This is Starmer at his best. Acknowledging and identifying nuisances where necessary while being unequivocal and impassioned on distinguishing right from wrong.
I hope this speech heralds a permanent end of Labour attempting to parrot Reform UK's nativist and culture war narratives.

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!
"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

It's official, what every right minded person already knew, Israel is committing GENOCIDE in Palestine. The UN says so. There is nowhere left to hide, for Western governments for whom this has been a massively inconvenient truth. It can't be denied or caveated away any longer.

He also can't keep dodging questions about why Lord Mandelson was appointed in the first place, and the extent of what was already known about his links with Epstein.
