Stephen Fry: Why I quit Twitter and why Starmer's first 100 days have been 'disastrous'

Stephen Fry has told LBC that the first 100 days of the Labour government have been "disastrous".
Actor and comedian Fry, 67, told LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr that it was "a mystery that Labour could have allowed themselves to get into this mess."
Fry, who was previously a longtime Labour supporter and even appeared in a party political broadcast in 1993, said Labour's current plight seemed "extraordinary... because you think you're in opposition, you've got a bit of time to get things together."
He explained his reasoning behind leaving his 13 million followers behind on Twitter and leaving the platform, citing Elon Musk as the primary reason.
Fry, who is well-known as a Remainer, also took aim at Brexit. He took Austrian citizenship last month, which he was able to do because of a new rule in the country that allows people whose family was persecuted by the Nazis to become citizens.
He told Andrew: "My grandmother was Austrian and it's partly a finger up to Brexit. Obviously, to have a Schengen group passport is a good thing."

Starmer serves the same foreign and corporate interests as the conservatives and Ursula Von Der Leyen. Ursula Von Der Leyen is also a member of the board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum of which Tony Blair and Putin were once WEF young global leaders under Klaus Schwab.
