Starmer’s Labour: This Is Not What A Democratic Socialist Party Should Look Like

I’m staring at a blank canvas, wondering which direction I should go today, simply because it has been a comparatively unremarkable week in politics, given events of the last few weeks, months, and years.

Parliament is in recess, but the pork pie plotters continue to plot, Johnson continues to pray for a war, in the hope of getting a poll bounce, and Starmer continues to put himself in front of the cameras, despite appearing to be as comfortable as a cow being sent to do work experience at an abattoir. 

If you only read, watch and listen to the irreversibly polluted mainstream media - whose owners tend to be right-wing billionaires living in tax havens - you would probably think the Labour Party is preparing for government and everyone associated with the party thinks the dear leader is the political apotheosis.

Imagine saying that with a straight face, just 3 years ago. 

If you dig a bit further and read independent media - whose owners tend to be driven by a desire to speak truth to power - you get to realise the Labour Party that you funded, campaigned, and voted for is an authoritarian cesspit, infected by elitism, infiltrated by Tories, and once again, the embodiment of a political party that will put the greed of the bloated establishment before the needs of a broken society. 

You’re welcome to prove me wrong. I would welcome some evidence to point me towards the human sedative Starmer’s vision for a Britain where we aim to abolish the need for Foodbanks, rather than just say how terrible it is that food charities are having to supply more than a million meals a month - because of the diabolical inadequacy of the welfare state. 

Millions of people got off their backsides to vote for Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 because he offered hope, and a clear vision of how we can achieve a more decent and equal society. 

Ed Miliband’s pro-austerity Labour picked up 9.3 million votes in 2015. Just 2 years later, Jeremy Corbyn’s anti-austerity Labour picked up a whopping 12.8 million votes, and forced the ghoul, Theresa May, into cobbling together a coalition of homophobic hate preachers, scary racist relics, and the DUP. 

Does the Tory plant Starmer think he can win the next election by being the not Boris Johnson candidate? It won’t work, assuming Johnson is still leading the Tories into the next general election - a prospect that is looking increasingly unlikely as each day passes. 

And even if Johnson does survive that long, Carrie will have triplets, Johnson will help the US bomb a few more oil-rich states, in the name of global peace, and who knows, Liz might decide to call time on her reign, what with all of those £12 million bungs she needs to pay to the people her son Andrew has ‘never met’ before. 

And that will inevitably lead to the gormless Johnson sympathisers coming out in force to say, “leave him alone, he’s trying his best”, just like they did throughout his Covid catastrophe that has resulted in one of the highest fatality rates in the world. 

Stitch-up Starmer’s biggest and possibly only real selling point is the simple fact that he isn’t Boris Johnson. Beyond that he is no more than sharp suits, shit soundbites and countless broken promises. 

Again, supporters of the ennobled Labour leader, prove me wrong. Show me how Captain Poptart Starmer has made “the moral case for socialism” - because that is what your leader committed to - word for word - when he was lying through his teeth seeking votes from the Labour Party membership. 

Keir Starmer is without moral rectitude. He is a deceiver, utterly duplicitous, a political confidence trickster, and he surrounds himself with equally iniquitous and unvirtuous carpetbaggers, warmongers, and anti-socialist Machiavellian pantomime characters, such as the weasel Streeting. 

How on earth can these unconscientious red Tories expect you to get behind yet another establishment flag-bearing beige bore that only sounds better when his mouth is closed? 

I hate to break it to you, but Keir Starmer is the human equivalent of a participation award. It is absolutely impossible to underestimate him. You have seen it for yourself, he is boring and incredibly bland - if Starmer was a seasoning he would be flour. 

And can I just point this out to the Keirleaders that find themselves visiting my page today, if I have said anything to offend you it has been purely intentional. 

Tory enablers. 

I’ve witnessed some rather strange things online this week, from well-meaning people being slaughtered by the Crayon-wielding Twitter trolls for sending out free slow cookers to the poor, to the sight of Keir Starmer turning up in Coventry to sneer at its people.

Then you had the Adam Smith Institute - one of those think-tanks from the Grimes batshit right - suggesting we privatise the moon. 

Despite being a vociferous opponent of privatisation, if it means we can put Johnson, Starmer, Liz, £12m Andrew - and all of the other super-wealthy born-to-rule hypocrites that remain the greatest obstacle to a kinder and fairer society - onto a bloody great big space rocket, with a (tax) FREE one way ticket to the moon, I will support it unequivocally.

They can give the contract to Serco and call the rocket HMSS Branson for all I care. If they refuse to tax the rich, and the thought of eating them isn't for you, then let’s send the bastards to a privatised moon, where their lives are in the ‘capable’ hands of Dido Harding. 

See how *they* like it.

I cannot wait to find out the Labour Party position on moon privatisation, although if the other Starmer policy rollouts are anything to go by, I’ll still be waiting in 2024 for an answer. 

In fact, I take that back, we do now know the Labour Party favour shooting alleged terrorists first, and then asking questions after - because corpses are a wonderful source of intelligence. 

But what else do we know about Starmer’s shambolic Labour Party? Genuinely, what on earth do they stand for? Soundbites aren’t policies. 

Nobody expects Starmer to reveal a full manifesto, potentially 2 years before a general election. But is it too much to expect at least an inkling of what and who they stand for? 

From what I’ve seen, Starmer has tried to out-Tory the Tories on crime, he has tried to out-Tory the Tories on corporation tax, and he’s even tried to out-Tory the Tories on flag fornication. 

It’s not like we can be referred back to his ten pledges because they went in the focus group shredder some time ago now, and every time one of his mundane shadow cabinet Starmerbots appears on TV they’ll happily tell you what they don’t stand for, but they’ll never tell you what they do stand for! 

I repeat: “I’m not Boris Johnson” really isn’t going to get us onside. We loathe Johnson, we loathe Starmer. If those 2 establishment bootlickers are the best of the best, we’re absolutely doomed. 

A choice between two opportunistic liars really isn’t a choice for anyone that believes in a fairer, more equal society, yet this is the choice that is presented to you. 

But this is the thing. You expect Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party to be a nasty bunch of bum grapes, because they are the Tory Party of Thatcher, Cameron, and Blair. 

But you expect better from the Labour Party, and you expect moral leadership from their leader. But you didn’t get that, instead you were betrayed by a chancer with a false prospectus. 

That’s why it hurts. That’s why we will not support Keir Starmer, because when it comes to them and us, he is one of them, and let’s not pretend otherwise.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think any of us expected a socialist revolution under the guidance of the monotonous knight of the realm, but we did expect something that resembled a Labour Party that unashamedly represented the many. 

The quisling Starmer cannot even mutter the word “socialism” through fear of being demonised by the British media. He plans to go further in the coming days by ditching a vast majority, if not all of the policies put forward by Jeremy Corbyn. 

A Democratic socialist party that cannot find room for socialist policies, socialists, or former party leaders is futile expendable detritus. 

I continue to urge socialists to look at other worthy causes to support, because you have been utterly betrayed by this gutless Labour Party and the sycophantic Starmer, to the point of where the Labour leader is considering a ‘non-aggression pact’ with the austerity-enabling Liberal Democrats. 

This doesn’t “get the Tories out”. Having 2 centre-right establishment clowns calling the shots merely extends the misery for the next generation. No Tories are welcome here, blue, yellow, or red. 

Keir Starmer, a man with the backbone of a chocolate eclair, is still the establishments useful idiot, which means he serves absolutely no purpose to us whatsoever.

Until next time,
