So grim to see Keir Starmer going even further to the right.

He seems totally incapable of talking about why immigration is a good thing.

Totally incapable of talking about our skills gap.

Totally incapable of humanity & compassion.

It's only after the car has been crashed do they have some modicum of rationalisation to proclaim "hey maybe this was a bad idea"

More likely they'll blame the road, the car, the passengers, the bar they came from, the brand of shoe they're wearing, the weather that night but what they won't do is take any responsibility.

This piece of shit Starmer is even more dangerous than Farage, because he operates under the disguise of „left leaning Labour“.

But we're the naive children, right?

And the drunks blame the leftwing for crashing headlong into the railway tracks.

Having actually been there, it was the only time I've ever been happy to see a cop when they got pulled over barely having made it out of the culdesac
