Honestly I've not seen this much close reading of Sir Keir's words and their incredibly sophisticated parallel universe meaning since "Israel has that right " to shut off water and electricity
Correct. The claim that Starmer was “echoing” Powell only makes sense if you decouple the words from their meaning and message, which in Powell’s case was predicting mass racial violence.
Why Starmer’s “island of strangers” remark owed more to Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone than Enoch Powell. www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.
What about those who are suffering here and now?
We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership.
It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead.
We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands.

I dressed as a spider for World Book Day today (Charlotte), costume once belonged to my kid, with lovely thick plush legs sticking out of it. I was weaving my way through the dining hall silently judging all the staff members who hadn’t made an effort & then one of them told me it isn’t WBD
