...but Harris was warmly endorsed by UAW leader Shawn Fain a few weeks ago. And she warmly accepted the endorsement. That's equivalent to Keir Starmer being endorsed by Mick Lynch, which I don't think either would want. It is quite weird. I think this might be partly due to the US being a...

...world list. There is a lot of misinformation out there, peddled by the usual suspects and pandered to by the usual supects (including Keir Starmer). Surely the very least we can all do is attempt to correct that misinformation as and when we have the chance. The idea that doing that while...

i look forward to that day, when he's the subject of a 'whatever became of' column in a newspaper

Keir Starmer.. don't hear about him so much these days

Good article here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/19/riots-keir-starmer-racist-anti-immigration-narratives-truth

This sounds enticing: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/aug/16/no-10-power-struggle-rumours-sue-gray-morgan-mcsweeney Other Labour 'sources' say it's all bullshit :) McSweeney was the one who decided Labour would have no more truck with any form of democracy for Labour party...

You wouldn't have thought being a shitter version of Jonathan Freedland was possible, would you?

i thought his first big mistake (post 4 july) was the winter fuel allowance

Today Martin Kettle's er, forensic political intellect is turned to the important matter of whether Kier Starmer was right to cancel his holiday or not. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/15/keir-starmer-summer-holiday-break-politics Apparently it's his first big...

That's all over the Tory press and comments sections. Starmer is being called Two Tier Keir, because they think the 2-tier policing is against the right.

...way as its Tory predecessors. Health Minister Wes Streeting repeated his previous promises that the NHS would be further privatised. Keir Starmer has made very clear that his priority is extra spending on the military, and that this overrides any legislation to help the poor and needy. This...

Labour has played its part in stoking anti immigrant hatred that is for sure.

Well this just confirms where the responsibility for all this lies :mad: "Violent riots across the UK since Keir Starmer became PM ..." !

...media posts with the timezone they were posted from. It was just after 4am in Texas when Musk reshared a fake post suggesting that Keir Starmer was planning to set up “detainment camps” in the Falkland Islands. Glancing at Musk’s X feed shows him regularly staying up long into the night...

Read the Olusoga piece in Guardian and he puts these riots in context of British history of anti immigrant riots. Which it had been assumed would not happen again. Also that class and race go together. Another article in Guardian puts forward that the knee jerk quick sentencing is making the...

in which case: seriously though if you come across a link of her giving a genuinely impressive speech please post and maybe tag me.

I disagree with your characterisation of Clinton as vacuous, she's an extremely well-educated and competent lawyer and is quite astute and capable, politically. Ultimately and unfortunately, however, I suppose Clinton was arguably more Washington DC establishment, she was more 'inside the...

...thanking him for his endorsement, which means something in itself. TBH Harris has surprised me thus far. She's not quite the vacuous Clinton-style (husband or wife) centrist that I had assumed her to be. Imagine Keir Starmer sharing a stage with Mick Lynch and thanking him for his endorsement!

from the other thread: Really heartening. From there though: Now I wonder how widely he's intending to cast that net.
