"When a woman had a baby in Athens, it was up to the father to decide whether to keep or abandon the baby. When parents divorced in Rome the father was ordinarily given custody of the children."

The Starmer Project
by Oliver Eagleton
…
“Promoted as a progressive, liberal lawyer, in reality he is a ruthless autocrat ‘combining intervention abroad with repression at home’ …
“… [His] political life is defined by duplicity; his legal, notable for defending the state while prosecuting activists …
“His time as DPP was marked by defending state abuses of power.
“He prevented Home Office officials responsible for the death of migrant Jimmy Mubenga from being charged.
“[He] did the same for PC Harwood, the officer responsible for killing Ian Tomlinson, the newspaper vendor who died following the G20 protests.
“[And] most famously, he refused to bring charges against the killers of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot dead by police at Stockwell tube station.
“Similarly, Starmer protected the Spycops who used their undercover roles to abuse women …
“During his tenure, the CPS acted ‘as a proxy’ for the US State Department overseas, with Starmer himself becoming an envoy for the US Department of Justice.
“He forged close links with US Attorney General, Eric Holder: at one point going way beyond his remit by promising to secure Gary McKinnon’s extradition — a young man who, while looking for evidence of UFOs, hacked into US military databases.
“Eagleton describes Starmer’s ‘fury’ with Theresa May when as Home Secretary she stopped the extradition …
“A prize pursued by the Blairites who took over the leadership team (including Peter Mandelson …), Eagleton provides a detailed account of the manoeuvres to expel Corbyn, including how the antisemitism row was used to achieve this goal …
“As Labour’s prime spokesperson on Brexit … Starmer prevented Corbyn from adopting a left-populist Brexit position, prevented Labour supporting the compromise position put forward by Theresa May, and pushed the Party towards favouring a second referendum; a position that was electoral suicide.
“Eagleton argues this was a deliberate act of sabotage.
“If lucky, it could result in a second referendum, with Starmer the Remainers’ hero; if not, Labour would lose the next election and Starmer could swoop in as new leader to save the Party. What was not to like? …
“With a multitude of eyewitness accounts, Eagleton exposes Starmer as an ambitious opportunist, neither a lapsed socialist nor liberal defender of human rights, but first and foremost a conservative …”
