Starmer can fuck right off as well. Writing pieces in hard right hate rags now.
I'm not a big Starmer fan, but I genuinely do not understand the uproar about this. Surely if you want to reach out to voters from all backgrounds, you will need to provide content on media channels that they actually sample? This is the same as chastising Joe Biden for appearing on Fox News. How is Biden ever going to bring his point across to all those Americans for whom Fox News is the only source of political information, if he is unwilling to appear on that channel in the first place? Manchester United will still have to play in the Etihad Stadium if they want to have an opportunity to get 3 more points, regardless of how they may loathe the ground.
The Sun is at its core a paper designed to rile up workers against other workers - especially foreign ones - so Starmer writing for them demonstrates quite handily that he is not on the side of the worker. Not that his previous actions proved to the contrary mind (see: why Labour are in such an absolute financial shambles right now).
If reaching out to UKIP / Brexit Party / Britain First voters (The Sun's readership base) is his tactic then I want no part of it. Add to that his strategy is 'let's be Tories, but RED' and... no, he can fuck right off. He's had his chance, and his party as they are now are not one I can vote for with any clear conscience.
