A key message for Starmer's version of a Labour government.
The likes of Nigel Farage only offer fear and despair. To defeat that we must offer hope with policies to fix the problems in the country.

It is obscene that this appalling situation is permitted in one of the world's richest countries
And much of it is aided by the Starmer government's refusal to scrap the 2-child benefit cap, whil leaving the rich untouched

Yep, no sign of his apology!
Has Starmer apologised for his "island of strangers" racist comment? #bbcpm

Quite right!
The Lib Dems have tabled a censure motion, calling on Parliament to rebuke Sarah Pochin’s racist remarks and for Nigel Farage to withdraw the whip.
Lib Dems urge the Govt & Tories to back the motion, saying "it’s about time the Conservative Party stood up for British values of decency & tolerance.”

A £75,000 spend on flags by this council, at a time when services to the elderly and young people are being reduced is bloody disgraceful. Ladies & Gentlemen, this is how the Reform Party behaves when it has power! No thank you! #ReformParty

Independent MP Ayoub Khan makes comments after Tel Aviv football derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting
Keir Starmer’s national grooming gang inquiry has suffered a blow after a prominent survivor resigned from its overseeing panel saying she disagreed with a shortlist of two possible chairs, Rajeev Syal reports.
The independent MP Ayoub Khan has called for an apology from Keir Starmer for his criticism of West Midlands police at the end of last week after it proposing banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an Aston Villa match in Birmingham next month. Starmer suggested this amounted to capitulation to antisemitism, and the government is now trying to ensure the police get the resources they need to ensure the Maccabi fans can attend.

What's happening in British politics is a bit like what's happening at Leeds. Whilst in opposition (the championship) Starmer looked good against the Tories. Now he's PM (premier League) he's not good enough and his front benches are a bit shit like #lufc front 3.

Couldn't agree more. Complete travesty of any idea of operational independence. Clearly unsafe to start meddling for political reasons in an assessment of safety. And if (God forbid) there is serious trouble, it will rebound on the Government and on Starmer personally.
Tories & Labour here all gone STARK RAVING MAD, treating a safety assessment by an OFFICIAL BODY, BACKED BY THE POLICE, as an antisemitic hate-crime.

The party of government, that won a generational landslide just over a year ago, is polling at just 15%.
Starmer will be remembered as one of the worst prime ministers in British history, and a willing midwife for the fascism to come.

C7onflating criticism of Israeli government with antisemitism has been the propaganda fig leaf that Zionists have been using since Corbyn 's leadership.
Being pro-Palestinian is not being anti-Jewish.
Just as being pro-Jewish is not being anti-Palestinian.
Irresponsible language and framing from the Home Secretary.
It is perfectly right that people both protest the Gaza genocide and mourn the Manchester attack.
