I fucking hate the word leftist

First of all, it's not even a word.

I'm going to stick up for the word leftist here. It's been in use since the 1890s. I think we're going to have to accept it is a word - even if it's an annoying one.
 
Oh really? Fair enough then. My hatred comes from seeing right wing media using it as a negative connotation.

Like the way they’ve tried to poison the word liberal, without any irony of what the word actually means

To be fair, no one knows what liberal means any more
 
So Parliament is sitting today to decide the future of British Steel.

I'm all for nationalisation, but is there enough money right now to justify it?
 
They don’t have much choice. The company currently running it is threatening to shut the plant down, which would likely render it permanently inoperable, which would be a disaster for the industry and an enormous embarrassment for Labour.
 
It’s an opportunity for nationalisation that is broadly popular with everyone. Why wouldn’t a Labour government do that?

Is it college politics? If Kamala Harris won the election, would Labour be nationalising today? Labour have been forced into this position due to external events. If there was a genuine choice then Reeves and her fiscal rules would be resisting it as strongly as possible.
