while Starmer calls for it to be amended because he has no balls and thinks he can't defeat Reform/Farage otherwise. Funny I don't recall such timidity from Labour in 1945
Today is #HumanRightsDay.

What better day to remind everyone that either we all have human rights, or none of us really do.

#bbcpm Labour could have gone into the next election saying "Farridge and the Tories want to take away your human rights", but now they can't. Once again Starmer abandons the moral high ground to appease the far right.

Starmer and Farage becoming more indistinguishable from each other with every passing week.
The govt has committed to weakening protections against people being subject to inhuman or degrading treatment. A step behind Farage who’s said he’s happy deporting people to torture.
My bet: in 2026 Labour will adopt Farage’s current position.
2nd bet: no Reform voters will flip Labour as a result.

Starmer: we’re the economically serious party, the grown-ups in the room

Also Starmer: we’re happy to hit the economy by up to £10 billion to appease racists.

Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts"

Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice.

British people need better services, compassionate and considered policies; Starmer wants austerity, privatisation and authoritarianism. People say NO digital ID, and NO to using our data to 'train' AI; Starmer pushes for these. More justice needed, Starmer's henchman curtails juries. #StarmerResign

And it's not what the Greens are proposing or ever have proposed. But Arming and conspiring with the side committing genocide, that's sane is it, Keir?
Whereas introducing wildly authoritarian laws, allowing huge individual political donations and removing jury trials whilst Nigel fucking Farage waits in the wings is perfectly sane and safe?

Agree. Neither does he mean young people in hunger strike demanding justice, young people betrayed by a government who speaks of 'Green crap' and allows North Sea drilling contribute to climate disaster blighting their futures.

Obviously Starmer doesn’t mean;

-young people who are disabled,

-young people who are trans/non-binary,

-young people who (or whose parents) are fleeing war, poverty, the effects of climate change or persecution.

Starmer is REALLY getting desperate; double disinformation in the opener of this puff-piece in the Observer.

1. The Greens recognise that the US is pulling NATO apart, & that a new European alliance is de facto coming together.

2. The Greens want to end the sale of drugs from dodgy sources.

Very visible connection there between Wes Streeting wanting to decrease diagnoses of mental illness, and Keir Starmer stating that Polanski's Greens are 'nuts.'

Casual but very intentional ableism all the way from this government.

An acute case of white male entitlement: "I may be doing a shambolic job, but I do enjoy this PM hobby I picked up, the perks are stonking!"

Starmer's got to go. Like, yesterday. ASAP.

Gove is one of the most despicable men in the history of UK politics and i include the reform lot in that too.
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Assuming Starmer had ever done anything before his leadership role beyond wait inside calmly inside his packet in the fridge of a provincial service station, just hoping the next customer wanted a beige sandwich meal deal, can you imagine self-aware humour like this?

This comes as no surprise given Labour's crushing of internal party democracy since Starmer took over, its contempt for dissenting views in the public sphere and its hard right approach to civil liberties. We have been warned!
