If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
French President Emmanuel Macron pulls off what could be the greatest diplomatic troll of all time by getting Trump to sign the "$300 Billion US Surrender to Iran" deal in... Versailles. The ignoramus Trump will have been clueless as to the historical significance of the location
@Eng_china5 Figures... only way the USA can win anything is by cheating.
Blocking entry to staff & referees, stealing opponents kit. Their boss is a crook, legitimises the rest of you hicks.
@dklineii Most importantly in these times of rising costs.... when evey other company is paying 5-10k more per annum for the same role, but you get 'i don't think there's money in the buget' this year...
Whilst the billionaire owned right wing media works itself into a frenzy, they'll never ever show us this, because it hurts their money masters. #Starmer#Labour
Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?
Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?
Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?
It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.
Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence.
This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources.
Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally.
Solidarity with the Venezuelan people 🇻🇪
#Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Control over these resources remains a primary driver of both domestic power struggles and international interest.
This is zero to do with drugs, or removal of authoritarian regime.
Its the USA going after oil, again.
Gary Lineker, "I actually think that 80-90% of the country just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours"
"They don't look at people of different religions, skin colours, beliefs, traits, and think badly of them"
"I think we're divided deliberately to distract"
Concur on all accounts - most people just want to live and get on with life, if only our politicians created a stable and ambitious enough approach to life so we could do that, without having to call out their repeated and monumental short-failings

My wife is recovering from major surgery. We are supposed to be visiting tonight for the 2 pints podcast.
Is there anyone I can contact to arrange assistance, so far I've spent 30 minutes trying to find a way on the atg site, but keep going in circles.
