"Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point"
Streeting said he found Israel’s decision to break the Gaza ceasefire “soul-destroying”, and insisted the attacks do not “serve in Israel’s self-interest and cannot be justified as self-defence”, adding: “It has got to stop.”
It must be a cold down there in hell, because I have to give Streeting credit here.
Reflecting on the government’s unpopular decision to cut disability benefits and foreign aid, Streeting urged Labour’s critical friends to “cut us some slack”.
No, stop killing disabled people.
Put your two quotes together and you get: "let's issue a statement from the least likely person condemning Isreal so we don't look so bad over/distract from the welfare cuts."
Also, the money being made from arms sales has plateaued so it's time to call and end to at least one war. Small print: "No souls have been harmed in the making of this statement".
So no credit given from me! Just another day in politics.
israel should just say they're only killing trans and queer people then wes would be okay with it
Starmer's gonna be big mad
Tel Aviv Keith will make sure he "clarifies" his "misunderstood" comments by tea time.
It's almost as if now he has the health brief.... he doesn't want it 😆.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
