First thing I thought was aren't Physios swamped already? I was told the wait was months and then I was never seen anyway.

Another of those cases where it’s hard to know which is dumber, the Tweeter or the Tweeted-upon.
Related to the Starmer-led Labour Party, haven't seen this mentioned on here. In it for the wonga not the people.

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Not sure what objection you have to the tweeter there, beyond them making the mistake of paying any attention at all to Starmer? Which is probably unwise but something we've all been guilty of.

Labour could win big with shift to right on social issues, says thinktank
Right-leaning Onward claims Keir Starmer’s party needs to appeal more to ‘left authoritarians’

it doesn't say if the poll/research was commissioned by Labour, but the article also gives no examples of what is meant by 'social issues', 'cultural policies' and 'cultural values'. I think we can guess.redsquirrel
This Machine Kills Progressives
It is a fucking awful article of a shitty press release. Clearly large parts have just been c&p'd from the publicity release from Onward. The use of authoritarian rather than conservative is telling.
The only sensible bits are the quotes from the academic.

Exasperated, not angry.
It was commissioned, and phrased, by Onward - who describe themselves as centre right, but their use of centre is a bit dubious. They have form for this kinda thing.
And, yeah, 'cultural issues' means 'stop talking about poofters'

back on the other side
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves criticised the Conservatives for a series of recent scandals and said that a Labour government would "drain the swamp".

Doesn't even make any sense. Washington DC is literally built on a swamp, Westminster is not.
It's built on a midden heap.

Sorry to hear Labour have you on a List. They're probably planning to either lock you up or lose all your data to some ransomware. All whilst demanding that you vote for them anyway, you scum

spelling is overrated
Starmer scratch cards if I were working for their publicity/fund raising team.
Every one a looser though

Copying Trump, copying Mussolini.....
"drain the swamp" and variations thereof has been common political jargon for give or take 200 years. since Washington DC became the centre of American politics with its geography providing the metaphor.
it's not a phrase Trump coined or even popularised.
I doubt Reeves will have been the first to use it in a UK context even.
