Very effective from Starmer here imo. Tone lower, slower, sombre. Direct contrast to Farage's hyped-up, over-blown, self-important, strutting. And the final devastating finger point at Farage with "it shows exactly who he is" ringing out in a silent Commons.

Starmer to Farage: "His response has been to appeal for rage. Rage. That’s his response to a father who's lost his son and asked for this not to happen. To do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is.” www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-s...

It’s a shit business

Starmer urges calm as far right seeks to exploit Henry Nowak murder

"He said: 'We don't like it,but we have to go along with it.'"

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Hitchens fails to address that Phillips is a pro-Russian propagandist, literally partied with occupying forces in Ukraine, denied war crimes, and filmed tortured POWs, and proudly received medals from Russian backed military groups for his efforts.

"Good news, boss: the dodgy money stories aren't cutting through!"

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

"Only the Greens can actually counter Reform UK" doesn't actually stand up when you look at the local election results there just 3 weeks ago Never bettered a distant 3rd anywhere & Reform took every seat And this constituency isn't Gorton & Denton Still, the call & its consequences are theirs

He's correct, and it's all very promising, but he has to be elected first before he can be pressured to deliver any of this.

"We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us" Greens: "Yeah, nah."
