A good reminder from @billybragg.bsky.social about what Starmer once pretended to be - always worth remembering he threw this all away and managed to get fewer votes than Corbyn

Of course Starmer will not resign, he is out of his depth, and people out of their depth generally do not give up their job.

Just had my first age-related mammogram. Stood top-half naked in front of the boob nurse, and had to tell her I was trans, and these tits were not as old as their owner. I guess that's passing, when the boob nurse can't tell?
Anyway, get your boobs x-rayed, ladies.
