It’s wild how Israel imprisoned some
British activists from the flotilla like two weeks ago and Starmer was like: it’s a matter for Israel but there’s been an emergency parliamentary meeting to discuss football hooligans from another country and how we welcome them

He is talking about my friends, neighbours, family and work colleagues. This man is evil and reminiscent of 1930’s Germany. Why isn’t Starmer condemning him in the strongest possible terms?

Making the entire #UKHE system rely on student debt exacerbates all the inequalities: only those who can afford it can undertake career-building activities, others are scrambling to survive.
