Maiden Speech For The Next Labour Leader

The Labour Party has broken trust with the British people twice this century. We broke trust over Iraq and we broke trust over Brexit.

The former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has apologised on behalf of the Labour party for Tony Blair leading the country into an illegal war of aggression against Iraq and I am here today to apologise for Labour trying to stop Brexit. 

The attempts by Labour to overturn the democratic decision to leave the EU were undemocratic and wrong. We promised to deliver Brexit and we broke our word.

Labour is a democratic socialist party. Democracy and socialism are our two core principles. There was no excuse for Labour failing to accept the largest democratic mandate in the history of British democracy. 

Although Labour members were well intentioned, wishing to avert an outcome they believed would cost jobs and harm the economy, there is no excuse for ignoring democratic results. That is the antithesis of Labour's values.

Bad faith actors were also involved. The people involved in the coup to topple Jeremy Corbyn were the leaders of the second referendum campaign. They used the second referendum as a weapon to carry out their treacherous mission.

My first task as Labour leader is to apologise to leave voters. Labour shamefully dishonoured your vote. I am deeply sorry and unreservedly apologise on behalf of the Labour Party for that breach of trust. I guarantee that under my leadership Labour will never disrespect voters’ wishes. I also wish to apologise to remain voters. You were led up the garden path by the Labour MPs who supported the People’s Vote.  There was never a majority in the country or parliament for a second referendum, it was just being used to topple a Labour leader. You were used by Labour MPs who pushed the second referendum and for that I sincerely apologise.

I hope it will be possible to rebuild trust with the public. It is up to me to prove to you that my word is my bond. It is my job to rebuild trust and to give people a reason to vote Labour again.

Regarding internal party matters, the Forde Report will be published immediately. Anyone who is found to have been involved in sabotaging the election of a Labour government will face disciplinary action. As leader I will have no involvement in that process.

My highest priority is increasing the number of people who vote Labour. I will do that by setting out the programme of government I will implement if I become prime minister.

Judge me by my actions. All I ask for is the opportunity to serve my country.

Thank you for your time today.

Starmer Has Sold Labour’s Soul To The Billionaire Media

Image
Sometimes I listen to a bit of commercial radio on a Friday and a Saturday evening. The presenter's name is Nick Abbot, he’s a genuinely funny man and holds many views that would resonate with the vast majority of you that are reading this now.  But Abbot does have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Keir Starmer - despite being a regular defender of Jeremy Corbyn - because he views Starmer as the lesser of two evils rather than what he is: a Tory in a red tie with the charm of a Betterware catalogue. Just last week Abbot almost sounded surprised when he described Starmer as positioning himself  “to the right” of the Tories on immigration.  So I’m wondering what he will have to say about Starmer’s Damascus-like conversion to making Brexit work?  I have always insisted Keir Starmer supported the second referendum campaign so he could use the People’s Vote Ltd nonsense as a Trojan horse to screw over Jeremy Corbyn and claim the leadership for himself and all those that line his po

Keir Starmer Is The Most Deceitful Labour Leader For A Generation

Image
The entirely necessary death of the Conservative party would undoubtedly be so much more congenial if Keir Starmer’s Labour party didn’t spend their time trying to out-Tory the fucking Tories. “But they’re not”, scream the Starmer Stans, knowingly peddling the lies of the establishment favourite and co-defendant of the billionaire media.  Is red authoritarianism more alluring than blue authoritarianism? Is it okay for your right to protest to vanish into thin air because the instigator is carrying a red shroud? Jesus fucking wept. How about your NHS? Privatisation on steroids is acceptable if the seller has a red podium in front of a Union flag instead of a blue one? Fuck your “difficult decisions”, the NHS belongs to us. A liar is still a liar, whether their name is Starmer, Sunak, or Johnson. When your ears hear one thing but your eyes see another you are being lied to.  Starmer is an ideal political leader for the times. He jumps on every passing bandwagon and he will tell anybody a

“Why Are You Employing Tory Policies To Deal With A Tory Crisis?”

It wasn’t really a “shadow cabinet reshuffle”, was it?  I know that’s what the mainstream propaganda called it, but they also called Boris Johnson the greatest Prime Minister since Churchill and Liz Truss a safe pair of hands after the dethroning of the aforementioned  The obsequious lickspittle Starmer should remain on his knees to give thanks to Johnson and Truss because they are the only reasons why he will form the next government.  Surely you didn’t think it was servile Starmer’s complete lack of principles, his marshmallow backbone, and his vuvuzela-like tones that look set to deliver a thumping Labour majority next year, right?  I put myself through the misery of listening to an LBC phone-in with Iain Dale and Rachel Reeves the other day, I’m sure lots of you did too… But one particular caller made the entire 45 minutes worth listening to when he asked Reeves, “why are you employing Tory policies to deal with a Tory crisis?”.  Reeves, along with temporary leader Starmer have mo
