I suspect that the only people still planning to vote Tory at the GE are either very rich, very stupid, or still believe in Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy. Same applies to those planning to vote for Trump in November of course.
What Starmer did, by welcoming Elphike into the Labour Party, is to create a massive explosion in the minds of people who've always been entrenched in their tribalist boxes. It demonstrates that everything is now possible, once scales are gone from their eyes. Just Brilliant !
I suspect the Conservative lawyers who might want to go back to the Law are going to be closely watched by the Whips. Especially the ones keenly aware they could be struck off if seen to be too close to the Rwanda nonsense.
Starmer's strategy so far has been nothing short of masterly. Refusing to fight on enemy terms, emasculating attacks by deliberate mirroring of some policies. Taking away ammunition from the Tory press. Sun Tzu is quietly applauding somewhere. Maybe not so quietly, come to think of it.
Starmer will want to hit the ground running, but it'll be a marathon, not a sprint, to coin a phrase. He has a huge job to do, with the help of his Cabinet, to shovel up as much as possible Tory shit aside. Don't have unrealistic expectations. It'll be a big job. Pardon the pun.
Creation of the state of Israel in1948 has been a red rag to many in the area. The history of how that came about includes a lot of British involvement.
The ultimate sanction, the only teeth Biden has to rein in Netanyahu, is to stop arms sales to Israel, which is unusable as a threat, because it would put 9 million Israeli lives at risk, surrounded as they are by enemies. The situation is, always has been, intractable.
To try to smear and blame Biden is stupid at best, infantile in truth.
There seems to be a lot of criticism of Joe Biden on various platforms, about the situation in Gaza. To be clear, no American President in the last 70 odd years could have acted any differently. Biden has gone further to try to rein in Netanyahu than any previous American President.
The situation is down to the evil Netanyahu and his cohort., and to not just 70 years, but at least 2,000 years of the violent history of that region, particularly since the creation of the state of Israel in1948.
