@thejapantimes so many BAD DECISIONS taken by inept #british politicians. #Covid and #brexit caused huge and lasting damage. But Brexit was a lie, encouraged by #Farage, and needs to be corrected. The #tories should be barred from holding power for a very long time.

Cold War Steve diptych.

Panel one: Terrorism.
Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper look on in stunned outrage at the engine of a jet fighter that has been crudely spray-painted red.

Panel two: Not terrorism.
Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper smile and laugh as they survey the scene of a Palestinian café that's just had a quarter-ton bomb dropped on it in a "precision strike" by the Israeli armed forces. — Cold War Steve diptych.

'Island of Strangers' from #Starmer was said to appeal to the xenophobic, and it's all bollocks.

Everyone, I don't know personally is a fucking stranger... What I do know is that ... As an elderly bloke, if I collapsed in the street, decent strangers would be there to assist me.

Every time Starmer opens his mouth he thinks he is appealing to the Reform voters, but he is definitely diminishing his standing and that of #Labour with voters.

I suspect once politicians get to the top then they think don't need advisers to tell them when stuff is ill-advised and they are being a gobshite
