Clutchplate @clutchplate.bsky.social · 16/05/2026The indecision of the two Labour candidates is precisely what is wrong with Starmer. If you think Brexit was a catastrophe, check the polling, take a side and SAY you are going to rejoin. If you believe in PR, SAY it and promise a referendum. Pick a side of the argument, accept voting reality. 001
