Welcome to the UK where a right wing academic seeks to defend a man who wrote:
'Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.'

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

The business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the racist protesters intimidating asylum seekers in Epping are "upset for legitimate reasons.”
I don't remember any Labour frontbencher saying the same about people protesting the genocide in Gaza. On the contrary, they've criminalised peaceful dissent.

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

He didn’t say that.
He chanted “Death to the IDF”.
If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.
This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

So Starmer's U-turn will inevitably tax rises in the autumn according to the BBC, this may well be the case, but I don't remember tax rises being mentioned when the massive increases in defence spending were announced.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous.
Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family.
To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas”
FFS.
What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here?
The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas?
One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

I remember it being obvious at the time there was a strong, undeclared pro-Brexit impulse in Corbynism, but it's not often admitted as candidly as this.
