I heard that, pardon?
If a failed PM was all that is required he had a couple of those in his own party. Those trade deals will just come flowing in.

“We all now feel that with the direction being taken by the leadership towards a more neo-liberal stance it is right the executive baton should be handed over to those that share the direction of the leadership.
“We will remain supportive members of the party but it would be doing an injustice to the wonderful membership if we continued in our roles half-heartedly.”
The left of the party have a long way to go before they can match the right’s tone of pissy entitled resentment.
If anyone needs coaching in that department my services are available.

Starmer comes out swinging...

... against, errm, climate protestors.
Moral cowardice.
The irony is it won't do him any good. When the time comes, the far-right press will screw him over anyway (assuming he sticks with anything to the left of Blair), no matter how much he tries to appease them.

Makes you weep - he'd dissociate himself from his own kids if he thought it would help his cause

This is like when Miliband posed for a photo holding up The Sun. Murdoch went really easy on him after that so this will definitely work.

Has Starmer said anything that the right wing press hasn’t said first?

Remember that video where he boasted about his role in the Wapping strike?

What about 'Stop Funding Hate'? Doesn't this also aim to de-fund the media because it disagrees with its approach. Are you opposed to that, too?
How is this relevant to Extinction rebellion?
Advertisers will pull content from titles if it has a negative effect on their brand. I work on the other side of the fence & know how seriously some advertisers take this.

I think it's a different argument, but far-right snowflakes like Andrew Neil are against SFH too:

Puts the endless noise about "woke cancel culture" in perspective.

It's worth noting that neither Keir Starmer nor Priti Patel have condemned this:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...s-brought-to-a-standstill-by-far-right-groups
Whereas both were quick to speak out against yesterday's climate protest.
Meanwhile, Diane Abbott has defended the right to peaceful protest in connection with both incidents.

I think the question is, Is it possible to disagree with XR’s tactics without reinforcing the nonsensical, bad faith arguments currently being used against you by right wing sh-tbags. A free press, FFS.

as somone else has noted, we would need to have a free press in the first place, before anyone could attack it
