In two years I have gone from being a @UKLabour member, CLP Executive member, and giving up many hours of free time to get them elected, to hoping they lose every seat they stand for. I am a moderate, calm and thoughtful person. This is what @Keir_Starmer has done.

As I watch the country sink, I don’t hate the Tories any more than I did before. But I become increasingly sure that I will not vote for the @UKLabour leadership, who enabled this to happen, and the liar @Keir_Starmer who was elected promising to make the moral case for socialism

Claiming that legal protest is illegitimate, and has to be stopped because politicians feel ‘intimidated’ is one of the biggest threats to our fundamental freedoms in a generation. It’s one of the clearest signs of rising fascism and @Keir_Starmer is one of its main sponsors.
