From the ten pledges that won him the leadership in the first place, you can pretty much guarantee Starmer will say something and do the opposite subsequently.
The best thing we can hope for is that, with his leadership now in jeopardy, he's consistent and reverses on his reversals.

Labour politicians desperately trying to save Starmer are massively underestimating how much this country hates him.
They're mostly not even honest enough to admit they hate him too.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.
But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.
Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

This is pretty menacing.

When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.
