This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!
Keir Starmer was asked a direct question in the wake of the stabbings on "Golders Green."
Does your wife, from a Jewish family, fear living in this country?
His answer: "I don't want to personalise it to my family."
Let that sit for a moment.
This is a man who has built an entire political persona on personalising everything.
His dad the toolmaker. His mum the nurse. His mum the patient. His wife the NHS worker. His uncle the sailor. His sister the cleaner. The tale of a family sat around a table struggling to pay a telephone bill.
Every speech, every pitch, every moment of manufactured connection anchored in the same family, rotated on cue.
But when a journalist asks a plain, human question, one that tests whether any of that means anything, suddenly it's too personal.
You can’t have it both ways.
You don't get to trade on your family when it softens your image, then retreat behind abstraction when the question cuts too close.
That's not dignity. It's not even discretion. It's the instinct of a man who has spent so long performing authenticity that he's forgotten what it actually requires.
Authenticity, when it matters, costs something.
And in that moment, when asked plainly, he stepped back from the very ground he’s spent years standing on.
Happen, his handlers have not told him his position yet...
