Personally, I think it's wrong that Starmer, with a Jewish family, family in Isreal and as a committed Zionist who receives donations from Labour Friends of Isreal, has any binding say, without extreme scrutiny, on the Isreal and Palestine issue. We need better.

Shithouse Starmer with the classic 'I sincerely regret (being found out).'
Standards Regulators 2, Government 0
😵💫 It is not surprising that two standards regulators have gently reprimanded both the Prime Minister and the Culture Minister over the appointment of the head of the new football regulator given the poor state of conflicts of interest management in government.

Politico: "Veteran BBC presenter David Dimbleby told Channel 4 last night that it is “one of the most violent assaults on the BBC’s independence that I’ve seen in my lifetime,” while Playbook is told staff have been voicing “a lot of anger towards [right wing BBC board member] Robbie Gibb.”

As the week draws to a close waking up to another absolute shit show from Starmer's Labour Cabinet, across all areas of government. A speed boat heading for the rocks while they all look the other way giving each other supportive hand jobs. Complete incompetence and lack of political nounce.

Sickening rhetoric by Home Secretary. Denying access to human rights isn't "protecting the public". This is Labour further demonising those seeking asylum in language very reminiscent of the far right. Yes, some break the law, so should be prosecuted within the law. Removing rights is not the answer

I remember saying when she was appointed she'd be an even bigger liability than Starmer. Like Mahmood, another school prefect trying desperately to be voted head girl at the establishment school for *****.
This would be the end of this particular Labour government, I think. A budget in very difficult circumstances whose economic logic is so nakedly determined by the political interests of its proponents is a recipe for disaster - also deeply unserious from a market perspective.
