There are (at least) three groups of voters whom #Starmer is alienating with his continued tacit support for the #GazaGenocide:

1. A majority of Muslims;
2. A substantial number of Jews;
3. A much broader community of people with a strong commitment to human rights and an ethical foreign policy.

These groups are not individually electorally significant, but taken together they may be.

"Brexit was in fact certain to go wrong, because it was based on false premises. Countries cannot be fully sovereign in trade, since it involves at least one counterpart. Thus, the rules of the single market were created because the alternative was multiple different regulatory regimes and so costlier (and smaller) trade"

Bummer. Seems the supply of genuine English cheddar in the US has finally dried up. NONE in my local stores. Irish and Australian (prevalent) are good, as are some American cheddars, but to my taste not the same. Another #Brexit fail

I can’t move on from the Porsche 356 and the 356-powered Fletcher Flair and 597 Jagdwagen without featuring the Porsche 912. The 912 had the same body as the 911, but used the 356’s four cylinder engine instead of the 911’s six, and was initially the better-selling car. Snapped at #TechnoClassica in 2013 - the engine shot is from a second 912 at the same event. Both cars were reimports to Germany from the US, and were on sale for about €30K. Bargain. #Porsche #WeirdCarMastodon #davidsdailycar
