This two-panel collage meme calls out an alleged double standard among senior UK Labour Party politicians. The top panel shows party leader Keir Starmer and deputy leader Angela Rayner kneeling in an office space, paired with text that reads 'FOR GEORGE FLOYD A US CITIZEN' and an inset portrait of George Floyd, an American man killed by police in 2020 that led to global anti-racism protests. The bottom panel shows the same room, now empty of the two politicians, paired with text that reads 'FOR HENRY NOWAK A UK CITIZEN' and an inset portrait of Henry Nowak, a British military veteran killed in a 2024 attack by an undocumented migrant. The meme implies that the politicians made a high-profile public show of solidarity for a foreign national's death, but declined to do the same for a UK citizen killed under similarly controversial circumstances.

This image is a screenshot of a verified public post on X (formerly Twitter) from British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. Lowe explains he has received hundreds of accusations of racism and islamophobia on the day of posting, after announcing the far-right Restore Britain party's policies that include banning halal slaughter, the burqa, sharia law, and cousin marriage, among other restrictions.
