Why is Keir Starmer commenting on the assassination of a far-right commentator and activist in an entirely different country? This is like if Trump gave a big speech about someone from a UK left-wing Youtube channel if they were killed. Starmer didn't comment on the death of Melissa Hortman.

When I posted that I was the "lesbian staffer" that quit Duffield's office, Linehan went for me and I had days and days of abuse (Duffield did nothing natch). It was probably the most online homophobia I've ever experienced, and he called me a disgrace to gay rights.

There is literally no benefit in throwing your lot in with Glinner. No one likes Glinner, there are even terfs that don't like Glinner. Glinner's kids don't like Glinner.

Starmer has the political instincts of a deck chair.

Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse
And if you're wondering whether someone getting killed is what it will take for the media and political class to come to their senses, I would just remind you that Jo Cox was murdered in a similar moment of demagoguery and hysteria 9 years ago, and if anything things have got far worse since then.
People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".

In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on:
“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

It is genuinely interesting to see what crowds Labour will listen to. Tens of thousands for Palestine, for Trans rights? We can fuck off.

40 racist arsonists crying about foreigners? Legitimate concerns. We hear you.
Govt minister Angela Eagle is asked what her message is to people on the streets shouting "get this scum off our streets" & holding banners saying 'protecting women & children is not far right, its just right'

In her reply Eagle says "we hear your worries"

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to *high-info* voters.

The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"
