Keir Starmer picking a battle he ‘cannot win’: Esther Krakue

Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says Labour leader Keir Starmer has the “luxury” of labelling the anti-woke movement as “culture wars”. Keir Starmer called out the Conservative Party for “waging war” on various progressive institutions and vowed to end divisive culture wars if elected. “He shouldn’t have said anything because he is picking a battle he cannot win,” Ms Krakue told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. “There is a reason why people are getting upset about this ... there is a reason why when the leader of the opposition doesn’t want to say what a woman is or can’t define it – people get upset. “If you don’t want to talk about or address it – fine – but don’t effectively turn your nose up at people who take this importantly.”
