A change of administration is probably her only hope now, The courts have agreed time and again that stripping her of her citizenship was legal (whether it was just or fair is a different argument). But like you I don't think a Starmer led government is any more likely to be more generous. Still...

...boards and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Begum's main hope of re-entering the UK lies in a change of administration. However, Keir Starmer, a KC so presumably with some knowledge of the legal system, is also on record as saying that her deprivation was not unlawful, so that could...

I'm not sure I agree with everything in this piece, but the issue that is Gaza most certainly hasn't gone away: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/feb/26/faultine-keir-starmer-politics-gaza-labour

My local Labour Council had a good bunch of LD Cllrs. Who were commited to the local area and hardworking Cllrs. Due to Nick Clegg they all lost their seats. ( Tuition fees and disastrous coalition with Tories.) Point is at times national issues will affect local elections. Even if it is...

Cleverly here suggesting that constituents shouldn't be allowed to tell off the MPs representing them if it's a er ... mob ... (definition pending) on public land in their constituency who happen to be within earshot of their representative's house. I'm left wondering who taught him what...

It appears that some (mostly) Labour MPs who didn't vote for a ceasefire last time received threats, and the fear was that this would happen again (that's the claim, anyway). Interesting point made by a Tory MP Tory MP: 'Unacceptable' to use extremist threats to change democracy

Quotes from a Telegraph article on Galloway (he's spoken to their podcast)

...war-time horrors. The mystery is where is the Church of England/Anglican Church in all this. My reading is that Dr Welby is doing a Keir Starmer and keeping his head down - and forcing his minions to do so also - with an iron fist. Jerusalem is an embarrassment to Welby for factional...

The acceptance of the Labour amendment is now being justified by concerns about MPs' safety MPs' safety at heart of Gaza vote row Except that in the end they didn't actually vote, so no MP can now claim to have voted for a ceasefire anyway edited to add link

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/21/how-keir-starmer-averted-gaza-ceasefire-vote-crisis The whole sordid affair summarised. Speaker was definitely leant on. Starmer visited him personally. Backbench Labour MPs were not happy with the wording on the amendment. To many caveats in...

Any party leadership that did this could never be trusted to form a government; the government already has an excessive amount of power with regards to scheduling but pushing the Speaker around in this way would quickly end what remains of Commons independence. It is exactly what people like...

If anyone is guilty of politicking over this its the Labour party leadership. Utter contempt for them. Definitely not voting Labour.

Yeah, he's so ordinary, we're told (but no, not boring!) and all the working class people taking the piss out of him don't actually exist.

Jesus, that was a big photo.

Oh ffs, don't read this article unless you have a sick bag to hand. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/21/the-hidden-life-of-keir-starmer Anyone mocking Sir Keith is apparently a "snob"...

'The fighting must stop', eh? But what fighting?? There's no fighting I can see, just an army massacring civilians, who are running away. 'The massacre must stop', he should have said. "Fighting" ffs.
