Splendid, another twat.
It never gets better, the next one is always worse
Tells me everything I needed to know about him
Very enthusiastic slaughter of civilians will do too. Hello Starmer v2.
Fine, call it a "shadow" genocide, package it with the Epstein files, and let's get the ball rolling on ridding the world leadership of pedophiles!
Or, I'm guessing, we won't.
Sure, and 9/11 was just a navigation error.
What a stupid asshole.
Oh, awesome. Another genocide apologist.
Hmm. Not strictly black and white, is it?
"The Manchester mayor also backed the formal recognition of a Palestinian state, co-signing a letter in June 2025 demanding the UK government take action to protect the two-state framework."
Support for a bantustan Palestinian puppet state is not a good thing.
This isn't some game of political points. The world's preeminent genocide scholars via their international body, the UN independent commission of inquiry, and a whole host of credible human rights organizations are calling it a genocide. Either a politician accepts overwhelming evidence or they live in post-truth lalaland, the same space as antivaxxers and climate deniers.
Actually it is, if you spare your mind this centrist liberal BS you wrote. It will be as clear as the tens of thousands of children that Israel killed/still killing in the past two years.
What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
A second Keir, and just as genocidal
Wanted to say the same. From the frying pan into the fire. Labour will get wrecked in the next elections.
Only for the similarly Israel funded Reform to win, because while we keep fighting on whether the next candidate is anti-Israel enough, Reform manages to unite the dumbfucks of the country.
And if Brexit has proven anything it's that the damn country has way too many dumbfucks who'll gladly throw away everything just so a guy who blames the "right" people for the country's troubles gets to be PM.
I'm sorry that I draw the line at genocide.
i mean, people could try voting Green, no ? fascist or fascist lite it is ffs
I agree. Labours weakness in recognizing that a more leftist oriented stance is needed will be a windfall for the Reform Nazis.
At least, not until they're all gone. /s
We did it Reddit
Person wanting to be prime minister says least surprising (or doesn't) thing ever. What did people expect?
Maybe acknowledge the basic facts and not be a genocider.
People expected a leader who had some interest in what his constituents want instead of what monied genocidal foreign power demands.
People were hoping he’d call a spade a spade I guess
At least acknowledge we are seeing the same horrible reality so that we can make the same effective work for change.
Not a chance here, he is an establishment tool. It's good to get rid of Keir but this guy is going to be just as bad.
Kind of oddly worded. Sounds like he doesn't want to comment on it because he's not PM yet.
He is in the labour friend of israel organization
RIP broEdit: do you have any evidence of this? Can't see him listed in any of the publicly available member lists.
