Keir Starmer ignoring Mother's Day

[DangerQuakeRhinoSnake]

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.

So much to unpick here. Why is he a disgrace for sending a message of goodwill to the millions of British citizens that celebrate Eid? What exactly is disgraceful about this? What do you mean he will never mebtion any other religion? Thats complete nonsense. He sends messages about all major religious festivals and no doubt will send Easter and Christmas messages.
We're a Christian country? Yes, but do you go to church? How many people are actually practising Christians here? I know very few.
Also isn't a key part of Christianity the ethos of good will and the message of "love thy neighbour". Those going on about the UK being a Christian country are behaving in a very un-Christian way.

Of course they do! Heaven forfend people try to be a bit friendly and inclusive.

Presented without comment.

Presented without comment as there is nothing comment worthy about that post I assume?

First of all that's completely untrue. He always acknowledges the major Christian festivals. Secondly, you sound nasty and ignorant. Thirdly, you know Christianity emanated from the middle east right?

So? He posted a Father's Day message?
What's the problem?

Is this the most serious criticism you have of Keir Starmer? He's doing well then.

Honestly couldn’t care less whether he calls out a day that now exists for consumerism and isolates groups of people

Hi racist, how's your Brexit going?

Genuinely who has the fucking time to keep tabs on stuff like this. If you have the time to concern yourself with this then your life must be pretty good and in that case why are you pissed off at the government? The rest of us have real problems to worry about.

I would hope his mind is on more important things.

Yep, no comment needed. It's a very nice message. Like the nice message he posted for Mother's Day.

What might have happened between Father’s Day last year and now that would mean someone uses their Twitter feed for more strategic comms information? Was it the election? Or maybe he just didn’t want to post something sweet on X given it has become an absolute cesspit.

Top of my LinkedIn feed this morning was KS’s message on MD with a photo of his wife and mum.

Of all the things to get upset about right now, with all that's happening in the world?

Get a life OP.

I think your comment should be ' sorry I got this completely wrong'.

You aren't coming accross as the type that apologises though, in fairness.

I agree. Why on earth should he have to mention mothers day. He isn't anybody mother. Honestly. I can see why folk get irritated by this mothers day nonsense.

👏👏

He did acknowledge Mothers Day!

Why not look yourself instead of baselessly slandering someone then demanding proof that your made-up allegations are indeed living in your own head only?

You have just proven you are definitely dog whistling OP. Just accept you were wrong.

Just admit you got it wrong @DangerQuakeRhinoSnake

As if mother's day is some nationally important event...

Slander? Oh that's priceless.

What 'foreign' traditions has he acknowledged?
