Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children.
Recognised refugees.
Denied the right to reunite with their children.
It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied.
So yes, he’s hated.

What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow.
Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal?
Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.

Why don’t we talk about the fact that Will and Kate seem to have named both their sons after a notorious paedophile?

It’s a really funny coincidence that the one Reform leaflet which didn’t have an imprint happened to be the one which claimed to be a letter from a neighbour, and looked more plausible without one.

Dispassionately agree with this analysis. "Sincerely and constructively anti-establishment" is a better proposition than "anti-Reform". The former is a strategy. The latter is a by-election tactic.
For Greens to win in Gorton and Denton, they must rage against the political machine. Me for @bylinetimes.bsky.social: www.bylinesupplement.com/p/for-the-gr...
'For The Greens to Win, They Must Rage Against the Political Machine'
Green Party member Adam Ramsay argues that the Greens need to prove to voters that they are a better way to shake up Westminster than the pseudo-radicals of Reform

Some wise words from Adam here. The Greens have a real shot in this by-election but canvassers may be missing a trick if they aren’t explaining to voters how a Green victory will shake up Westminster for the better, rather than just saying “vote for us to beat Reform”. I hope they’re doing both!

So Team Starmer couldn’t ’possibly have known’ Mandelson was lying about his relationship with a convicted paedophile. Despite mountains of publicly available evidence.
Yet they spent £30,000 on private investigators trying to dig dirt on journalists who asked them troublesome questions? 🤔

Oh wow.
Incidentally, the references to Soros and @andrewfeinstein.bsky.social in here are clearly an anti-Semitic nod from Starmer’s closest allies, just as they were using allegations of anti-semitism against the Left.

At the Filton trial, a jury of randomly selected citizens assessed all of the evidence and very clearly didn’t endorse the police account of events. The police are now using the media to try to smear them, as part of the wider drive to remove juries from our justice system.

Given what we now know about one of ‘our’ main negotiators, why should we think this was negotiated with our interests in mind?
so hang on a minute, the UK (significantly, erm, “represented“ in negotiations by Mandelson) has just signed a trade deal with the US that gives into their demands for NHS to pay way more for medicines…. & yet Streeting won’t even tell us the barest details? 🤯
