Going to jump in here and agree that the Labour Party in its current form is doomed. It's beset by infighting, has no clear manifesto, a fence-sitting leader who's unable to debate an imbecile outside a courtroom, problems (still!) with anti-Semitism, and a huge problem with a chunk of their previous core voters called Brexit.
They've announced no plans to support young people and reverse the cuts made to youth support services by the Tories, and at the same time are resolutely silent on things like student loans. Silence on extracting fair taxes from Google / Apple / Microsoft / Amazon. No announcements on supporting EV charging or greener energy installations.
I left Labour when Jeremy Corbyn started farting around with things and have no inclination to go back. Given the industry I work in it should say something that I voted Green at the last two elections.
I'm not averse to paying more tax - I think relatively high earners don't do too badly from a tax perspective in the UK - but right now I don't think that a Labour government charging me more tax would benefit the people who need it most.
