The praise and self-congratulation that briefcase Labour are giving their man Keir for not being Trump is so telling. Of course we stand with Zelensky but what about Gaza? #DoubleStandards

Keir Starmer actually thinks that Rachael Reeves was an economist at The Bank of England for 'the best part of a decade'

Reeves is rotten to the core...

Exactly. By chasing the racist vote, they are trying to appeal to people who will never vote for them anyway, whilst simultaneously alienating BAME voters, socialists, and anyone with a conscience. They've learned nothing from the disastrous performance from the Dems in the USA

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities

Labour's Reform copycat strategy plays into Farage's hands
Migration is good for this country – and it’s time more politicians had the guts to say it.

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose.

Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy.

Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

🤢 imagine actually wanting to brag about this xenophobic bullshit!
Tonight, I voted to restore order to our borders.

Today’s Bill builds on the steps we’ve taken since being elected last year.

I am disappointed but not surprised that the Tories and Reform voted against; prolonging the problem for political purposes.

Action, not words.

I've been in 100s of organising WhatsApp groups. From trade union, local Labour/ Green to LGBTQ+, feminist and pro-Palestine groups and have NEVER witnessed or participated in 'banter" that would constitute a hate crime. Where does #Labour find these psychopaths and why does it keep selecting them?

Lot of expensive looking vehicles here...wonder if anyone has thought about trying to tax them 🤔
If the farmers get the same punishment as Just Stop Oil, that's about 6000 years for them.

Of course there will be nothing.

Farmers block streets around Parliament. Where are the tories who complained about Ambulances being blocked by environmental protesters? Why aren't the police imposing Serious Disruption Prevention Orders? Why isn't the Policy Exchange mashing its collective gums over the disruption & road blocking?

Really not a shock to learn that Starmer's government is packed full of nasty entitled bully-boy racists, homophobes and misogynists...he kicked everyone else out...or we quit.

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell.

But they can lock up non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors for more than 60 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Not only is this gross, but it shows a complete lack of leadership from government. Rather than having the integrity and confidence to challenge harmful anti-immigration rhetoric, Starmer et al go running off trying to imitate it.
This is so, so bleak and horrible

I've just found out from this article that my whip still hasn't been restored.

Turns out speaking up for Palestine is still a punishable offence.

Keir Starmer restores whip to Labour rebel MPs - but some left out
Keir Starmer suspended the group of seven Labour MPs in July 2024 after they supported an SNP amendment to the King's Speech to scrap the Tory two-child benefit limit

The US, UK, Germany and other Western nations have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza, eroding the rules-based international order established after WWII.

Yet millions worldwide understand: silence on Palestine is complicity in a system that will treat all of us as disposable.
