Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair.

At @thenerve_news we’ve tracked Blair’s influence - & his billionaire backer Larry Ellison - behind a policy that nobody asked for & almost nobody wants.

BREAKING: Donald Trump goes on a deranged rant claiming countries want him to serve as the leader of Europe.

This level of delusion is not normal.

You’d think MPs would be lining up to decry the US president’s support for far-right nationalists. Instead, only backbenchers and a few junior ministers bothered to turn up

They were pretty silent on Boris Johnson’s antisemitism too. It’s almost as though the right wing get a pass.
This could be boiled down to "Guys, you're embarrassing me". That explains why it's in Jewish News and not the Guardian, but it also explains why Freedland is prepared to admit for once that the "official community's" attitude has always been political.

It's noticeable that the people who are now angriest with Keir Starmer's Labour government are those who voted for it. And they are right to be. This has been his primary achievement.
So where on earth does he think Labour voters will come from, next time round?
How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

tbf I feel the same about reporters and farage
I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.
The Home Office continues to use language that its own data refutes
