Politically, #Starmer has the “reverse Meidas touch.”
With left-wing members haemorrhaging from what was once the #Labour Party, the principle-less fool strategically floats adrift trying to appease hard right #ReformUK supporters who will never vote for him.

Starmer should never have got involved with the decision of the local authorities in Birmingham regarding the Villa match and linking it to anti-semitism was idiotic.
