Starmer is a dead loss

 All I have to say this morning is that Keir Starmer continues to be a disappointment. But actually, that’s not true. I never expected anything of him because I never trusted him, so I didn’t vote for him, so how can he be a disappointment?

Not content with supporting Israel in its genocide, now he has taken us into an illegal war.

I went to a conflict resolution workshop on Saturday morning organised by my Quaker Meeting, and run by an external, skilled facilitator. The morning was titled “How to settle arguments kindly and constructively.” One morning is not enough time to learn all the skills involved, so the facilitator focused on what constitutes good listening. It was so worthwhile.

Have any of our world leaders every heard of peace and reconciliation? Of diplomacy? Of morality, even?


Taking part in our last Quaker peace vigil, holding as many placards as possible.
