Lest we forget: “Oliver #Eagleton’s book ‘The Starmer Project’ is packed with detail about Starmer’s political and legal career. It often makes for unpleasant reading: his political life is defined by duplicity; his legal notable for defending the state while prosecuting activists. His leadership bid was an act of fraud”

/1 Confession 🤷‍♀️: not mentioned in the otherwise excellent Tyee article,

I added / raised the issue of Poilievre's duplicitous acquiescence to the far-right / Christian right / Christofascist anti-2SLGBTQIA+ rhetoric / wedge strategy. 😡

Since #Hezbollah's rebuff, #Hamas exposed its #frustration in public statements that thanked Hezbollah, but said "the battle requires more."

It wasn't all gloom for Hamas. #Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei assured head of Hamas Ismail #Haniyeh his support, but only with #duplicity:

Publicly denying that it wants #Israel-Hamas war to spread, & publicly denying it support for keeping attacks secret, he still offered political & moral support privately.
