"One wonders if Westminster etiquette prevents Goodall from even considering the unpalatable alternative, which is that Starmer hasn’t improved people’s lives because he doesn’t want to, and the above gaffes show his instincts when in power are conservative"

@naefool@mastodon.scot The thing is, #Starmer's whole career since entering parliament has been a series of cynical lies. The claim that #Corbyn was antisemitic was a cynical lie. The left wing platform on which Starmer campaigned for the leadership was a cynical lie. The election campaign was a cynical lie. It's not clear whether they were Starmer's cynical lies, or whether he was McSweeney's willing glove-puppet. But now he's lost his puppet master, there's nothing left.
