How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social what I really struggle with is he must know this. He’s not daft. Yet he does it again and again…

On what evidence are you basing this wild claim that Starmer isn’t daft?

@rachel @georgemonbiot.bsky.social At some point you have to conclude that if it's not...

"Ignorant enough of history to believe you can appease the far right"

... then the remaining option is...

"Perfectly comfortable with far-right ideas"

@rachel @georgemonbiot.bsky.social What he says he is, and the "Labour" in his title are both false. What he DOES is true. (He obeys).

You need to look at who is behind Starmer. Blair, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Mandelson.

reform UK: focussed evil
conservatory: dithering evil
labour: dithering de facto evil
UK greens: untested benign

all brits need do is test a benign government and they'll see their problems actually get solved. but as a group they prefer being impoverished, complicit with genocide, taking commands from people who lie constantly.

@ledbin aha so that "bsky.social" thing does not let the users see replies to their toots?

if so, it makes sense. thanks for pointing it out.

I'm not troubled by it though, and my correct usage won't change in response to somebody else's missing features. after all, I'd much rather you or other thoughtful people see my thoughts than even the original author.

I am thinking more and more should block the blue sky dimension of suffering so I dont confuse corporate servants with free people. 🌻

Don't be angry at labour, social democrats, conservatives and (neo-)liberals here in Germany are doing the exact same thing.

My personal hypothesis is that they or their aides/consultants are too terminally online, but only on bot infested platform, so they have absolutely no idea how the populace actually thinks. Thanks, Putin, I guess.

Starmer isn't on our side. It's getting more and more obvious. There's not much further right you can go than dismantling human rights. And pandering to the US, is at this moment in time, an obvious clue as to where his loyalties lie.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social I've said it before that Starmer's Labour government appears to be copying the tactics used by the Tories during the period of many Prime Ministers of chasing the far right in order to block out Nigel's various parties. I fully expect it to end just as well for Labour as it did for the Tories. The hope is that parties that aren't stupid get some representation, the fear is that includes Nigel's current lot.

By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.

Keir Stalinist Starmer and Vance friend Lammy are assisting trump.

its called the special relationship in action.

Disgusting traitorous racist boneheads.
