As I am losing all faith in the future I am going to just do this thread today and try to stay off social media for the rest of the day. Yeah, I know. Fat chance.
THis one is a series of bullet train points on
Why I don't trust @Keir_Starmer
--->
-->
🚅Connived at downfall of Corbyn
🚅Has since ejected Jews for supporting Corbyn
🚅Ran away during the last GE campaign
🚅Abandoned the ten pledges he began his leadership with
🚅Replaced them with 5 promises of such vagueness as to constitute no promise at all
-->
-->
🚅Failed to support @Ianblackford_MP in call for a VoNC in this govt early on in Covid response
🚅Failed to criticise the govt's profiteering or their response to Covid - (too proud to get medical advice?)
🚅I could break the previous 🚅 down but that's another thread
-->
-->
🚅Won't support PR
🚅Will not commit to Rejoin
🚅Will not commit to kicking profiteers out of NHS or rewind Tory scams in NHS
🚅Refuses to renationalise Water, utilities
🚅Fails to compare above to EU services
🚅Will not make HE free again
🚅No commitment to windfall tax
-->
-->
🚅No criticism of the shit in rivers
🚅Let the Anti-Protest bill pass the HoL with inane justifications
🚅Made @AngelaRayner apologise for calling the CON fascists "scum". An adept politician could have turned that into an attack
🚅Condemns Hamas but not Israel
-->
@AngelaRayner -->
🚅 Asked if Corbyn would have been better than Johnson, he attacked Corbyn. He could have said "He could NOT have been worse" and proceeded to attack Johnson's record. He did NOT
🚅 He has missed so many open goals that he seems complicit
Until about a year ago I was

I was supportive of the argument many will counter my arguments with, i.e. that we need to get the Tories out.
But because of the above I think Starmer will be another Blair, promising: unspecified jam at some unspecified future time, that NEVER comes.
LAbour partysans
-->
@AngelaRayner -->
will point out that Blair years were far better than the current kleptocracy. Granted. But what Tory privatisations/scams/ideological choices did he undo?
What's that you say?
But, but , but , but, but ...
Yeah precisely.
-->
@AngelaRayner -->
And he made schools and NHS WORSE, furthering privatisation in both.
"But we have to win to do anything" you may whine.
I hope you will think back to this thread ten yrs hence when having won he has done NOTHING to undo the fascism.
Why am I so vehement?
-->
@AngelaRayner -->
Because Starmer doesn't need to pander to the far right to beat this worst of all known UK governments but he's doing it anyway.
Because he is using rhetoric that could come from a Tory maw.
But mostly the betrayal of the NHS and failure to oppose.
That'll do pig. That'll do
