If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

2. Empowering and legitimising the far right by echoing its themes, threats, cruelty and nastiness. Even if you set aside the moral implications, it’s an utterly baffling policy, as all the evidence shows that this gifts voters to the far right. www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

It’s official – Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” speech has backfired

Exclusive: the first survey before and after the immigration speech reveals a drop in Labour support.

3. Refusing to introduce Proportional Representation. Under our First Past The Post system, a party with a minority of the vote can achieve a huge majority (as Starmer did with 34%). There is no way Farage could become Prime Minister under a PR system. Only under FPTP.
