Starmer's government are the authoritarian right and until Labour MPs either remove from office or leave Labour so are they.

It looks like you're hoping Clippy's soul will be torn asunder for all eternity in the fiery depths of hell.

Would you like help?

Mahmood: Pro-Palestinian protests 'un-British' after terror attack The home secretary told BBC Breakfast she was disappointed pro-Palestinian protests went ahead.

Fuck this.

The Home Secretary is conflating the antisemitic terror attack that left two dead with the peaceful protests against the ongoing Gaza genocide.

Labour are morally bankrupt. There needs to be a change of leadership that fully removes Starmer and his ilk.

One summer my father attempted to read the entire non-fiction section of his local library when he was a young child. Apparently he made pretty significant progress before school restarted.

Starmer's correct, we shouldn't vote for obviously racist scumbags who only care about the rich and powerful at the expense of everyone else.

Journalists should ask Labour ministers why they think it's somehow less racist to have migrants prove they're "one of the good ones" before they can stay in the UK

Anyway, there are some free episodes if you search the podcast name himboos and/or gamefully unemployed wherever you get podcasts, so you don’t have to subscribe to the Patreon without knowing if you like it or not. It also has a giant backlog of β€œ Fox Mulder is a maniac” you’d like if you like this

BritCard: a progressive digital identity for Britain

For a progressive society to work, it needs to be able to collectively agree who is allowed to join it. Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong. The UK doesn’t do this. Our conflicted historic approach to issuing identity credentials has led to a situation that represents the worst of both worlds. We currently can’t effectively stop people from living and working in our country illegally. Nor can we efficiently support legal citizens and residents to exercise their rights.

Starmer needs to be removed. His constant pandering to the right, whether it's due to stupidity, his own right-wing bigotries, external pressure from donors, or anything else, is ruining people's lives and steering us closer to fascism.

The "Left" hasn't "gone wrong" on immigration, it just isn't scared of people from other countries, or eager to foment violence against them to distract from inequality and suffering caused by those with wealth and power.

Keir Starmer has publicly acknowledged "where some on the left went wrong" on immigration, saying that his party needs to tackle "every aspect of the problem".

Writing in the Telegraph, the prime minister said that Labour was being forced to counter the "rise of the populist right", noting the increasing popularity of Reform UK posed a challenge for both the Conservatives and the left.

He is expected to announce plans for a compulsory UK-wide digital ID scheme in a speech on Friday, as part of Labour's push to address illegal immigration.

His government has been under pressure to tackle the issue, with more than 50,000 migrants arriving on small boats since Labour came to power.

"There is no doubt that for years, left-wing parties, including my own, did shy away from people's concerns around illegal immigration," Sir Keir wrote in the Telegraph, external.

"It has been too easy for people to enter the country, work in the shadow economy and remain illegally."

Sir Keir wrote that the government "must make and win the case for patriotic national renewal, based on enduring British values", calling on "fair-minded Britons" to reject Reform's "toxic" solution.

He also warned against the perils of "poisonous" online debate, and of a "coming struggle, a defining struggle, a violent struggle" for the nation.

Why the fuck does Starmer think countering the "rise of the populist right" means buying into their hateful rhetoric and creating laws based on fear and othering?

Oh. Yeah. Because he's a bigoted scumbag looking for any excuse.

Perhaps instead of feeling uncomfortable while watching someone struggling these bastards could try learning how to help, support, and accept?

Wanting to make traits you find uncomfortable go away is the root of eugenics.
