Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
I know what you’re thinking. The biggest majority in a generation. A historic landslide, a singular mandate, zero organised opposition. How is it even possible for me to fuck this up?
Refill your popcorn. You’ll love this next part.

>completely destroys the labour party
>resigns
what was bro doing any of this for
This is how you push through universally unpopular legislation. You start with attacks on groups most people don't care about (sex workers), under the guise of something many support (protecting kids). Then you keep increasing the heat until the frog sits in boiling water.
Starmer: We want to digitally ID everyone who uses social media
Brits: Absolutely Not!
Starmer: OK then, we want to ban under 16s from social media (by digitally ID-ing everyone)
Brits: OMG that’s a great idea. Idk what idiot would be against that 🥴
The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this.
What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.
