🚨Our parliamentary democracy exists to make sure a government can’t just do whatever it wants. That must be respected - and that includes THIS GOVERNMENT

Liberty will be back in court NEXT WEEK to #DefendDemocracy.

This is why I shall be standing with them👇

Anyone who thought things would be different under Starmer's 'Labour' wasn't paying attention.

stavvy.bsky.social•151 days ago

It is sad, and concerning.

You helped back them Peter! Could you not tell their characteristics by how they took control of the left leaning Labour Party they were once. The working party. The party of the people, they used to be.????

The one that lost 2 GEs? Labour had to change to become something the majority of the electorate would vote for, & it worked. Like it or not, there are many people out there who won't accept left wing ideology 🤷

deanburnett.bsky.social•151 days ago

Which left wing policies don’t you like?
A fully funded and staffed NHS. Public electricity/gas/transport/water. No homelessness, and more social housing. No more need for food banks?
Corbyn’s last defeat, was still more votes than Starmer’s last win. He won only because Tory votes collapsed.

2300.bsky.social•150 days ago

I like all those policies, as does the Labour party. But these can't all be delivered overnight. Doesn't matter how many votes, Labour won convincingly. Under Corbyn it never did. Just realistically pragmatic these days, not ideological.

deanburnett.bsky.social•150 days ago

It’s not Ideological to want everyone to have food, to have a roof over their heads, to have a basic standard of living. No one disagrees with Corbyn’s policies yet say just as you, it won’t happen over night. Why. Because we have to make sure the rich are fed first. You really thin Starmer will??

Labour/Conservative? Will someone please tell me what the difference is now?

aminaerin.bsky.social•151 days ago

Just colours

Disappointing from Labour. Would like an explanation of why they think they need to pursue this.

hairyloon.bsky.social•151 days ago

Does the government have a leg to stand on?
What mistake do they claim that the High Court made?

ivorbolakov.bsky.social•150 days ago

The official side often claims ownership of secondary legislation and seeks to abuse its powers/authority based on the public lack of knowledge & complexities oft missed even by senior advocates and the courts

Our system is based on trust. I learnt from hard lessons:
NEVER trust the official side

Unfortunately, Starmer is as much of an authoritarian as any Tory of recent years.

This was clearly evident from what he did to become Labour leader.

Aided by Mandelson & Akehurst, he has actively made the Labour Party less democratic.

Crikey. Listening to this, I think it is the biggest single issue that now makes me recoil from this Labour government. How can they defend this use of ‘secondary legislation ‘!? They simply can’t. This is a transparent betrayal of their own former position, but above all, of the British people.

I think we should nominate Dr Pepper for Surgeon General. It’s time. He’s earned it.
