We knew Starmer was a toxic bigot when he let Natalie Elphicke join Labour. That was him telling us who he really was. *Before* the election but people wilfully ignored it.

I think it's simpler than this. This isn't a tactical miscalculation. Labour is giving us the policies it - to the extent it believes in anything - believes in.

🚨🚨Yes, we all knew that the poor trade deal with the US was a result of the EU being extremely frightened about the prospect of US dropping military and intelligence support to Ukraine. It, however, seems to drag out some inevitable choices for Europe in terms of collective defense and security. 🧵

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.

Archive screenshot from the Sex Matters website reading: “Tim Allan Trustee Tim Allan’s career has spanned working as a senior advisor in 10 Downing Street for Tony Blair, running corporate communications for BSkyB and founding a communications consultancy, Portland, which grew into one of the most highly regarded global reputation-management consultancies. Since selling Portland, he has become an investor in the communications consultancy sector.”

Also worth noting that Germany had to change its flag after their Far Right were dealt with. England should lose its flag for failing to tackle Fascism.

So by this reasoning people should be able to reclaim the Swastika as a symbol of rebirth and spirituality? Or maybe as a penalty for tolerating Fascist scum for too long England has to lose its flag? Because this hasn’t come out of nowhere. England has had a Fascism problem for decades.

However you can bet there’s some Centrist trying to reclaim the Swastika from the Nazis.

So you want Mosques to fly the flag of the genocidal cruscades. Were you educated in England? That would explain your cultural ignorance.

Labour will still move the pension age up again though, to ensure they can still work us to death for their wealthy donors.
