Crises blamed by Starmer for our troubles:
'financial crash, austerity, Brexit, Covid, the Ukraine war and Liz Truss'
One is clearly a national mistake that we can reverse
We should start negotiating to rejoin the EU immediately

"If leaving the ECHR is meant to be about booting out criminals, it will have the reverse effect and it will make it easier for criminals to come to the country. Just like Brexit, it's going to backfire. Remember, with Brexit, immigration was meant to go down, and trade".
My most recent performance with the “Hate Dress” for Eduxo.eu - European Network for Democracy and Equality’s event countering violence against women at the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels.
