Starmer’s Labour Is A Cesspit - Bereft Of Principled Leadership

There is a real likelihood of Keir Starmer handing the Tories an increased majority if a general election were to be held tomorrow. 

That’s how badly things have ended up under the deficient leadership of the charmless Brylcreem bonce.

I know I might sound a bit like a broken record, but I make no apologies for doing so. 

Keir Starmer’s refusal to sign a joint motion to the Speaker from six other Westminster leaders, calling for Boris Johnson to be rebuked in the House of Commons for his flabbergasting dishonesty, really wasn’t his brightest move. 

Team Starmer insists Labour wouldn’t normally sign these motions from other parties, but these are not normal times. If the opposition wanted to land a hefty blow on the Prime Minister - to hold pathological liar Johnson to account - they had the perfect opportunity. But once again, they refused to go on the attack, which has become a theme of the direction of travel under Keir Starmer. 

Labour tacticians are still wondering why they are so far behind undoubtedly the worst government in living memory. Even they’re not really convinced of an ongoing “vaccine bounce”, because they know it’s not just the Conservative Party picking up extra voters. Both the Greens and the Lib Dems seem to be benefiting from this supposed vaccine bounce. 

It’s only Keir Starmer going backwards in the polls. 

It’s only Keir Starmer with negative approval ratings. 

Are we supposed to believe a shot of the Astra Zeneca and Pfizer vaccines suddenly makes you dislike Starmer? Or do you think it might just be possible the public find him to be a bit tedious, totally ineffective, and not particularly likeable? 

“But he’s not Boris Johnson”, scream the Manic Keith Preachers. Not good enough. 

The lesser of two evils is still fucking evil, however you dress it up. 

Back in September 2018, I can remember the hundreds of Palestinian flags being flown on the main floor of Labour’s Party conference. 

Conference had just passed a motion, put forward by Harlow CLP, demanding an independent international investigation into the “use of force against Palestinian demonstrators”, a freeze on UK arms sales to Israel and an end to the “blockade and closure” of Gaza. 

The oppressed people of Palestine could rely on the support of Jeremy Corbyn. 

At the same Conference, Jeremy said in his keynote speech: 

“As my great Israeli friend Uri Avnery who died this year put it: 'What is the alternative to peace? A catastrophe for both peoples”.

 

"And in order to help make that two-state settlement a reality we will recognise a Palestinian state as soon as we take office". 

Less than three years after the Liverpool Conference in 2018, would you say the Palestinian people will be able to rely on this level of support from Sir Keir Starmer and his version of the Labour Party? 

Not a chance. 

Starmer’s abandoment of the Palestinian people is deeply shameful. 

Starmer’s Labour have received multiple complaints of antisemitism, a damning Islamophobia report from the Labour Muslim Network, and an exodus of BAME party members, disgusted by Starmer’s attitude towards racism in *his* Labour Party. 

Seriously, the Labour Party is an absolute cesspit.

So why isn’t this worthy of a Newsnight special investigation? Why aren’t Dispatches banging on the door to compile their own report? Where are Panorama when you need them? Why isn’t the Mail dedicating page after page to the racism running through the heart of the Labour Party? Why isn’t that godawful Murdoch tabloid mocking up photos of Keir Starmer drop kicking an Imam? Why aren’t the online commentariat tearing into this racist Labour Party? Why haven’t the BBC got someone camped out on Keir Starner’s doorstep?

And where the fuck of all fucks is the EHRC? 

Why isn’t this Labour leader facing the same scrutiny as the previous Labour leader? 

Because 👏🏻 he 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 one 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 them 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 he 👏🏻 always 👏🏻 will 👏🏻 be 

This Labour Party is more concerned with “incursions” from the traveller community than they are with the illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by a racist apartheid state.

Ask Keir Starmer if he stands by the Labour policy of Palestinian state recognition. 

Someone ask him. 

If his actions this week are anything to go by I would suggest supporters of the Palestinian cause will be somewhat disappointed. 

Starmer decided not to attend a Ramadan iftar on Wednesday. He was due to virtually participate in Open Iftar, a fast-breaking event organised by the Ramadan Tent Project, but he withdrew after concerns were raised about tweets from the project’s CEO, Omar Salha. 

Mr Salha once retweeted a tweet supporting a boycott of Israeli dates. 

Based on this, I don’t think I’ll be expecting Keith to pop round for a cup of tea and a slice of cake anytime soon. 

This offensive refusal to join a fast-breaking event has caused further anger within the Labour Party. 

Twenty five British-Palestinian party members, including a writer and an academic, sent an angry letter to Starmer, accusing him of creating a “hostile environment” within the Labour Party. 

Here’s a snippet of what was said in the letter:

“Some of us have been members of the party for decades under different leaders and never have we experienced a party environment so hostile and unwelcoming to us as it has been since you took over its leadership,". 

"Not even during the dark days of the illegal war on Iraq.

"Our community of traditional Labour voters is therefore deeply concerned and alarmed, and we fear that without your immediate action, their growing alienation from the Party will become a permanent rift."

Has the sap Starmer bothered replying or even addressing these perfectly valid concerns? 

Of course not. 

Keir Starmer’s Labour has a serious Muslim problem. 

Keir Starmer’s Labour has a serious GRT community problem. 

Keir Starmer couldn’t even take the knee without looking like an awkward out-of-place centrist dad that really didn’t want to take the knee because he wants the approval of the predominantly racist British press. 

Can you imagine where this establishment-friendly Labour Party would be now without the support of the establishment media? I’d guess they would be lucky to break 20% in the polls.

That Corbyn, he didn’t give a shit what Murdoch thought, he never went cap-in-hand to the Mail, he wouldn’t be told what to do by a few foreign-based billionaires living in tax-exiled luxury, and this is because Jeremy had steadfast principles and a moral compass. 

Let me finish with the current Tory sleaze row. 

Starmer’s lame, flyweight attack on the DNA thief Johnson would actually carry some weight if his own party wasn’t up to their eyeballs in it themselves. While in no way is it comparable to the corrupt Tories handing out huge supply contracts to everyone from your sister to the postman’s cat, it really is worth practicing what you preach, or you leave yourself wide open to accusations of blatant hypocrisy. 

Thankfully, we didn’t have any problems like that with the last Labour leader. 

Anyway, that’s enough from me. Thanks for reading.
