Tittering reaction ‘disgusting’ – what kind of human being acts like this? Keir Starmer’s reaction to a young girl suffering deep poverty has been slammed by a journalist as…
"Most disgusting thing" is a stretch, but yeah, he could and should do better.
I could be wrong but it looks more like they are having a conversation. He's not immediately taking advantage of the situation to call out and blame the tories for high energy prices, he's having a conversation and mentioning how his 15 year old son is really tall and would need a big onesie. He's talking wth her not at her. .
One of these situations where you look at the source of the story and it’s a basic outrage-headline-for-clicks site. I’ve never heard of skwawkbox outside of lemmy, where do they advertise?
I'm going to review it when I have a sec in terms of whether it's a source that should be used here.
A cursory glance at their record on Wikipedia suggests the answer may be "no".They're fine. The story is fine. They came to prominence on Twitter. To act like they're a Fediverse thing is disingenuous. And the video itself, is whatever you make of it, some will explain it away, others will see Starmer failing to show any compassion or empathy.
I thought it would turn out to be owned by a Tory donor, but it appears to be some salty Momentum types still angry that Corbyn resonated with the British public about as well as a dogshit flavoured Pukka pie.
