starmer strikes me as a uk version of biden; people assume he's progressive because of the party he leads, but he's held his cards close to his chest instead of relying of surrogates to paint him as progressive despite a past history of THOROUGHLY conservative bona fides like biden.

i bet starmer wiill either cave or already believes in isreal's freedom to genocide no matter what.
