  1. “Keir Starmer: The PM who hated you (and couldn’t even do it competently)”

    by Ricky From Council Estate Media on Substack

    @uk_politics
    @UKLabour

    “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”

  3. 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).

  5. 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!

  7. “Starmer has never put the country first – not even in his final, insipid act”

    @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”

  9. @DGI

    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.

    “As the May 2026 local elections draw near, the Labour party’s fear of the Greens is written as clearly in its campaign as Keir Starmer’s brylcreemed vacuity. Just like its utter lack of substance, ideas, and integrity. And wow, did it show in the abject failure of its naked attempt to smear the Green party in a dire new video”

    “May I remind you, the man was elected on a platform of change — bold, principled, transformative change. 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”

    “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”

  21. Another classic example of media rightwing bias.

    This story on ending the #TwoChildBenefitCap

    - First paragraph says it will "cost a lot of money" (quoting the Education Secretary)

    - Last paragraph says it will lift 470,000 children out of poverty (quoting the Resolution Foundation)

    Maybe, but when a single policy ( #TwoChildBenefitCap ) is widely understood as the leading cause of child poverty, eliminating it should pay for itself.

  27. This is Kirsty McNeill's maiden speech as Labour MP for Midlothian where she makes her "solemn commitment" to the children of Midlothian that she will be their "champion".

    "We are all of us products of investments made in us as children" - how true Kirsty.

    She voted to keep the two-child benefit cap.

    I worked in Education in Midlothian for many years and saw first-hand the child poverty that exists there.

    The #twoChildBenefitCap was introduced in a budget - in a Finance Bill -

    There is no need to reference its removal in a #kingsSpeech

  31. It seems from the #kingsSpeech that #lasbour has chosen to focus on housebuilding and economic growth, but ducked some of the more dramatic reforms - eg #votesAt16 #lordsReform beyond removing hereditary peers

    The measure most are lobbying for on the Labour Left - removing the #twoChildBenefitCap - I guess might be part of the Finance bill so not mentioned specifically now - but if I were one of them I would not hold my breath....

    Starmer prioritising security & caution over radicalism
