“Hundreds sign up for Feinstein’s insurgent campaign as Starmer’s odds lengthen: Bookies slash odds on Feinstein winning and Labour’s campaign numbers fail to impress”
“Former #ANC MP and #Mandela aide Andrew #Feinstein’s campaign to replace Keir #Starmer as MP for #Holborn and St Pancras has been boosted by an extraordinary flood of volunteers and campaigners – in numbers that appear to dwarf those of the local Labour Party.
Feinstein’s campaign has confirmed that as of last week over 740 #volunteers had signed up to assist his campaign via the official campaign website. Feinstein is holding a ‘super weekender’ campaign this weekend to capitalise on the strong response and volunteers have been canvassing, door-knocking, leafleting, posting flyers and phone-banking.”
“[..] betting companies are starting to pay attention, slashing odds on Feinstein’s insurgent campaign replacing Starmer.”
“DAVID LAMMY’S BIG IDEA: NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNDER LABOUR: The man who wants to be foreign secretary is reassuring elite audiences that UK foreign policy will not seriously change under a Keir Starmer government - a strategy confirmed in Labour’s election manifesto.”
“Why are Lammy and Labour so supportive of Israel, despite the extent of its atrocities and British public opposition to the attacks on Gaza?
One reason is that Lammy is Washington’s man in Labour and cannot be seen to upset policy-makers in the US who consistently facilitate Israel’s onslaught on Palestinians.
Lammy has constantly signalled that Labour foreign policy under his leadership will deviate little from Washington’s priorities, and he has been a regular visitor to a string of elite, establishment fora in the US.
The other reason is that Lammy is, like 20 percent of his fellow Labour MPs, a recipient of funds from the Israel lobby. Since becoming an MP in 2000, he has accepted donations from the Israel lobby on numerous occasions, the value amounting to £32,550, Declassified has found.”
