Coward Starmer sends nonentity Reeves to apologise for his visit to homophobic church because he’s not big enough to say sorry
Keir Starmer fails again: This Site uses this image to signify failure by the Labour Party’s right-wing leader. It’s getting so I don’t need any other images of him at all.
If anything demonstrates that Keir Starmer should not be the United Kingdom’s prime minister, it is this.
We’ve already got a PM who won’t take personal responsibility for his mistakes, stupidities and stated policies of oppression; we don’t need another.
Starmer recently not only visited a church whose priest expresses anti-LGBT+ views – he made a video about it. Here it is:

If he didn’t know about the views held by the congregation at this church, he should have done some research (or his researchers should have). That in itself would be bad enough.
Worse was the fact that he didn’t have the guts to come back and admit he was wrong in person. He’s a coward – or he’s so arrogant that he can’t own up to his mistakes personally. Neither is a good look for a prospective national leader.
Instead, we were offered this, and told to take it or leave it:
Rachel Reeves says that Keir Starmer and the Labour Party don't endorse the views of the church, after Keir Starmer did a video where he celebrated the church therefore endorsing their views. https://t.co/vBH9CB7kMg

The response has been a universal chorus in favour of leaving it – and him – for glaringly obvious reasons, like the fact that he spent the length of his own video endorsing Jesus House. This means Reeves lied:

Oh yes – Starmer tweeted about it, but he absolutely wasn’t going to face the grilling he knew he would get if he actually faced the press.
Starmer's options:
1. Apologise to LGBT people for visiting and praising a homophobic church, delete the video
2. Belligerently refuse to apologise properly, leave the video up, send out Rachel Reeves to lie for him on national television
Take a wild guess which one he chose

So Starmer sends Rachel Reeves out to lie for him about gay-hate church Jesus House.
What could have been merely a PR blunder is now a full-blown political scandal.
Sir Keir scores again.

And all this happened just weeks before the nation goes to the polls for the long-delayed local elections.
Starmer can congratulate himself on briefly securing – then throwing away – the homophobic vote.
Anyone who isn’t a bigot will now stay at home anyway, rather than vote for a party he leads.

The man’s clown who doesn’t know whot a Christian is nore is he a labour but a Tory in a
Red tie untill that day we get a leader who doesn’t believe in A broad church then on this stammer the spammer goes
Every damn time this idiot chooses the stupid option. So tries to appeal to Christians in a homophobic church so upsetting all the LGBT voters! Way to burn a few more potential voters or was he going for the homophobic voter?
Oh but instead of apologising and saying sorry sends out someone else to apologise sorta for him so making him a coward just like his hero Bozo.
This man has done more to destroy the Labour party with his cult of new Labour 2.0 and stupid political choices than any other leader even his hero Blair wasen’t this stupid and arrogant.
