If it's anything like the UK, he'd have become a TV host, 'impartially' interviewing his politician wife.

How does a 'mistake' like this even happen? Seriously?

There needs to be criminal charges here.

Horrific.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

This is totally unacceptable.

Ten years ago, the UK was number 1 in Europe for LGBTI equality, it is now 22nd in Europe.

Itโ€™s dropped to its lowest ever level under this Labour government.

Labourโ€™s policies risk creating a society where everyone must prove who they are simply to go about their daily lives.

Is this really the future we want?

I think this might be up words, there are little nubs on the board and pieces look stackable (never played up words, so can't be sure)

No love for Starmer but if saying Nigel Farage's policies are racist put him in danger what is this doing?

They also say transphobia is awful while treating trans people like criminals.

Almost like Starmer is a lying piece of shit.

There are already groups advocating adding "birth sex" to it, presumably to enable the bathroom police.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.

So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

If there was a strategic person left in Labour, they'd see extent of pushback and scrap all plans to execute it; never announce that publicly, just hope everyone forgets - in that scenario it'd be good to reply sooner, so that there's longer for people to forget about it before the next election.

I watched the clip of Emily Thornberry accuse Owen of misogyny the day after watching him having a set to with Luke Akehurst.

That accusation (and we see it from GCs all the time) is the last resort of someone desperately trying to deflect from their indefensible position.

It's basic ad hominem ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Starmer to end asylum โ€˜golden ticketโ€™ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call โ€˜straight from populist playbookโ€™

So if Iโ€™ve grasped the galaxy-brained strategy here, itโ€™s:
โœ… Day 1: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & youโ€™re ready to make them suffer
โœ… Day 2: tell target voters their ideas are racist
โœ… Day 3: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & youโ€™re ready to make them suffer

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.

This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.
