Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.

So she wants to discuss "mutual priorities and ways to work together going forward" with an org that is under investigation from the Charity Commission.
So much for her “Judge me on what I do”.
Well, Dr Stephenson, don’t worry, we will.
And if we have to take you to court, we’ll do that as well.

“The Supreme Court ruling on the definition of ‘woman’ under the Equality Act 2010… has instead opened up a series of contradictory court decisions and litigation that is dragging individual trans+ workers into the limelight and chewing them up in the process.”

There are 134 prisoners in the women's prison estate in Scotland within Index Offence Group 1 which includes the most serious non-sexual crimes including murder.
Douglas Ross today names 3 of them in Parliament. All 3 are trans.

So we now have 2 Tory parties in the UK.
One is full of right wingers who call themselves Reform.
The other is full of right wingers who call themselves Conservatives.
The two are parties filled with failed politicians who care only for their only political careers.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Heba Muraisi has now been on hunger strike for 60 days. At this point the likelihood of sudden death is very high.
The first "positive change" Keir Starmer should be making is granting immediate bail to these remand prisoners before he has even more blood on his hands.

I am always alarmed at how readily those who are anti-migrant, anti-trans and anti-diversity call people that oppose their views paedophiles.
This rhetoric is rarely called out by those in powerful positions, yet it has become so commonly used it is almost the expected retort when you dare engage.
