Yes - especially Bunter who got £27k worth of organic food sent to him at No 10 by Lady McAlpine of JCB - but as with many Western Liberals - Starmer is a liberal only at home it seems - not when it comes to the actions of his settler in-laws in Palestine. Reminds me of Charles Dickens who opposed Abolition of Slavery and wrote of exterminating the Indian Race after the 1857 Revolt.
