tbf, Sunak used to work with criminals. He used to live next door to one when he lived at number 11.

[@diceman199]

What do you mean "used to" work with them? Fairly sure he still does.....

[@EthanKristopherHartley]

He was also in with the crowd that crashed the economy in 2007/8. Bunch of bankers the lot of 'em! 😁

[@dominicg11]

Tories have all the best attack lines for KS - buying his mother land for a donkey sanctuary, saving a dog from being put down, and now working for free fighting against the death penalty. How anyone could vote for someone of such obvious dubious moral standing is beyond me? 🤣

Morals??? Not starmer. Listen to attacks on SNP and Scotland's services. Disgusting, zero morals. Says a lot about you when you support such a scumbag

[@Demun1649]

@@cupguin The reason it is unforgivable is that the profit is not going into an offshore account to avoid paying tax. Rule 13,684; You will avoid paying tax, if not, you can't join our party. Rule 13,685; You will have a great accountant ho can ensure that you will always have spare cash, and a supply of plain, brown envelopes, in order to pass on your donations to the party, never less than 25% of your monthly income. Always use the same contact, and observe the "cell system of deniability".

[@bonariablackie4047]

What the Tories are REALLY upset about is the fact that Starmer has a work ethic, has good policies given the constraints caused by 14 years of total disaster, and has not only a moral compass, but values too. The Tories can't stand that. They believe in greed, arrogance, abject incompetence, cruelty, racism xenophobia and culture wars because they have failed the country in every conceivable way, and dog whistle culture wars is all they have left.

[@CffYT]

I mean they should just play this on the main news channels. Scarily accurate and the fact this is even a story shows how far we've fallen.

Fabulous Matt.❤. Love it!? Minister for Innuendo and Dog Whistles . Sounds like a typical Tory.

[@matlew1960]

Imagine if Keir Starmer had represented the accused in the Post Office scandal, and Pro Bono on top. The Tories would run him out of Parliament shouting, "Burn the Witch," at the top of their voices.

[@jamesscott5603]

Yes Another one! Keep em coming Matt - love it!!

[@peterclarke7240]

Sunak really is asking for Keir to point out that, during this period at the cps, Sunak was working as a hedgefunds manager who made millions by deliberately destabilising banks and helping to start the financial crash.

[@schester159]

So, the Conservative's shameful culture wars have started. I assume you've read the Daily Telegraph headline, (likely dictated direct from Downing Street): "Starmer helped free some of UK's most dangerous prisoners" Sunak's plan is to attack Starmer, the former barrister for working as a barrister when he was a barrister, intending to blame Starmer for court rulings presumably reached with a majority judgement of the jury! Adam Wagner, a Barrister himself, interviewed by James O'Brien on LBC, advised that Barristers have very specific responsibilities - so have to take the brief they are given - under their professional code of conduct: "You must not withhold your services or permit your services to be withheld: 1. on the ground the nature of the case is objectionable to you or any section of the public; 2. on the ground that the conduct, opinions or beliefs of the prospective clients are unacceptable to you or to any section of the public." This shameful article by the Telegraph, which is basically a smear campaign and evidence of how desperate the Tories are, further undermines the rule of law.

On a legal level, the main problem with Starmer isn’t him defending criminals or alleged criminals but him fitting up the innocent - Assange being the best example of this.

This totally misses the mark. (🤞I wish)

[@Tulkash01]

There are several lines of attack that would work well for Starmer, like him being a duplicitous and backstabbing liar who betrayed each and every pledge he made in order to get his current position, and then used that power to enact a Stalinist purge against a large number of the people of his own party. Unfortunately for the Tories these kind of arguments don’t work for them because that’s all stuff they agree with.

All accused people have a right to a defence. Get a grip and stop fearmongering fishi rishi.

[@jodders619]

As other's have pointed out there's plenty to criticise Starmer for (taking 'donations' from private healthcare firms and similar). I absolutly can not stand Starmer but representing people in court is not one of my criticisms. His total disregard for honesty in politics however is basis for disliking him.
