I think we are going to get that a lot in the near future. The words Liz Truss and no-brainer in the same sentence.

I went back to Oliver Eagleton's book, Starmer only got his Bachelor of Law in 1985, assuming it was summer 85, the strike ended months beforehand. He could certainly represent striking miners pro bono if he wasn't a qualified practising solicitor.
'Labour must go from protest into power - then hand power to working people'
Writing exclusively for the Sunday Mirror, Labour Leader Keir Starmer says he supports the right to strike - and that his support went beyond "sentiment and a photo opp - I backed up my words with action"www.mirror.co.uk

Boris Johnson is planning to fill the Lords with his cronies and legitimise bribery | Gordon Brown
The honours system is rife with abuse and a paper by Lynton Crosby’s firm suggesting ‘rewards’ for compliant peers proves it, says former prime minister Gordon Brown

I also see she wants to ban union reps from using facilities time. She really is promising a huge attack on working rights as well as wages

I wondered whether she'd forgotten that even though Tory members are the voters she's concerned with, the rest of the country can hear anyway.

People think new = different. She (and the Tories) will get a short term bounce in the polls and she'll soon fall behind once she starts opening her mouth and people realise she's just as bad as Boris without the funny hair and shit banter.

Liz Truss dismissal of ‘attention seeker’ Sturgeon will horrify Scots, says SNP
Tory activists cheered leadership favourite when she said first minister should be ignored
The blokes a dangerous idiot and that type of interview is exactly why a lot of the country could never have voted for him whatever the alternative was.
He talks as if Russia is also an injured party and various people haven’t tried to negotiate with Putin ?! Also no mention of the war crimes and the rape and killing of civilians.

She can’t help herself. I’d be worried there would be worse to come if/when she wins

Really? You can't honestly think that's perfectly fine yet think Starmer is unelectable because he said some things about strikes.

Stop deflecting and answer the question. There must be something in the 2 minute clip you found offensive, or are you just piling on the centrist dad outrage because it’s happening on Twitter.
I have my own opinions on what he has said in the clip which I’ll share but let’s hear what you actually think.

Dangerous idiot for making the point that weapons do not promote peace and just prolong war.
How is it deflecting? You think Starmer is unelectable for whatever reasons yet are seemingly fine with what Corbyn says there.
The whole clip is a shambles from start to finish.
Firstly he's appearing on a pro Russian channel that parrots Russian propaganda. (plus it's pro Assad and pro Hezbollah).
Then he says Ukrainian citizens and Russian soldiers are comparable.
No mention of Ukrainian soldiers.
Says we should not arm Ukraine.
Says the only way to resolve it is sit down for peace talks.
Says Africa has no economical interests in Russia or Ukraine.
It's fucking awful from start to finish. I don't know how anyone could defend that and then say Starmer is unelectable.

Firstly I never said I defended it, you just assume that.
The clip is 2 mins long, but I assume it was longer…..interestingly whatever question he was asked has been cut out
He didn’t compare Ukraine citizens with Russian soldiers he said ‘young conscripted Russians soldiers’ I guess his implication here is against their choice but I agree that it’s a comparison that shouldn’t have been made.
Africa has no economic gain from war, but does gain from peace in terms of food supply.
In terms of peace - what do you propose then, because we’re 8 months in - no closer to a solution and everyone appears to have stopped caring.

The original tweet came from Nick Reeves #FBPA #FBPE #PATH Ukrainian flag in bio - huge red flag if you ask me
I'm not extrapolating anything. He literally says those things.
