Well, there goes Keir Starmer. It’s never been clear exactly what he stood for, except for a fixation on cracking down on the protest rights he used to defend when he was a lawyer. We’re not sure what’s coming next – but we’ll be there to hold the government to account.

Bit harsh, all he proved is that a decent man can't be in charge amongst the nest of vipers. On balance the right decision but he was making progress (albeit slowly) it's easy to forget the utter shitshow he inherited

He actively fought some attempts to make progress (e.g. lifting the two child benefit cap) and made things worse in many other areas. If Farage or a facsimile ends up in No 10, they'll be grateful for everything Starmer did to make our government more authoritarian.

It's always seemed very clear what he stood for: The State of Israel. Whether in his foreign policies, in his authoritarian clamp-down on our rights of protests, or his refusal to act in defence of kidnapped and imprisoned British subjects, Starmer has always behaved as the Member for Tel Aviv.
