@brianconnelly-s5e Farage has no power, but, like the rest of us, has the right, at least for now, to express his opinions.
The Dear Leader is Prime Minister. He needs to learn, and quickly, that, unlike when he was Leader of the Opposition, his behaviour now matters, and that his words, and actions, have consequences.

I think it is more a case of trying to protect their core vote of the public sector, and keeping the bosses of the big unions on side.
The others, such as farmers, the elderly, and those from the private sector, are of no interest, and can therefore be considered expendable.
After all, in the world of Rachel from Accounts, a dead pensioner is both one less pension to pay, and, potentially, one less non labour vote.

Isn't the problem that Starmer hasn't yet realised that he is no longer Leader of the opposition, where he could say more or less what he wanted and no one would much care, but is now Prime Minister, and that his words have consequences.
Labelling the bulk of the British population into the category of 'far right thugs' is likely to exacerbate the current situation, especially when he has also promised special levels of protection for Mosques.
In short, in the first crisis of his Premiership, he is failing badly. There are, without doubt, a number of unpleasant far-right thugs in the country, but all Starmer has done is give them a spurious credibility, by refusing to listen to the concerns of many ordinary British people.
Hopefully, there are some wiser politicians in the labour camp, who will be able to make him aware of what he has done.
