Think only your nutter right wingers will start up the anti semitism shouts again tbh. Could have probably bolstered support if he’d had any conviction about him. Just further seems like a flip flopping wet cloth.

The Daily Mail, The Express, The MsM will have a field day.
The British public don’t need much persuasion to vote Tory, they think it makes them elite and middle class.
I honestly feel the Labour Party would be slaughtered for it and the British people are stupid enough to fall for it.
Starmer is just a fraud.
Some human rights lawyer he is

Oh no.
He’s taken off his poppy.
Never mess about with the poppy.

That his advisers think that Muslims wouldn't entertain the poppy says everything about them, and him.
Sorry for repeating something I said earlier, but there are two CWGC sites within the Gaza Strip that have been impeccably maintained for the past hundred years by locals. Most of us are unable to go there, yet the graves of our ancestors are treated with respect by them.

Good point.
Starmer - let's face it, like all 'Labour' right wingers he thinks Muslims are either terrorists or terrorist enablers. That's the mindset of the Labour Friends of Israel of which he and others from his inner team are members...with a cursory nod in the direction of a ' two state solution'.
I've said it before and I'll say it again (repeating the Forde Report too, btw): the Labour right wing leadership are racists. There's a long list of examples of it. Racist towards afro-carribean and Muslim people in the party.
They're as bad if not worse than the average Tory on matters of race and ethnicity. Anyone thinking that Labour are automatically for minorities are living under a massive misconception of who these people are. Starmer and his team are rotten to the core. Anti-democratic and racist...and Starmer himself let the mask slip on that by okaying the IDF to carry out a siege and then carpet bombing of Palestinians in Gaza. And when he was DPP he waived through torture charges against soldiers operating in Iraq. Please wake up and smell the coffee everyone.
FFS an alternative to that rank party is well overdue. 'Labour' is dead. It's a party no self-respecting democrat could have anything to do with.
And I thought I should put down the gin. Phew!

As I said...'massive delusion'.
Read around a bit and find out from people's experiences of this man as DPP and leader of the former Labour Party.
The Economist nailed it. These kind of issues are largely irrelevant to the electorate but will tear Labour apart in government, just as Europe was largely irrelevant to the electorate but tore the Tories (and ultimately us) apart.

Astonishing pathetic 30 councillors.
Thursday briefing: The Labour councillors quitting over Keir Starmer’s Israel-Hamas ceasefire stance
In today’s newsletter: More than 30 councillors have resigned from the party in protest against Starmer’s position – here’s why, in their own wordsamp.theguardian.com
They really do want 5 or 10 more years of the Tories.
What's worse is they are using Gaza Israel conflict as means to an end for their own domestic agenda. They have seen an opportunity to engage promote their dislike of Starmer! That goes for fair posters here including yourself.
Just one hour of safe corridor is better than nothing and if you truly are in the business of saving lifes even if you manage one it's better than shouting from a position of comfortable obscurity about ceasefire and achieving nothing.

May do some damage but this particular issue is being largely ignored by Sky and BBC for the most part damage will be limited. Not for the want of trying by Tory client media.The Economist nailed it.

Why the assumption that British voters switch to the Conservatives as they grow older is wrong
Fewer people are being ‘socialised’ into Conservative voting since the dominance of New Labour in the 1990s.

Corbyn would have sorted this in a day
I’ve seen plenty of folk who have not had a bad word to say about him previously, be very critical of his stance here. Just because the Tories are a disgusting institution and need rid of doesn’t mean that Labour can be free of any kind of criticism.
Find this whole ‘support labour at all costs’ thing to be pretty naive to be honest. The long term consequences don’t bear thinking about.

Now come you under estimate you know very well he also would have signed up Elon regulated AI and saved the world from ourselves. All before getting to allotment by 2pm and tending to his Brussel sprouts while brokering peace between by Vlad and Zen.
