This is a brilliant and rather terrifying analysis of Starmer and the Labour right by the great @owenjones.bsky.social www.owenjones.news/p/keir-starm...
Keir Starmer's own aides say he isn't actually in charge
Starmerism is a train wreck in office, but his own aides want to pin the disaster on their frontman - rather than their failed ideology

One of the ICC arrest warrant judges that Netanyahu is calling Hamas supporters is a 94-year-old holocaust survivor called Theodor Meron. He has previously presided over the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. I say no more.

Do you remember these same people’s reaction any time a Labour shadow minister supported a junior doctors’ picket?
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
Naturally, all those people who screwed farms with Brexit, not replacing EU subsidies, letting climate change wreck the countryside, and doing terrible deals that put farms at a competitive disadvantage, are today on the front of their picket line, all bad blood forgotten. ~AA

Also worth noting that climate protestors got 5 years for blocking traffic. So that's the going rate.

Worth noting that during the '84 miners strike there was no support and zero donations from the local farming community. They treated us with complete disdain
