“There is, of course, no functional difference – at least for the better – between ‘long-time servant of the security state’ and compulsive promise-breaker Starmer’s red-Toryism and the blue version.”

figures took £10,000 gifts from and ahead of tax U-turn: Keir ’s Labour Party backtracked on plan to hike to 10% after being showered with freebies”

by Adam Ramsay in @openDemocracy

“Labour’s shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, his senior parliamentary assistant (who is his wife), and Keir Starmer’s political director all attended Glastonbury festival in June as guests of YouTube, which is owned by Google. Including accommodation and ‘hospitality’, Reynolds estimates his Glastonbury package for two was worth £3,377 – significantly more than the cost of two regular tickets, which were £335 each.

The next day, reports emerged that Labour had ditched its proposal to hike tax on digital businesses like Google.”

@AlexGallagher

Not a very high bar of “leadership” to exceed though, is it?

When Nesrine Malik (in @guardian) describes the system that spewed as one “that indulges useless, morally vacuous politicians as long as they don’t threaten to reshape the economy or political culture” she’s also describing one that is indulging Keir ()

Just read Rafael ’s piece in today’s @guardian: “The Tories are suffering from Dorries syndrome: paranoia steeped in denial”

Behr stood, & still stands (alongside Polly ), at the forefront of those who betrayed & who now lionise the !

He’s describing a party that has run out of ideas, is drowning in its fear of admitting its mistakes & is finding “comfort in pursuit of traitors, scapegoats and in conspiracy theory”.

Yet when you read this ⤵️ paragraph, you’d be hard pressed to know which political party he was describing: @conservatives or @UKLabour - which also has no serious ideas of how to get Britain out of the mess that we’re in!

“A party that dares not incriminate markets in its analysis of unfairness, and that refuses to grasp the levers of tax-and-spend to engineer equal opportunities, looks instead to grievance rooted in culture and identity. That is the appeal of “anti-woke” campaigns.”
