I agree. He has given posts to the noisiest Corbyn haters (such as Wes Streeting and Jess Phillips) and the centre right 'Progress' faction (who are the closest to Conservative ideology before the extreme right took control of the Tories).
The shadow defence secretary is John Healey who supported the Iraq war and opposed the subsequent investigation.
Starmer immediately jumped to please the Hodge faction on the allegation of antisemitism …. (despite the ECHR investigation still not being completed). He is trying to make Labour middle-of-the-road (beige) when we are now in a crisis where middle-of-the-road won't/ can't address the horrendous consequences of the epidemic.

Time to let them know we are disgusted with this decision. If you agree add your name to the protest.

This is a non-story compared to the lack of PPE for the NHS and Handick and Priti Awful criticising our health heroes for ‘complaining’.

plenty of people feel the same.
Plenty more feel the same about the lies and disgraceful inaction from this Tory government. They have more important things to do than signing online petitions, like struggling to breathe, working 14 hour days on the frontline and grieving loved ones lost due to Boris’ cavalier attitude at the start of this pandemic.

The rest are dead.
