I don’t like folk getting abuse on social media just for the sake of it and don’t think people should have to accept it as part of their job, but, at the same time: Keir Starmer didn’t write that post, he won’t see a single one of the replies, and people are really fucking angry with him just now
For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message.
