I presume that #Starmer has a focus group counting how many right wing votes this is chalking up.

Chat GPT tells me that #LabourParty membership has dropped from 348,500 to 309,000 since July 2024. So at that rate, #Starmer and co could be in a race against time to kill the party by 2029 ...

How embarrassing to see #BBCNews reporting on 360 arrests for peaceful protests and then moving on to the real scandal in #Gaza.

I have often asked why anyone would vote for Trump, but then remember that I voted for Starmer ...

Just when you think it could not get any worse from this government they appoint someone from #TheS*n as director of communications! How utterly tone deaf.

Cabinet ministers and third of MPs call on Starmer to recognise state of Palestine Exclusive: Rayner and Cooper understood to back action as 221 MPs sign letter calling for UK recognition of statehood

"But it must be part of a wider plan which ultimately results in a two-state solution and lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis." Empty words ...

A letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer on 25 July calls for urgent action on Gaza. He urges a ceasefire, says Trump could influence Israel, and wants Starmer to press him on ending the fighting and getting proper aid in.

A follow-up section of Ed Daveyโ€™s 25 July letter to Keir Starmer. He urges Starmer to push Trump on a joint UK-US UN resolution for a Gaza ceasefire, reopening humanitarian corridors, and recognising Palestine. Davey says the UK must leadโ€”even if it means challenging Trumpโ€”and calls on Starmer to show that leadership during Trumpโ€™s UK visit.

Iโ€™ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to use Trumpโ€™s visit to the UK to push for an end to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

As Israel launches an assault on Deir al-Balah, 67 #Palestinians executed for queuing for food and children die of hunger, our disgraceful #Labour government arrests pensioners and religious leaders for protesting.
