Starmer’s actually joined in with the ‘stop the boats’ rhetoric, probably to poach back the socially conservative working-class Labour voters who swung Tory in 2019 and prevent losing their votes to Reform. Think of all the seats that have been Labour for decades that voted Tory in 2019.
He’s also done a bit of a u-turn on trans’ rights by saying trans women shouldn’t access female-only spaces like bathrooms.
He’ll probably lose a few votes to the Greens doing this but he knows that. The Corbynites never liked him to begin with and this overlaps with a cohort of people who have made Israel and Palestine their whole personality since last October who don’t like him because they think he and his Shadow Cabinet are too Zionist. Some of them were going to vote Green or Galloway’s party anyway.
