Lucky for Starmer most people have forgotten his 10 pledges he made when running for Labour leader, given he's abandoned so many, including: free movement, higher income tax for top 5%, higher corporation tax, abolish UC, common ownership of rail/mail/energy and water, no more NHS outsourcing, etc.

I really dislike the people who were once strong supporters of Remain, but who now try to convince themselves and others that Brexit's OK - indeed inevitable - because the alternative is to admit that Labour are screwing up badly.
It's the tribalism that gets to me.

Another deeper level of rotten scumbaggery from Trump.
At some point Starmer is going to have to stop triangulating and call him out for the monster he is.
(Yes, Starmer has expressed very strong support for Ukraine. But he has also been at great pains not to criticise Trump - unlike EU leaders.)
