    I reckon Starmer admires the Chinese government and their authoritarian methods.

    Can’t wait to get my social credit score!

    Can we stop flip flopping about chinese export controls and national security in research then

  3. In the meantime, a [Hong Kong man was jailed for 8 weeks over the so-called “insulting national anthem” crime at a volleyball game](https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3275075/hong-kong-man-jailed-8-weeks-over-insulting-national-anthem-volleyball-match) under Xi’s totalitarian rule. Additionally, [a Hong Kong student was jailed for 8 weeks recently for a role in an “illegal protest” in 2020](https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3274185/hong-kong-student-jailed-8-weeks-role-illegal-protest-2020).

    If he’d have said this prior to the election I 100% would’ve voted for a different party. People were right about this guy it just seems more and more apparent that he’s a diet tory, thankfully labour seem to be getting stuff done regardless.

  5. Starmers turning our country into another version of China as the days go on… Guys a fuckin weapon..
