Maybe things can't only get better for Keir Starmer, as he is shamed with the latest polling just as the Labour conference begins

    Huh? He banned weapons exports to Israel, publicly condemned Israel for war crimes, sanctioned a bunch of members of their parliament, ramped up aid for Palestine, committed to arresting Netanyahu if he ever steps foot on British soil, resisted joining the US and Israel with their attacks in Iran, and has recognised Palestine.

    And still has contracts for the Israeli military to train British troops, and still criminalises the expression of support for Palestinian rights. At best, we’re seeing some mixed messaging here.

    They’ve been a centre-left party for half a century now.

    Sure, because there’s no difference between Labour under Michael Foot or Corbyn and Labour under Blair or Starmer. /s

      FFS, why are you lying? Supporting Palestine is not illegal. The government supports Palestine. Stop the lies.

      The only thing that’s illegal is supporting a proscribed violent group.

      Sure, because there’s no difference between Labour under Michael Foot or Corbyn and Labour under Blair or Starmer. /s

      Obviously they’re different under every leader. They’re still centre left and I just proved it to you. You being too stupid to accept it doesn’t change reality. Go look at my list again.

      At least he’s not a supporter of Putin like Corbyn, and could actually win an election unlike Corbyn.
