Characterising equality initiatives as “‘actually, we're about anti-whiteness'” is the kind of thing Musk and Trump do. This is far-right framing from Streeting, and has no place in any mainstream political party in the UK, let alone the ostensibly left-wing(!) one

Trying to rebuild my Twitter as it was circa 2014-18.

New year, new social media presence.
