"Kier Starmer must resign over a decision I supported and celebrated" is the purest distillation of Anas Sarwar, an absolute worm of a man
NEW: Leader of Scottish Labour is expected to call on the Prime Minister to resign.

Anas Sarwar MSP has hastily arranged a press conference for this afternoon. It’s understood he will set out his position on Sir Keir Starmer

Tim Allan, who just quit as Starmer's director of comms, was on the board of the trans-eliminationist hate group "Sex Matters", whose director of advocacy Helen Joyce urged transphobes to get through to "decision makers" so that the "numbers" of trans people could be "reduced." That's what they did.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Ok. Hypothetical:

You’re a decent man.

You find yourself in a position of power and come to have an adviser who tells you to enable a genocide, jail those who speak against it, attack immigrants and foreigners, attack the left, hire a paedophile, attack trans people…

What do you do?
Can I offer you a different perspective? I believe Starmer is a decent man - who listened to his advisor. That advisor was wrong. A failure of judgement. The world is in a dangerous place. This is NOT the time for a change of leadership but a time for strong, principled leaders to come together

Being a survivor in this world is such an insulting existence. It is insulting that we've witnessed ten times more justice for Virginia Giuffre than she ever lived to see herself and it's still hardly anything anyway.

I get the feeling he’s sheltered from the outside world. That’s the only way he could possibly be that confident. I have like no confidence and yet I think I succeed more than him.

Our god-anointed king was surely just misled by rotten advisors into choosing to govern without parliament, I'm confident this civil war will end shortly because we can all implicitly trust his majesty to be just too decent to ever double down.

You ever get that tingle in the back of your neck when your body just knows "there's some interesting reading about this guy in an HR filing cabinet somewhere"?

A Socialist presidential candidate who I gather is at least somewhat substantively critical of austerity just won a jaw-dropping 67%(!) landslide against a far right opponent in Portugal.

Hopefully Starmer has already completed his free AI training so he can jam all his previous speeches into the computer and he can say the same nothing that he always says

Wait why am I suddenly having flashbacks to how many tragic young men out there were identifying as DJs shortly before Lehman Brothers collapsed??
The guy who is my bellwether for where the dumb money is going—he had a cloud engineer phase, crypto phase, nft phase, AI phase—has pivoted back to DJing, which is what he was first doing when I met him 20 years ago.

Is it a good sign if your director of communications resigns the morning before you're due to make a big speech asking everyone to please let you continue as prime minister?
