Two Tier Kier.
FYI, Two Tier Kier is a conspiracy theorist term pushed by people who say Kier is against white people and doesn't punish non-whites for crime.
Let's not adopt white supremacist slogans...
Better names are Queer Harmer or Kid Starver
Kid Starver doesn't really make sense, he's expanded free school meals, greatly raised minimum wages, increased free childcare, brought about the biggest increase in workers rights in a generation (parents tend to work), removed the two child benefit cap, etc.
Queer Harmer probably has more legitimacy to it, I suppose? The high court (not appointed by government or Starmer, btw) had a controversial ruling on gendered toilets, saying that premises are free to exclude trans women from women's toilets if they so choose. So far the government has made no attempt to alter the law to amend that, so it can perhaps be taken as silent support of that ruling.
