@palestinenews“Right then. Let’s not mess about. Andy Burnham has been Prime Minister for two weeks and already the man who promised real change and a break with the past, has filled his top team with so many Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) veterans, pro-Israel donors, and establishment re-treads you’d be forgiven for thinking Starmer never actually left”

“Keir Starmer: The PM who hated you (and couldn’t even do it competently)”
by Ricky From Council Estate Media on Substack
“If I was asked to describe #Starmer’s time in charge, the genocide wouldn’t even be the first thing that springs to mind. Don’t get me wrong, it’s unquestionably the worst thing he did, but genocide is almost to be expected of a British prime minister. I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere in the terms and conditions.
What is most striking about the last two years is just how proudly Starmer showed his contempt for those he’s supposed to represent”

Any Brits out there labouring under the impression that Andy Burnham is gonna be any different from the #KidStarver as/ when he becomes Labour leader & PM need to watch this vid featuring Declassified UK’s Matt Kennard!
Reality: Burnham is just Starmer with a more Northern, folksy, telegenic personality! Like Starmer he’s a “creature” of the neoliberal wing of the party (loves Israel; unconvinced about whether Gaza is a #PalestinianGenocide; committed to #NHS privatisation etc).

For any Brits out there who think Burnham is gonna be any different from the #KidStarver when he becomes PM … think again!!!
Burnham is a total snake! Like Starmer, he’s a “creature” of the #IsraelLobby & the neoliberal Labour Party “machine” that has totally destroyed the Left & participated in Israel’s genocide cs Gaza! He’ll say & do anything to get into power!

“Starmer has never put the country first – not even in his final, insipid act”
by Rachael Swindon in The Canary
@uk_politics
@thecanaryuk
@UKLabour“Starmer’s legacy isn’t one of service – it’s one of spectacular, self-inflicted failure, and we have been screaming it from the rooftops since he first donned that red tie and started sounding like a Tory in denial.
Let’s start with the Gaza betrayal, because nothing exposes the utterly hollow core of Starmerism quite like it”

Says it all about the disastrous, two-year term in office of the Labour-in-name-only Party under the spineless autocrat called Keir Starmer!
Was he the worst British PM ever? If not, must be a close-run thing!

“Keir Starmer is out but Andy Burnham is no friend of the British people”
by Deaglan O’Mulrooney in the spectacle on Substack
“Keir Starmer is finally gone. His likely replacement is charismatic, popular, and northern but he is also a welfare-cutting, BDS-bashing, Iraq War-supporting member of Labour Friends of Israel.”

I prefer to think of Keir Starmer as a #Quisling!
His Labour Party #Cabinet is a fetid colostomy bag full of Quislings!
The National Executive Council [#NEC] and Parliamentary Labour Party [#PLP] are full of #Netanyahu-funded Labour Friends of Israel [#LFI] & #JewishLabour Quislings!
They *all* collaborate with the #British deep state & with the genocidal #Zionist entity in undermining #British democracy &, now, in creating a #Zionist-infested #Palantir-enabled #FarRight dictatorship.

Instead, we’ve got the same old rotten stench wafting from Downing Street: broken pledges on nationalising energy, U-turns on workers’ rights, grovelling to billionaires while the poor queue at food banks, and a foreign policy that makes Tony #Blair look like a fucking pacifist”

“Starmer's go-to excuse: 'I was in the dark'. Don't believe it. He's deeply in the loop”

“From Jimmy #Savile to Peter #Mandelson, Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance. He knows far more than he lets on. It's the reason, after all, why he was knighted.
[..]
“This is one long trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance and incompetence. Does any of it sound even vaguely plausible?”

@uk_politics“On 31 March, we reported that Labour had suspended Karl Turner. Turner had criticised Labour’s plan to abolish jury trials as a universal right; he’d also given an interview to independent journalist and Canary contributor Jody McIntyre.
Following his suspension, Turner tried to distance himself from McIntyre. Now, McIntyre has set the record straight”

“You [Keir Starmer] have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

@UKLabour
@ZackPolanski“Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.
Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.
And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”

Um... Proving again that #ProBirth is NOT #ProLife!
In states that ban #abortion, #SocialSafetyNet programs often fail families
By LAURA UNGAR and KIMBERLEE KRUESI, December 27, 2024
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — "Taylor Cagnacci moved from California to Tennessee with hopes of starting a new chapter in a state that touts a low cost of living and natural beauty.
"But she’s infuriated by Tennessee’s meager social services, which leave her and many other moms struggling in a state where abortion is banned with limited exceptions.
"'I was going to have my child no matter what, but for other women, that’s kind of a crappy situation that they put you in,' said Cagnacci, a 29-year-old Kingsport mom who relies on #Medicaid and a federally funded nutrition program. 'You have to have your child. But where’s the assistance afterward?'
"Tennessee has a porous safety net for mothers and young children, recent research and an analysis by The Associated Press found. It’s unknown how many women in the state have given birth because they didn’t have access to abortion, but it is clear that from the time a Tennessee woman gets pregnant, she faces greater obstacles to a #HealthyPregnancy, a #HealthyChild and a financially stable family than the average
"Like other states with strict abortion bans, Tennesseans of childbearing age are more likely to live in maternal care deserts and face overall doctor shortages. Women, infants and children are less likely to be enrolled in a government nutrition program known as #WIC. And Tennessee is one of only 10 states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid to a greater share of low-income families."
