1ng of G@za and the W3$t B@nk is what finally broke me. Politically, from what I've come to understand about you & your personal political ideology, I'm _much_ further to the left than you seem to be (that's not an insult). My political ideology is generally considered to be in the _very_ bottom _far_ left corner of the "political compass". However, because the US is essentially a 2 party system (much like the UK), I've always voted for Democrats from the top to the bottom of every ballot I've ever cast (progressives whenever possible). That's not necessarily going to be the case from here on out. I know I won't be voting for Republicans or right-wing policies/ballot initiatives, but as far as anything/anyone else is concerned there's no guarantee as to who/what I'll vote for/against in the future. Marianne Williamson or Dr. Cornel West will probably be my POTUS pick in 2024 & I'll be individually assessing every other candidate & initiative on the ballot before deciding who (or what) to vote for (or against) in every election I participate in from now on. There will probably be no more straight Democrat votes on my ballots, starting with the upcoming 2024 elections. If I have to leave some ballot entries blank because there's nobody (or nothing) I'm willing to vote for (or against) in certain races or on particular ballot initiatives, then so be it. I'll vote according to my conscience & I won't vote for anything else if that's not an option. No substitutes will be accepted.

Sadly Owen, at 74 and having supported the Labour Party since my teens, I tore up my membership card around 5-years ago. The writing was on the wall that Starmer and his supporters were going to move to the right and effectively become a right-wing anti-progressive party of the establishment. I think I’ve been proved right on all counts. His front bench have put individual gain before valued principles. I admire you for standing up for your progressive socialist values, it’ll probably cost you dearly as the party henchmen/women come after you. Stay strong comrade.

The second fella, Hugo, tried to imply that you are irrelevant, that is simply not true. The only reason they need to attack you is because you are so very relevant. The best revenge is to keep doing what you have always done, and speak your truth to a world that desperately needs it. Cheers from Canada!

Single mums, part time workers, those who rely on universal credit, etc..Who are already struggling to cope to survive. After an online public consultation voted and pleaded against it…Last year it was £25 per month you paid now they are demanding £60…over 100% rise..Head of our council couldn’t care less..Nesil Caliskan….( How do you sleep knowing that you are guilty of starving and freezing children and the most vulnerable? )don’t know if our MP could do anything to stop this decision….People are in despair, where do they go from there…With you 100% that is it for me now….They are vile people as far I’m concerned…There’s a place worse than Hell for these Labour councillors…Breaks my heart…

Labour is not what it used to be full stop. They are now red Tories. If you want to see what labour truly used to stand for look up Tony Benn.. Then look at these rats.. Especially backstabber starmer. Remember what he said about our energy... He's gone back on it. Aunties openly said about prioritizing some bits of are NHS. The guys a bloody rat. My advice is fined and independent that stands for your constituency... And will not stab you in the back for party. Because that's how low all three top party's have gone with age. Everything rocks in time including parties. I would even say especially parties in there lust for power they tend to forget every thing else.
