If I wasn't on Bluesky I probably wouldn't have even heard or read the name Gavin Newsom but I'm getting the impression he's like America's answer to Keir Starmer

I guess Suella simply forgot that May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak all became PM without standing as the Tory Party leader in a general election. Perhaps it's a little harder to explain why she forgot that she too attempted to become de facto PM in precisely the same way when Johnson resigned.

Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister and leader of Labour Party
Starmer will remain as PM until Labour chooses a new leader - he has asked the party's governing body to ensure that happens "before Parliament returns in September".

What Israel is doing in Lebanon is SICKENING. It’s reminiscent of the Nakba but on a wider scale. Lebanon isn’t getting news coverage just like Gaza at the beginning of the genocide. 🇮🇱 must be stopped before this turns into another Gaza situation! They’ve called for the annexation of South 🇱🇧
What The Fuck.
WHAT THE FUCK.
Israel got away with Gaza so now they are doing it all over again to South Lebanon.

Israel just wiped out an entire village in Lebanon, violating Security Council resolution SCR1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.
This is another war crime and International Criminal Court remains silent.

A quick reminder of Starmer's leadership pledge number 4.
4. Promote peace and human rights

No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party. He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war. Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.
