really really cool and great that it only took four or five months, 30000 dead palestinians, countless war crimes and human rights violations - starmer was a human rights lawyer by the way - a provisional ruling at the ICJ, the suspension of several labour MPs and candidates for voicing pro-palestinian sentiments, the threat of rebellion within the PLP, and losing potential voters just before a general election for him to come to this conclusion!

“The Labour party now is unrecognisable from the one that lost in 2019”
That's not the flex you think it is

From Thatcher to Sunak – toxic divide and rule has always been the Tory weapon of choice
“In a briefing to the Conservative-supporting Times newspaper, reported under the headline ‘Rishi Sunak aims to divide and rule after poll setback’, an ‘ally’ underscored the prime minister’s intentions, informing readers that he intends to weaponise migration, trans rights and crime to turn around the Tories’ electoral fortunes. This is indicative of Sunak’s character and desperation, but is consistent with the oldest traditions of the Tories.
“This is a political party that has always represented the interests of Britain’s wealthy elite, but knows that it cannot win elections by presenting itself as doing so: in a democracy, after all, the rich represent a tiny slice of voters. This is why so many Tories fiercely rejected the expansion of the electorate: in the 19th century, the future Tory prime minister Lord Salisbury sulked that ‘first-rate men will not canvass mobs, and mobs will not elect first-class men’.
“As such, the politics of divide and rule has long been a key weapon in the Tory armoury. Migrants have been a particular target ... In the late 1970s, Margaret Thatcher stoked prejudice by declaring that ‘people are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture’ ... Today’s Tories, of course, intend to deport scores of refugees and migrants, while describing them as the ‘invasion on our southern coast’, wilfully conjuring up imagery of weapon-toting armies ...
“The same goes for LGBTQ+ people. The Tories and their media allies waged a culture war against gay people in the 1980s, presenting them as would-be sexual predators ... Today’s Tories plan to compel schools to inform parents if their child changes their gender self-identification – placing many young trans people at risk of bigoted parents for the sake of indulging moral panic ...
“How depressing, then, that in Keir Starmer the Tories have an opponent devoid of any obvious principled core, who will do little to defend the targets of Conservative ire. Sunak’s desperate ploy – however rooted it is in a devastatingly effective Tory tradition – is unlikely to succeed, such is the nadir his party finds itself in. That will provide little comfort to the marginalised communities on the receiving end, and will leave our already morally corrupted democracy in a more toxic mire than ever.”

It's honestly frustrating how weirdly fucking tribal Labour are when it comes from agreeing with other parties. Just call for a ceasefire??? They're so fucking concerned about 'giving ground' to the SNP than actually doing the right thing.

Gary an expert in economics explains what is to come with the next austerity government and how we the middle and working class need to take action to force labour to stop backing austerity economics in the next election. Gary calls what we in England are experiencing as a collapse in living standards and we the people need to fight to regain our standard of living our dignity and respect taken by the neoliberal government.

so shadow health secretary wes streeting - who is a gay man btw - has said that labour will ban trans patients from single-sex hospital wards, and will instead create separate wards just for trans people.
this kind of segregation, which would inevitably lead to differing health outcomes, is a ‘priority’ for labour. apparently. at a time when every NHS hospital in the country is already struggling, and when there is a widespread lack of beds in thousands of existing wards, this is a priority.
