President Trump is in the UK. If he leaves without Keir Starmer sending the message that Israeli government's genocide will not be tolerated it will be a failure of leadership. The UK must not stand by. Not in our name.

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. š§µ

I don't see why they are so afraid of taxes. Even a 1% rise in tax on the rich (say over £150k pa) would be enough to lift EVERYONE out of poverty. The reason people are SO disaffected is the huge growing gap between the haves and the have nots.
