It doesn’t work in the UK, which is supposed to be tolerant and liberal.

Look at the GOV.UK Stats from London, 40% of London Muslims would endorse Sharia Law. This is lunacy.

When I met my partner, she was not politically active and her only interraction with a local MP was being helped with a housing issue after a single email to Corbyn. She was convinced by his response that MPs were grossly and unfairly villified. When we moved in together we were in Iain Duncan Smith's constituency and she quickly realised Corbyn was an outlier. Good local MPs are few and far between and I imagine Islinton North will be turning grey on the map in a couple of months.

Sir Keir Starmer was from a working class background who worked himself all the way to the top as a barrister, Corbyn was born and raised in a manor in Shropshire, was privately educated and he has never done a days work in his life.

[@Lu_14_05]

@@stevenpaulgoulding talking about values, Starmer’s got third way socialist policies that draw some parallels to the policies of Blair, who was a famously a man who barely ever mentioned the word socialism. Starmer can be working class but his policies are very much diet Tory policies, to just push a view based on someone’s policies is where someone lives is disingenuous and it is this kind of attitude that doesn’t allow for critical thinking and brainwashes the public into believing that things like BREXIT were good for the common man, highlighted by the fact that there’s a great majority of BREXIT voters who blamed direct immigration from South Asia on the EU, which in itself sounds stupid even thinking about it. Getting back to the debate Starmer’s only traditional labour policy was his green energy plans and he has now pushed back on that so yes the original statement is true Corbyn is more labour than Starmer, it’s quite simple tbf that a party with traditional democratic social t policies draws more paralels with someone with traditional democratic socialist policies rather than someone with policies with Blair’s new labour, which isn’t traditional labour, which the original comment was arguing about

I never liked Starmer and would never vote for him, but his stance on Gaza has proven to me that he's actually a dangerous person to be in power as a coward with no moral convictions. He's very similar to Boris Johnson in this respect, but lacks the wit.

[@timonsolus]

I respect Starmer for his stance on Gaza. He was focused on a practical outcome in Gaza (achieving a ceasefire), not simply on making Labour Party members feel slightly better. It's very easy to call for a ceasefire when you don't have any real power to make it happen. Starmer understands that the UK in general, and the Labour Party in particular, has very little influence on Netanyahu and his extreme right wing Israeli government. Simply put, Netanyahu has no interest in listening to anything that Starmer (or Sunak) have to say on Gaza. So Starmer believed that the UK should coordinate its stance on Gaza with that of the EU. The UK's voice alone counts for very little in Israel, but the UK's voice added to that of the EU will be heard and taken much more seriously. Brexit Britain is too isolated and insignificant to achieve anything internationally by itself.

[@AK-np4rp]

​@@timonsolusYou think it's sensible to support collective punishment.

[@timonsolus]

@@AK-np4rp : Strawman. I said no such thing. I’m saying that it’s best for the UK to follow the EU’s lead on international issues. The UK has no international credibility as an independent nation, due to the Brexit disaster. You’re saying that Starmer should have called for a immediate ceasefire earlier, just to make people in the UK feel better - even though you know it wouldn’t have saved 1 single life in Gaza.
