Pot meet kettle

He's pumping public money into private carbon capture scams and nuclear power.

to be fair i think it should be read in the tone of a necromancer taunting their victim. it makes sense then. 💀

Other cretins being wrongly appointed doesn't make this appointment okay!

Starmer's Labour is part of the right, but even if it wasn't, the right will always want to sabotage govt when not in power. Does that mean we can never hold a PM to account? When is the correct time?

Almost everything on that list comes with a giant asterisk behind it.

Some are weak to the point of uselessness, some are deliberately concealing what's been done with weaselly language, and some are just lies.

Meanwhile Labour are persecuting minorities and bowing to the demands of corporations.

Trump is bombing Iran from UK airbases and UK planes are intercepting Iranian missiles. We're definitely at war!

What about her do you think is a problem? Other than her apparently bad taste in men lol

I don't think these are cheap shots. It's recognising that a man with no principles who lies constantly is a dangerous man to have as PM.

Starmer is actively working against all the things the Greens stand for and it makes perfect sense to draw attention to that.

When is the time, though? What else will we all have to suffer through? Because he's not going to change.

Aye, hopefully it'll lead to something more substantive soon.

Starmer has anti genocide protesters arrested in big batches under misused anti-terrorism legislation. It's in the news all the time - if you keep an eye out there will probably be another incident soon.

Probably not, but when a tyrant is using your airspace without authorisation to bomb schools in another country as part of an illegal war then you have further grounds to build solidarity with Europe to resist US imperialism more effectively.

We've seen historically that appeasement is dangerous.

I can understand that, for example, "peace in the middle east" is something complicated to achieve.

But Starmer is actively participating. It's worse than doing nothing. We can't do nuance if we're still helping blow up hospitals.

And we do have some sway - deny our airspace to the US!

A pretty wild flower, possibly some sort of brassica. It has lovely pale pink flowers amongst some wonky green stems.

A mostly bare tree branch with beautiful bunches of yellow flowers erupting from the tips. A great swathe of fresh comfrey leaves in the background.

Cow parsley! Fern-like leaves topped with wide, flat bunches of tiny white flowers. Also some sort of wee beastie up at the top.

A mix of wild plants including comfrey and ground ivy, and possibly young cow parsley. The ground ivy has lovely purple flowers in intricate orchid-like shapes.

Growth won't give us any money to pay anyone anything.

The growth occurs in the assets of the rich, not us. They decide what happens to it, and letting it trickle down is the last thing on their list.

They haven't started it though

GB Energy funnels public funds into private energy and construction firms and doesn't even retain full ownership of what's built.

We give FF companies money to run carbon capture scams that only profit them.

We give EDF money to build Sizewell C which we don't need.

Alternatively we could invest in public services. We could, for example, build a nationalised renewable energy network so people weren't constantly paying huge sums to private energy corps.

That actually helps people instead of just handing money to the rich bastards who stole everything.

Growth occurs in the private sector though. The same people who the Tories favoured. Their stolen assets are increasing in value, but they still have them, and the return in tax is paltry.

It doesn't trickle down, it doesn't help real people, and it doesn't help with debt.

But so many things Starmer is failing at don't require nuance.

The genocide in Gaza isn't debatable; Starmer doubled down on it as PM.

Trump's war on Iran is illegal: Starmer supports it.

Palantir is part of the US neofascist cult; Starmer does business with it.

He chose to do these things!

Yeah, I agree it's not simple, but Starmer isn't trying. We're literally hosting bombers committing war crimes! We don't have to do that.

Carbon capture was made up by FF companies so they could keep polluting & get extra money from subsidies! It's a scam. It was never mean to work.

Capitalism is ruinous, I totally agree, but 'growth' is literally what capitalism is about. Focusing on it is giving the richest exactly what they want.

What centre left policies have they actually implemented though?

The renter & employment reforms were watered down to the point of uselessness due to corporate lobbying, and the benefit cap lift had to be beaten out of them. Meanwhile they're persecuting minorities and having lunch with lobbyists.

It may be your opinion but it's not based in evidence, and it's hurting people.

Would you have had 'concerns' about me back during section 28? Would you have advocated for me to be barred from public life as a deviant who preys on children?

It's the same baseless, evil hate pushed at trans folks.

Back during section 28 the government accepted the advice of bigots that being gay was harmful.

Gay teachers were targeted by hate groups and accused of being groomers and paedophiles.

All of that was nonsense, but I'm still dealing with the scars left by section 28.

This is the same thing.

Thanks for the correction 👍 given how obsessed they are with the review I forgot that it's not actually theirs lol

Appeasing far right lunatics like Trump doesn't work though. They always demand more and more concessions. If that was Starmer's motivation then he's not suited to act as PM in a world dominated by Trump.

"Growth" is just capitalists having more of the money. It's trickle down economics. It's not more money in our pockets.

Labour are funding carbon capture projects and pushing for more oil and gas in the north sea, making things worse.

I agree this is a Tory legacy, but Labour are continuing it.

We have to accept that Labour isn't currently a left wing party. They are more similar to the Tories than they are to the Greens.

That's something we should all be furious about, but in the mean time we have to hold them to account when they do bad shit.

If Greens were in govt I'd say the same!
