Keir Starmer comments on Golders Green attack raise fears among British Jews

Barry Parmegiana7

The suggestion that all Jews are responsible for Israel's war crimes is a form of blood libel, one pushed relentlessly by our media and governments.

Spot on as usual. George Monbiot has an exceptional journalistic ability of concisely putting into words what I would like to say but struggle to articulate. He would run rings around today’s politicians in a 1:1 debate. Also thanks to George for his support in bringing more attention to ME / CFS

psbaker10.bsky.social2

Agreed, but British Jews (with some honourable exceptions) have largely failed to adequately condemn the Gazan holocaust. This makes it very easy to promote antisemitism. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250626-uks...

Alan Pennie 2

Can't be said too often.

RalfGrahn2

In Israel, proclaimed as a democracy, the voters are responsible for their collective choices, including for apartheid, illegal wars of aggression, war crimes, annexations; rejection of international law, universal human rights, world opinion and humanity.

I prefer Sunday without Laura Kuenssberg

The Crusader Project11

They’re going to come after Bluesky before they go after Musk.

Bill Heywood10

This is an excellent point If the government should take the entire public sector off Xitter

Gareth Ramsay8

Indeed. I believe @heidialexander.bsky.social has posted a grand total of twice on here. Meanwhile daily retweets etc on X.

Jak7

The bigotry is off the charts Starmer is no longer fit to be leader, and Heidi isn't fit to be an MP

Ian Ridley 🔶6

Not just X. Meta's self-policing is not fit for purpose either. Misinformation and hate speech routinely allowed and promoted by the algorithm

Margaret Nelson 🌦6

Those in the Westminster bubble only seem to have a tenuous grasp of reality. Many Jews have joined the protests that Badenoch wants to ban.

Andy Martell5

Maybe if @heidialexander.bsky.social would stop the actual hatred directed at the only Jewish leader of a political party in the uk, she would be positively contributing to fighting antisemitism instead of feeding it? But it’s not about antisemitism is it?… it never was.

Davey / Lexyn5

And why are they not taking X to task on it ?

Ed Wilson4

@heidialexander.bsky.social's first and last post over here

Bridget 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇮🇪4

And @heidialexander.bsky.social has the sum total of TWO posts on Bluesky, both from November 2024. So she's hardly engaging here.

Ben4

Pretty sure they mean the left, Jonathan.

Pascal 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇫🇷3

Because you have to be where voters are? Reach as many people as you can, even in cesspits. (I don't know anyone who's ever heard of Bluesky)

Pervis Purves2

Not to mention both Laura Kuenssberg and the BBC (I believe).

Cyril2

What they are trying to introduce is a catch all law. Say anything against Israel and you'll be arrested. Aren't the Israeli lobby doing a great job.

Blue Tick2

Now that is the best question I have read today. I would like every politician of any colour that claims not to be a Far Right Fascist supporter to be asked that question.

Pwnallthethings143

All of them looking to fix the symptoms and not address the structural problem. Bad solutions look like "let's have a fuel subsidy". Good solutions look like "I will build three multibillion dollar solar farms by the end of the year, and another six next year"

Rosamundi70

I'd hire a plane to fly a banner that says "you can't subsidise demand in a supply crisis, you muppets", but, well, there's a jet fuel shortage incoming.

Mike Cameron11

Quite the change in policy for the Greens, standing up for rights of people to fly by jet to wherever they want.

Peter Taylor10

No, and everyone seems allergic to trade-offs, let alone delivering bad news.

eoinmonkey.bsky.social8

Its pretty simple, really: its been made clear, over and over, that the section of the British public that consistently votes (older, whiter, richer people) can not be told "no" or "you cant have that", ever, about anything. If you want to win elections, you follow this rule.

Volt Beleriand6

i would kinda hope that post-material politics would be unique to my country but the pathogen appears to be widespread

Adam Ramsay5

Isn’t this policy saying “the Iran war means we have less stuff… and the hyper-rich should feel it the most..?

Colin Danby5

Distressing to see the number of replies on that thread find socialist-sounding rhetoric for inaction on global warming.

David Beech5

I keep saying this stuff to mates 'dark clouds approaching' and the like and they look at me like I've gone a little bit mad. I think people *think* they know it's going to be *a bit* bad but actually no I don't think they are prepared. And that's ever political leaders fault as you say.

chelseachemist1.bsky.social4

Arsenal doing the double, spurs escaping the drop. I very much understand it means we have less joy 😔

Jeremy Rogers4

The government response in the major oil supply shocks in the past such as Suez, 1967-8, 1973-4 etc, was to raise duty (or VAT rate) on petrol & diesel not lower it. Plus prepare for rationing at a minimum by stocking up on ration books.

Guy Stallard 4

Quite - it looks like an utterly failing political class. Who speaks honestly or did Brexit in 2016 teach everyone that lying and avoiding trade offs is the recipe for success It’s the opposite in business

Chris Worthing3

Sadly not, Stephen. 5 parties & not one spelling out the awful situation we're in: partly Brexit; partly Trump; & due to our electoral system no one is prepared to change anything in case it goes wrong, so they just carry on phibbing.

Matthew Powell3

No let’s spend our supply before we need it in the Winter cos those evil capitalists???

David3

They don’t understand the principles of the market. If you want to maintain supply, you allow the price to rise to dampen demand as long as the retailers don’t take advantage.Also if you are pushing an Ev agenda you’re going to let prices rise to encourage transformation.

externalyflamey.bsky.social3

More depressingly I think they all understand, and want to try pushing some blame onto ememies. But there is already someone who they can blame who is already unpopular, and actually responsible. PM, FM I understand to an extent (NATO, whisky) but why are people out of power not blaming Trump?

ronit-b.bsky.social3

Isn't grounding private jets exactly the kind of demand destruction we should be doing?

chimpman.bsky.social3

1940, U-boats prowl the North Atlantic, all available cargo vessels are prioritised for essential goods. Churchill… we must subsidise chocolate or the government will fall

depdawginim.bsky.social2

On the plus side, if we all get our holidays cancelled this year then thats a shit ton of money to put into getting solar panels (of course many will put it towards a new fancy petrol car instead).

TMurr2

Amazingly incoherent - perfect examples of when simplistic populist rhetoric (which is apparently the only kind the populace can process) smashes into a pretty simple reality

Howell Harris2

No, not yet. There's an election on, so they can't afford to be either intelligent or honest about this.

Aldous Gray2

They probably do understand but also understand the public will be unable to take the message and will demand an unrealistic response The current government would be slaughtered for talking about it without a miracle solution

TryingMyBest16

Omg are you people actually for real!?

⁸16

He will. You just have to wonder why the billionaire press & their clients are so terrified of Keir Starmer & this Labour Government! Oh.

josurrey.bsky.social14

He's calm in the face of ravings from Trump and attacks on places he used to live and a car he used to drive. The men who set the fires are in court now but this is barely in the media. So yes, personally and politically he's doing a great job.

Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇳 #FBPE9

I’d say Keir Starmer is doing an OK job despite the constraints he places on himself that prevent him from doing a great job. The list is lengthy, Gaza, Israel, EU membership, freedom of movement, safe routes for refugees, making stupid statements about opposing parties, tax the rich, are a few.

Old Man Yao Guai8

He has the majority. He should reform the press. That, and his fucking utterly dog shit comms department are his two biggest problems.

janemick7

wish their communications were a bit better though!

jackmoli.bsky.social6

Don’t they have control of the government? By huge margins? If this is a problem, why not fix it?

vincitamorpatriae.bsky.social6

Propaganda here in the U.S. Won the 2024 Election, along with Oligarch shenanigans (Musk) in Pennsylvania's illegal Lottery he did...Keep the Truth and Facts going in the UK !!!

Dave6

I don't understand why so many people think Labour should have been able to repair the damage of 14 years of the Tories. Perhaps they should just borrow £700 billion (the cost of covid and the Ukraine war oil shock) and spend it on public services

Mr Swell Fella 🌎🇬🇧🇺🇦🇫🇮🇸🇪🇩🇰🇬🇪🇺🇲🌎5

Shame on the press! Too busy kissing Sir Nigel the Grifters ass

chestermarx.bsky.social5

Be careful....(a warning from the US)

Richard Hernaman Allen4

You can complain about the media treatment & recognise that he's done a decent job in some areas (not least given the inheritance). BUT there are policies and mistakes which are driving erstwhile supporters away. He has lost a lot of trust. Ask yourselves: can he recover that trust? And how?

joesoap.bsky.social4

In relative terms compared to the last administration Labour have done an excellent job with the cards they have been dealt. Media have gone for Labour from day one, but it is all trivia and speculation. Endless media narratives on Mandelson and Starmer's resigning have fallen flat with the public.

John Swinney's Smarter Brother2

I wonder if the naysayers are running out of steam and now, finally, turning their attention to Farage and Polanski.

Sarah G2

I’m just so frustrated that they’ve shown such poor planning. They had all that time to think about their strategy and then the first thing they do is muck up the reform of the benefits system and get a whole load of bad press for it. Why didn’t they start with the positives?

Nualaatpeace3

It's quite alarming how standards have dropped, both in Government and National Broadcasting (which we pay for) It sets the standards by which all others follow. Look no further than the BBC and Gbnews. Our complaints are being ignored.

Revolution Possible2

Starmer wont even acknowledge the third victim that was Muslim so that tells you everything you need to know. In Starmers Britain, the black, Muslim, Asian, lgbtq+, grt and disabled communities are second class citizens.

Prof Nisreen Alwan7

Not only that but what have protests got to do with this?!

Catrin6

I didn’t even know there was a third victim?

Doghouse Reilly28

I met a woman who bowed before me and said, “your courage and wisdom are matched only by your viritity”, now here’s 800 more words of brainrot

Dave Murkington12

Amazing how many women he meets that are convenient jumping off points for his columns.

Holly Brigstocke11

Keir Starmer, Queer Harmer. Keir Starmer, Jew Harmer. Same thing. It's what he is. A morally corrupt serial liar. A psychopath.

RL Stine Action7

Right open, eggshell everywhere, yolk and all pouting out

BalthazarBlaze5

Fucking hell the absolute fantasies that pundits get to write as though they are at all believable.

Onboard Navvy4

There's a line in one of The Accursed Kings books, along the lines of "Louis X had a dislike of dogs, ever since a puppy bit him when he tried to pierce its ear with a nail".

Meyer_𓅅3

I can vividly imagine the placards with Kid Starver Jew Harmer written on them

We wish you a merry Kiermas3

not calling him a liar but this didn't happen

MikeReid4

#StarmerIsUnfit to lead either party or state. His loyalties are not with the #LabourMovement or our nation.

Sky Bloo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿3

This for me is the straw that broke the camel's back. Heidi Alexander's interview helped me to make up my mind about how to vote in the #Senedd election on Thursday. #Labour no longer reflects my values or deserves my support. I'm done.

Nigel K2

Zack Polanski's being criticised by Labour because he's not the kind of Jew they like, you know the type who support Israel's murderous and illegal activities, a country led by a bloke with an international arrest warrant against him. Labour's leadership has an antisemitism problem.

Juj2

Facts dont matter to labour

Iman Saleem🍁🍉2

Keir Starmer is an antisemite. If Zionist Jews are the “right kind” of Jews in his eyes only, that’s what he is.

thecoamsouls.bsky.social3

The Israeli ambassador to the UK Keir Starmer wants to stop anti genocide protests because they might upset his wife.

J.3

Absolute bullshit here from #telavivkieth Starmer.. Unequivocally proving his zionism now goes far enough to dehumanising Muslims so much, he never even mentioned him being stabbed, before the two Jewish people in Golders 🤮🤮. Not fit to run a political party. Two tier Kier.

tanwyn.bsky.social2

Starmer is only interested in what keeps him in power. Israel support & funding is a big part of that, both for him and his party. Not for long though. The writing is on the wall. #votegreen

John2

Me too. I really really want out of this union. #ScottishIndependence
