@MartinNHW @Keir_Starmer @DrRosena @UKLabour I first heard of Kier Starmer as someone radicalised as a teenager on frontlines at Wapping. I have seen him be brave, radical and principled across the years at invisible, unpopular events. I might lose friends over it, but the candidate for me as a rate consistency of values.

@debbiesuth27 @GhostCatLady @redrichie Not that good at the sarcasm thing either. Might want to work on that when you are on the whole trying to make yourself look clever thing.
