Attached: 1 image #GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.

Labour has decided to start their campaign with a bang, pruning women of colour and left wingers from the ballot due to reasons such as liking tweets sharing Jon Stewart videos. At the end of the day it boils down to support for Palestine.

Looks like Labour is doing what they can to make sure UK politics remains completely fucked even after the end of the Tory rule.

    Looks like Labour is doing what they can to make sure UK politics remains completely fucked even after the end of the Tory rule.

    Literally what Starmer was brought in to do - make sure the country continues to be run by and for capitalists.

    How anyone can see what he’s done and continues to do to the party (never mind what little his party does as the opposition) and still think he works for anyone but the establishment is wildly depressing.
