 Starmer’s view of the desperate men, women and children fleeing war and persecution being forced to cross the Channel in unsafe dinghies and small boats because the Conservatives have removed all lawful safe routes to claim asylum:

"The first job of any government is national security - protecting the British people from threats that come from here and overseas.”

Refugees are now *threats* to Labour.

Let that sink in.

Then decide whether you can really support a party that has sunk so low.. 
 @1fb367ab as an American dealing with this crap. Follow the money. You may find the same donors giving money, lobbying, paying for trips funneling money in other ways to the biggest prats in both labour & the Tory parties.
Support politicians that go after the corruptors, that immediately move to tax & regulate the rich, or those rich pricks will just buy more politicians regardless of party.
