Very powerful speech by Starmer:
1. Redefine Terrorism
2. Change barricade mentality of Government
3. Deal with social media content.
RW media and politicians promoting conspiracy theories, intent on bringing down UK Government, skating the line of terrorism.

The right wing press going mental about three-times elected London mayor Sadiq Khan is yet more evidence that “the will of the people” is only really unarguable when it’s also the will of billionaire newspaper owners.

Farage is definitely a con man he’s making fools out of UK 🇬🇧 voters and there falling for it..
I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

I'm wary of this current round of Kier bashing and general Govt mailings, whereas genuine concern is within Labour ranks, equally much of the hysteria and noise is emanating from the Tory press which always will be hostile regardless. How this is affecting the electorate is measured as Reform succes
