Here's Keir Starmer before the general election promising Ukrainian refugees that he will stand with them "as long as it takes".
Now his Government's own policy is that "the era of permanent protection [for refugees] is over"

No Wes Streeting, the BMA is not acting like a cartel. It’s acting like a trade union. And frankly it’s disgusting to hear you talk like this while huge numbers of doctors can’t get NHS jobs because you haven’t created them, while millions of patients are on waiting lists🚨🚨🚨

Brexit was about corruption and tax avoidance. Sunak and Starmer stitched us up like a kipper with the new deregulated Freeports. Companies pay no tax , but private companies receive tax payers money to run Freeports. Contracts until 2048. Corrupt as hell. Pass it on..... #BrexitCorruption

No, you DO NOT have immunity. The federal government cannot give you immunity regarding STATE LAWS.
And Trump cannot pardon you either for state crimes.
