Keir Starmer ignoring Mother's Day

AIBU to think it's a bit of a glaring omission?

Nothing on Twix today except something about Ramadan, and an RT about Myanmar.

Lots of upset on there about him ignoring Lent too.

It's probably too late to expect anything now.

What's his objective here? It feels so... deliberate. And bizarre.

Fully expecting some to accuse me of dog whistling. But I'd still be interested in why they think he's done it.

He posted on Facebook: ‘Thinking of my late mum today, who so influenced me as I was growing up; and thinking of my wife Vic, who is the rock of our family.

This picture, from our wedding day, is one of my favourite memories of them both together.

Happy Mother’s Day.’

He has posted about mother's day. Maybe look at his posts?

Why does he need to mention Mother’s Day? None of us are his mum.

And apparently he did post about it on IG.

I think it’s a disgrace, but he seems to be deliberately causing division.

Do you really think Keir Starmer is personally doing the tweeting?

Prob the junior weekend cover comms person forgot.

I don’t need the PM to mention Mother’s Day. I expect that from my sons. I’d like the PM to focus on his job, like most sensible people.
