      With Queer Harmer in charge, I’d argue things will get worse. He’s so incredibly hateful.

        Why call him that? Like that’s awful. He’s the furthest thing from queer. Queer is good to me, queer people are the best people I know.

          I think OP meant it more in the sense that he has the ability to harm queer people. Labour’s stance on trans issues isn’t great, currently.

            I guess that’s fair, just sounds iffy to me. But that is indeed undeniable, he does harm queer people hahaha

          His name is Kier Starmer. Queer Harmer is a play on that due to the harm he’s done to queer people. He harms queer people.
