Starmer is behaving badly. But he is not outright attacking the foundations of democracy yet, though he is skirting with it, as shown by recent decisions about declaring terrorist organisations.

But he is. By surreptitiously using Brexit ‘Enabling Act’ powers to hard-wire an illegal US deal into our legal architecture, Starmer is attacking the foundations of democracy. No CRaG, no TAC, no debate just executive diktat.

I would like to disagree as I want to see Starmer as different to his Tory predecessors. But given your arguments that is a more and more difficult case to make.

I am compiling a complaint to commission and going through the details. He is worse than Johnson.
