Not sure how effective it will be without auditing every single donation.

He's heard the concerns of his millionaire foreign donor community

Looking at today’s poll, Starmer better follow Greenland or he will get fucked.

gillmh.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think he already has been. He's not a leader.

trotsystoe.bsky.social•25 days ago

I agree, however he appears to be the best of a bad lot. We are part of a post covid epidemic of nazism due to the standard of living falling . Which in turn was due to over spending and lack of productivity .

Starmer needs to give his backbenchers a chance. No doubt that he inherited an economic disaster. However, he did say that those with the broadest shoulders would bear the greatest burden. Instead the old, the sick and poor have been targeted.

I agree.

Lord Alli, his favourite donor, has vetoed it

I'm not surprised. Trump's threat to invade Greenland must honestly worry the indigenous peoples of Greenland. Because America has a history of sticking its indigenous people into reservations.
Is that something that you think Donald Trump capable of doing, if he invades greenland?

Can't upset Lord Alli 🤨

He's a joke.

Just because you propose to pass a law doesn't mean anything has happened yet or that it will make a blind bit of difference. As Trump and Musk have amply demonstrated over the past few days, laws are only for poor chumps.

This is very smart and will completely confuse Trump & Musk, who think money in the only currency and all the other values are just fluff

marccooper.bsky.social•25 days ago

The conclusion being Starmer's happy to let foreign money into British politics.

thinkitthrough.bsky.social•25 days ago

He's crooked!

j19-aw.bsky.social•25 days ago

Perhaps he's waiting for Paul Whittaker to text him? Just saying! 🤷‍♀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😏

Starmer didn't get where he is today without foreign donations.
