It will take time and a lot of work to excise the appeasement impulse from Labour culture. I expect Starmer to make numerous unnecessary culture war concessions to conservatives and the far right out of a misguided fear of losing voters, even after this landslide victory.

Labour’s campaign was extremely cautious, and given past defeats I understand why. But now the UK center-left has a huge majority in a system with many fewer choke points than in the U.S. Let’s hope they’re ready to govern like the dominant party they now are

Labour has always had an authoritarian streak a mile wide. I don’t know if you remember as it was a while ago now but Jack Straw was a civil liberties nightmare as Home Secretary.
