Often partisan, left leaning working class liberal elitist NHS prole who likes chips and gravy.

The problem with Starmer bragging about how well they're managing the NHS, is that I work in the one of the largest hospitals in the UK and over the past year, there has been an acceleration in service cuts, standards of care are worsening, and we're now making staff redundant. Great... #PMQs

This is a very good point. The Tories created the laws that Connolly was prosecuted under, and their response now is effectively “No, wait, we didn’t mean it for these people”.
Two uncomfortable truths with the Lucy Connolly story:
1. Suspect the right are missing how deeply authoritarian the British public are. They tend to *like* these laws and sentences.
2. Most of the British political class liked them too, until they were applied to a middle class white woman.

As far as I'm concerned, Starmer crossed the line a long time ago and Labour will not get my vote with him as leader. His comments on trans women just confirms that I made the right decision.

Who'd have thought that #Labour would implode so soon? Not because of the usual right wing press nonsense about allegedly punishing the wealthy and increasing taxes, but because they've chosen to punish the most vulnerable in our society. Shame on #Starmer

I've sadly come to the conclusion that I can't vote for #Labour with Starmer in charge. They had my vote by default last year, but he's chosen the right wing voters courted at the last GE over their tradional left wing base. No Labour principles, no vote.

Cuts to welfare. Cuts to international aid. Has Labour lurched too far to the right?
People on benefits are worried and some MPs are talking of ‘cruelty’. Is Keir Starmer’s plan to cut public spending a betrayal of his party’s values?

After turning away from Twitter, I haven't got into the habit of using Blue Sky as mych as U'd like. But I do feel the need to state that Trump is shaming the USA and is a threat to the world. What a first class twat !

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.
Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?
Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.
Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA
