@rhys Its like they are punching holes in the side of a sinking ship. Starmer would definitely not have been my choice, but I think he's the best Britain has got for now, and should see out the term.
Related, but not: the UK press wants to see the country burn for clicks.

Why are the #workingclass in the UK voting AGAINST their interests?!?
The right-wing kool-aid drinking whack job #ReformUK gives ZERO f*cks for the working class...
#ReformUK only adds to the division, hate, and fears of Wales, Scotland, etc.

> I didn't think the specific person in the post was the issue, but rather the principle.
well, that is the problem: you are entirely willing to buy in to a counter-factual hypothetical (or put more bluntly: a lie) to prove a point.
what are the effects of "the left" being willing to go on the offensive against someone for made-up charges of being anti-jewish?
well, it got #JeremyCorbyn evicted from #LabourUK. at their latest party conference the danish red-green alliance ( #Enhedslisten ) expelled the palestine-solidarity group for being »damaging to the party« and they voted to confirm »israels right to exist.« this is enabling crackdown on protests and allowing #Terma and #Mærsk to continue to supply weapons for the genocide. how's it going in #Vänsterpartiet ?
if you're cool with your jewish friend is "pro-palestinean" while being offended at »free palestine«, would you then also be cool with your white friend throwing a tantrum upon hearing »black lives matter« ? i'd be worried about your friend, because he's making the same claim to be "pro-palestine" as this blood-thirsty rabbi is.
two years of fucking full on zionist genocide and you're instantly ready to tone-police someone for »free palestine«, wtf?! please read el-kurd's essay i posted earlier in the thread.

Remember, this is a so-called left wing government demanding this and yet despite clear bias towards the Israeli military regime, nobody lifts a eyelid over their 70000 dead men, women, and children.
I've zero sympathy for the heads of the #BBC but it's worrying times when a party who's supposed to be left wing does everything to be far right.

in April 2017, Her Majesty's Opposition, the UK Labour Party, was polling around 26% under Jeremy #Corbyn, down from 31% when he took over party leadership in Feb 2016.
Corbyn's socialist policy platform was despised by the corporate class as representing a direct threat to their plutocratic stranglehold on power. So the UK press have a spent year alternating between ignoring and attacking Corbyn. Yet over that period #LabourUK membership ballooned, rising from around 200,000 to over 500,000, making it the largest political party in western Europe, as an increasing number of regular voters discovered via social media that Corbyn was in fact not owned by corporate lobbyists.
So by April 2017, much of the media are waging a relentless campaign to oust Corbyn as leader, interrupting his attempts to address policy matters with variations on "when will you step down?".
Now, fast-forward to today. Under Keir #Starmer, UK Labour are polling at an average of merely 20%, with one poll this week putting them on 15% and even behind the #Greens for the first time ever. In Thursday's #Caerphilly by-election for #Senedd (Welsh Parliament) in a seat Labour has held for a century and which it most recently won on 45%, Labour managed only 11%.
Where are the media calls for Starmer's resignation?

"Labour’s collective belief in the dignity of labour regularly curdles into two toxic ways of thinking. One is a belief that paid employment is the only reliable gauge of people’s esteem; the other is a queasiness about disability that sometimes lurks just below the surface. There is also an apparently desperate need to counter any suggestion that Labour ministers are liberal fainthearts. In March, the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, offered a curt explanation of why the government was set on its plan: “This is the Labour party. The clue is in the name. We believe in work”."

Royaume-Uni : le virage vers la droite de Keir Starmer sur l’immigration
> Une dizaine de jours après la progression spectaculaire du parti de droite populiste Reform UK aux élections locales, Keir Starmer a changé de ton devant la presse, lundi 12 mai. Le Premier ministre britannique a rompu avec la vision historique de son parti et repris à son compte une rhétorique associée à la droite dure.

In any actual #democracy, the main opposition party getting 34% of the vote after one of the worst governments in the Western world in the last 70 years would be a terrible result and would be very shaky foundation to claim a mandate to govern alone. In the #UK, it gives you a 2/3 majority and several odes written by mediocre media. #politics #politicsUK #ElectionsUK #labouruk #starmer

I find this stuff so depressing.
If we're lucky we get a solid 70 years on this planet before our bodies give out on us. Why can't be strive to do more than just...work for a living.
I want to spend time with my family, and my nieces and nephews. I want to make stuff, see stuff and experience stuff.
I can't do most of that because I have to work. I don't want to 'make work pay' as much as I want to be allowed to live a life.
