  1. FRANCES RYAN: ‘Keir Starmer is cosying up to the Sun. Getting its backing could end up looking like … the ultimate act of selling out’



    “… [The] Sun is ‘inching towards’ giving Labour an endorsement at the next election, reports suggest …

    “After advocating socialist policies throughout his leadership campaign, Starmer has … [refused] to overturn the two-child benefit rule [and defended] Israel’s humanitarian assault on Gaza …

    “… [The] party has lost 23,000 members in just two months [and will have] a poverty of ideas and healthy debate once in office …

    “A leopard does not change his spots, especially after he’s won a landslide …”

    The prospective 'deal' has been put on hold since those horrible events in Gaza began to unfold
