Sneaky underhand bastard. I bet he’s really calling for this because he wants a way to weaken many aspects of human rights, especially trans rights and bodily autonomy. I do hope the #EU and the #ECHR can and will resist. #PerfidiousAlbion #Starmer #Labour

Lest we forget: Streeting accepted £15k from a donor with huge interests in privatised health care. The Electoral Commission register shows he received the donation from John Armitage, a hedge fund founder & manager who has given over £3million to the Tories. Streeting is an unprincipled Labour #Quisling!

wrote for Mainstream on how UK Labour gov't is falling behind on combating far-right & state propaganda by relying constantly on Xitter/Meta platforms – even though some figures within call for diverging from them – and why it's imperative to offer an alternative on a gov't level, as well as grassroots level
(while target audience for this post is people outside of Fedi, I think it's fair to demand similar things from other gov'ts)

Start with the obvious; insecurity, poverty, lack of employment opportunities, lack of a path to any kind of decent future - a home, a pension, family, a decent job with decent pay, no medical care available in a timely fashion. The demonisation of peoples sexual identity, and racism. Bullying on line, by government, by social expectations…. #Labour #Streeting #MentalHealth

Because too many people in the UK let him get away with using the Cass Review to take away puberty blockers from trans kids (it's NOT complex how it works folks)

I was already done with the shrivelled husk that still calls itself the #Labour Party and will be voting #Green in future — a party that actually stands for something. But if I'd not yet given up on Labour, yesterday's vile anti-refugee rhetoric would have put the lid on it.
The UK has not had a #Conservative Party for ten years now: the name and machinery succumbed to reverse takeover by UKIP. Now the same is happening to the former Labour Party.
It's a cancer.

The United States presented a Russian made peace plan that in the long rung would turn Ukraine into a new Russian vassal state, right on the border of the EU; and then Trump said, Ukraine was required to sign the plan before Thanksgiving.
Not one EU leader has had the courage to stand up and say, this US administration has now sided with our enemy.
Not one.
How are we supposed to defend freedom, when those in charge close their eyes to a direct frontal assault happening in broad daylight?
Well, we in the UK are still in the throes of a Russian influence canpaign that has brought us Brexit and Farage.
And, yes, no politician from the traditional UK parties is prepared to call it.
Oh and an influence campaign by US evangelical racists and tech bros (in so far as any of those categories are distinct.) And #labour is certainly not going to call that.
#Starmer remains, essentially, a coward.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year
– means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
