"I look at Starmer's trajectory and it is immensely difficult not to notice the trail of devastation left behind. Disabled people, Palestinians, trans people, and now immigrants. All I can see is someone who is willing to throw anyone out of his hot air balloon, just so it can rise higher."

He's rushing after the 1 sheep that ran away, neglecting the 99 who stayed faithful.
Great Christianity, lousy politics.
It's going to be a lot harder trying to round up the 99 when they scarper, fed up with being ignored.
Starmer is someone who fights with no goals, he shows no foresight beyond the next battle and wants to win for the sake of winning.
Seems Media Reform is off the table now too. 🤨
KS seems to be stating those parties are right, chasing a slice of that pie while repelling natural allies.
It is crazy.
With what you both said in this episode, I just wanted to ask what your thoughts were?
So confused.
It feels like he’s gone beyond doubling down though.
Don’t really have the words. Trust has gone. Feel like he’s capitulating? Validating GBNews?
Just don’t know anymore. Genuinely in shock, at a loss.
It was inside a report on sending failed asylum seekers to holding countries.
Thought it was a deepfake or something when I first saw it.
I was also trying to verify this last night @pimlicat.bsky.social
Thanks for your QR episode yesterday, well needed therapy 🙏
Don’t have the person I would have discussed it with anymore, they passed & like a weirdo I turned to Alex & Naomi.
Flabbergasted.
The bottom line is that that speech made people feel appalling. Some were made to feel unwelcome and unsafe, some were made to feel ashamed and useless, by those words.
The only discernable purpose of Labour's first term seems to be to win a second term.
I know Gary Stevenson is gaining momentum, even if he isn't really a leftist - but he's for all practical reasons a Marxist economist
Wait we did
More like fall less quickly.
I hope everyone in No.10 listens - Starmer listens. I hope it's a wake up call and he changes.
It's all so depressing.
