Video – Keir Starmer slammed for visiting ‘rampantly homophobic church’

'A very quick google search would have revealed that Theresa May was condemned for visiting this rampantly homophobic church."Unless the Labour leadership wants to make it clear it doesn’t care about LGBTQ people, it needs to apologise."

Labour leader Starmer’s decision to visit Jesus House in London was met with criticism over the views of its senior pastor Agu Irukw, an opponent of gay marriage who previously co-signed a letter to The Daily Telegraph opposing laws to prevent discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation: ‘The regulations force Christians in churches, businesses, charities and informal associations to accept and even promote the idea that homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality.’

Starmer Tweeted: “I recently visited @JesusHouseUK to hear about their crucial work in the community. Churches across the country have played such a vital role in the fight against the virus. I hope everyone has a good, restful and safe Easter weekend.”

Guardian columnist Owen Jones said: ‘Unless the Labour leadership wants to make it clear it doesn’t care about LGBTQ people, it needs to apologise’ and Labour councillor Kerri Prince tweeting: ‘When I worked for an MP, I would google every organisation who wished to meet with him. I cannot fathom that nobody in Keir’s office bothered to check the background of Jesus House. Totally unacceptable.’

Labour leader visits Jesus House church which is
❌ Homophobic
❌ For conversion therapy
❌ Anti-abortion
❌ And opposes equal marriage

What the hell is Labour doing?

Theresa May was criticised for visiting the same church four years ago, and Boris Johnson was too in 2009.

“The only explanation is that it was deliberate. Of all the churches available they went for one that had been visited by a Tory PM before. And one whose views can easily be found online because of the coverage that previous visit generated. It’s another dog whistle to the right.”

The prime minister spoke at a question-and-answer session and met members of the Jesus House church led by pastor Agu Irukwu – a visit that human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told BuzzFeed News is “an insult to black LBGT people”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
