What was the role of our next prime minister in the persecution of Julian Assange? There is a cover-up going on. But it will come out. Trust. @kennardmatt X Declassified UK ✌️☮️ Labour is on track to win big, risking an elective dictatorship under Keir Starmer, who could be unchecked in his power. Our strategy is simple: Keep the good ones: Vote for MPs who have a track record of supporting Palestinian rights (see our scorecard section). By keeping them in the party, we ensure there are voices to counterbalance Starmer’s dominance and keep him in line. Vote out the bad ones: We've analysed who is best placed to beat Labour in each constituency. By voting strategically for Greens, Lib Dems, Independents, or others, we can reduce Labour’s majority and prevent one-party dominance. Please visit https://lnkd.in/ek9vW2Ky

I am a floating voter. I have been trying to work out what it is about Mr Starmer and his version of the Labour Party that makes me feel so uneasy. He, and they, are making me very uneasy. I think it’s this. A former Director of Public Prosecutions, he has spent his entire life forensically taking apart what others have done wrong and making sure they pay the maximum penalty. Most of us avoid doing anything criminal, but we all of us make mistakes, the more active we are the more mistakes we make. If you avoid doing anything you avoid mistakes and pay for the lack of mistakes with the lost opportunity of progress. If the only “change” being proposed, and let’s face it we are not being told much about what Labour would do in power, is the elimination of mistakes, I do not anticipate any real change in growth. If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. The country is clear, it’s had enough of the Conservatives for the time being. The worry is, giving a life-long fault-finder a landslide majority, only boxing himself in with what he will not do, and without ever setting out what he will do, we are placing our trust in anything other than change. More of the same, different colour. To that extent, I’m leaning towards the Scottish National Party. -Just shows, you can talk yourself into some really daft choices!

Better a center-left Labor Party than greater Far-Right breaches to #UK #democracy. As Europe's leading nations #Germany and #France become challenged with the rise of Alt-Right fascism across the #EU, Brits should feel proud that they still can carry the banners of moderate politics in Europe.
