This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

Labour under Keir Starmer is now so far from its roots that it is no longer Labour; it has journeyed so far from the shore upon which it began its journey that the point of departure is no longer visible. The price it will pay for abandoning its beliefs is destruction

So after copying Trump's *jerking off two camels* dance, this UKIP fascist then ends it all with a sneaky little Nazi salute (just like Musk, Bannon, AFD etc.) ... It must be clear to everyone by now that these neo-Nazis aren't working alone. They're all part of the same network.
