Yes.

The problem with Starmer bragging about how well they're managing the NHS, is that I work in the one of the largest hospitals in the UK and over the past year, there has been an acceleration in service cuts, standards of care are worsening, and we're now making staff redundant. Great... #PMQs

The UK deserves better than this lot. We seriously do... #PMQs

This is a very good point. The Tories created the laws that Connolly was prosecuted under, and their response now is effectively “No, wait, we didn’t mean it for these people”.

As far as I'm concerned, Starmer crossed the line a long time ago and Labour will not get my vote with him as leader. His comments on trans women just confirms that I made the right decision.

When it comes to promises and pledges, Starmer only delivers disappointment. #Labour #Starmer

Well done. Now get Starmer to read his original leadership pledges and renationalise essential industries, starting with Thames Water. Then Labour might win the next GE.

"Socialism”

It's unfathomable. It was clear that Starmer wouldn't be able to please both the traditional Labour base and the right wingers that he courted at the last GE, but to disappoint both seems to be is his only achievement.

All UK families ‘to be worse off by 2030’ as poor bear the brunt, new data warns Keir Starmer has been dealt a fresh blow to his living standards pledge in advance of the spring statement

Who'd have thought that #Labour would implode so soon? Not because of the usual right wing press nonsense about allegedly punishing the wealthy and increasing taxes, but because they've chosen to punish the most vulnerable in our society. Shame on #Starmer

No problem reneging on his pledges because "the situation has changed" but can't row back on any aspect of Brexit because, well, the people have voted. I'm starting to think Starmer doesn't have any principles...

Fair point, but my decision is the result of a slow burn. I can't keep being disappointed and thinking "one more chance...". Enough is enough.

The Greens are my most likely destination but I'll see which party addresses my own desire for electoral reform, EU membership and progressive politics.

Whoever represents the principles that I hold. I'll make a decision nearer the time.

The Greens are my most likely destination but I'll see which party addresses my own desire for electoral reform, EU membership and progressive politics.

Reneging on tuition fees and nationalisation because "circumstances have changed" but not discussing Brexit because "the electorate already decided" shows he's duplicitous and unprincipled. Not for me thanks!

Cuts to welfare. Cuts to international aid. Has Labour lurched too far to the right? People on benefits are worried and some MPs are talking of ‘cruelty’. Is Keir Starmer’s plan to cut public spending a betrayal of his party’s values?

I've sadly come to the conclusion that I can't vote for #Labour with Starmer in charge. They had my vote by default last year, but he's chosen the right wing voters courted at the last GE over their tradional left wing base. No Labour principles, no vote.

The UK is not as rich as it thinks – and won’t admit it If we were to join the US, we would be the poorest state in the union

“Why have we failed to have an open discussion about this for so long? A major element is the reliance on raw GDP – total national wealth – as the primary political & reporting indicator, instead of GDP per capita.”

Trump and his supporters should be ashamed.

After turning away from Twitter, I haven't got into the habit of using Blue Sky as mych as U'd like. But I do feel the need to state that Trump is shaming the USA and is a threat to the world. What a first class twat !

🚨 Breaking News!!!!!

No. Because he doesn't govern on principles, just according to the loudest voices, and that will always be the rabid right wing Brexiters. I'm hapoy to be wring though!!!

Yes he is. I'm a natural Kabour voter but Starmer has taken us for granted. I'm not sure who he represents, but it certainly isn't me and Labour won't get my vote for the forseeable future.

Keir Starmer reneged on multiple leadership pledges because apparently, "the economic situation has changed". However, he won't row back on Theresa May's red lines, despite, well, you know, opinion on Brexit having changed...

As a natural Labour voter, I chatted to my local Labour MP and explained that they had my vote by default at the GE, but they'd have to earn it for next time. So far, they're nowhere near getting it.

The free world isn't going to make it through the next four years is it...
