"If there is a defining mark of Keir #Starmer’s administration, it is immediate capitulation to powerful lobby groups, especially corporations and billionaires. This is what explains the otherwise inexplicable: its planning policy, tax policy, competition policy, deregulation policy, AI policy, food policy, its plans to reboot private partnerships in the #NHS, its banning of #PalestineAction."

I’m still on the fence about Corbyn and Sultana’s #YourParty.

There is so much baggage with Corbyn and Sultana seemed to jump the gun on announcing the party, which got it off to a very bad start in many people’s eyes,

But that doesn’t take away from the fact #Labour under #Starmer is a far cry from what people thought they voted for.

The points Corbyn makes here are entirely right and will resonate with many.

“Scapegoating vulnerable people has always been a deliberate ploy by the government to distract from its own domestic failures.

Today, it might be #asylum seekers.

Tomorrow, it could be #disabled people.

The next day, #trans people.

Whatever the minority, we are witnessing the demonisation of vulnerable people, to the grave detriment of us all.”

#Starmer’s #Labour government has laid itself wide open to these criticisms by #Corbyn.

Because it has turned against each of these groups.

If #Starmer thinks he can demonise the same minorities that #Reform and the #Tories have been kicking for over a decade and get away with it, he’s deluded.

Those who enjoy bashing minorities will continue to vote for the full fat version of rightwing parties.

Those that don’t, will no longer vote #Labour.

Zarah Sultana, on #UKLabour under #Starmer.
"Here is a party that wants to impose cuts on some of the most marginalised people in our society in order to please investors. Here is a party that, for the first time in British history, is criminalising a non-violent activist group, using the most repressive parts of the state to protect the profit margins of arms manufacturers. If these aren’t red lines for you, then frankly you don’t have any."

#UK'S Keir #Starmer:

"We're talking about security, not just of #Ukraine, we're talking about the security of #Europe & the #UnitedKingdom as well, which is why this is such an important issue."

#Finland’s Alexander #Stubb:

"The fact that we're around this table today is very much symbolic, in the sense that it's Team Europe & Team United States helping Ukraine."
