I’ve read his entire manifesto, watched his speech at the conference, and followed his interviews. He isn’t super left, but he is 100% left wing. Unless you define left wing as exclusively Corbynite disciples, which is massively reductionist.
If the left wing in Britain wants to keep defining its leaders as socialist or bust, it’s never gonna win again. I’d rather see a moderate left like Starmer actually govern than a leader I 100% agree with keep failing.

They must happen every 4-5 years, but they can happen sooner, which restarts the countdown until another must be called.

If you have the money to afford it, BNPL systems are actually the smartest way of buying something. The danger is that it allows people who think they can afford it to go beyond their means, but BNPL in itself is not a bad thing.
