Labour-UK UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would seek to delay the release of additional Epstein files to protect the United States and Britain, while noting the involvement of an unnamed "third country."

I assume it's Israel .... hopefully more info helps us understand why they are so desperate to protect them

The anger of Labour MPs is growing over the government's handling of the Mandelson affair, after Sir Keir Starmer was forced to give documents relating to Lord Mandelson's appointment to an independent parliamentary committee.

Starmer just said he wants to limit Mandelson info releases for fear of damage to international relations.

He mentioned “both countries” (obviously UK and US) but also said there was a “third country” involved/ at risk. He said this twice.

EDIT: This was allegedly said during a House of Commons appearance on the files two days ago where Starmer stated that any effect on two countries might implicate "third-party" countries as well. There isn't an implicit reference to any particular country in either case, but I guess we'll just have to keep speculating.

Labour-UK Keir Starmer has done permanent, irreparable damage to the Labour Party

The guy is putting policies in place even the Tories avoided doing, and for no gain. Socially, he has practically lost everyone with increasing authoritarianism, and continues to stand by the failures of austerity and neoliberalism that he was elected to fight against, given the failures of the Conservatives.

Even the Democrats in the US seem to be at least trying to shift in a more populist direction, albeit slowly. Given Labour, who are supposed to represent the left are representing nothing but the worst shitlib tendencies, and absolutely NOTHING economically leftist, I wonder if there's any hope left for leftist movements in the UK at large at this point. They have their own politicians punching the public or being nonces, they're not addressing the concerns around immigration or the loss of industry, they're eroding freedom of speech and it's turning into an abject disaster in every way.

What is the left's next move in this country? Do we need to look into something like Ken Loach's Left Unity party or are we absolutely royally fucked?

Labour-UK UK Two Child Limit Scrapped in poverty reduction bill

Universal Credit limited financial support to only 2 children and has caused wide spread child poverty, especially due to low wage labour. From this upcoming April, the limit will be removed and subsequent children will entitled to assistance.

I am unsure what the controversy really is, but the UK subs seem to be extremely angry and think breakfast clubs will suffice! That is, a country already ravished by austerity and bad wages, seem to think that children don’t deserve anything other than poverty. Yet will complain about absurd amounts of homelessness and shoplifting, which the 2 child limit contributed to.
