Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Vile, just like painting Star of David on Jewish owned houses in 1930s Germany. Yet Starmer is too busy arresting Palestine action pensioners to round up actual Facist terrorists.
Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.
This is getting very dark, very quick.

Centrism isn't an obstacle to fascism or a bulwark against it. It's a welcome mat.
There's no point telling people "It's Starmer or Farage" when the dynamic at work here is plainly Starmer *and* Farage.
"Labour or Reform" makes as much sense at this point as "Vichy or the Third Reich".

He's terrible on every level. Worse than I ever imagined possible.
Good God, Starmer's at it again.
We're seeing people attacked and racially abused in the streets, businesses being vandalised and graffitied, and all he can think to do is keep beating the "!!! FEAR IMMIGRANTS !!!" drum louder and louder and louder.
He is the enemy now as much as the Tories were.
