Keir Starmer: Awfully Predictable And Utterly Irrelevant

Let’s crack on. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and a peaceful Boxing Day. If you’re still hungover, two days after the event, your body is trying to tell you something, apparently. 

Boris Johnson wanted you to sit down after your Christmas dinner and read his Brexit trade deal. I wonder how many people actually bothered? Keir Starmer certainly didn’t. And do you know why? 

Because what Keir Starmer thinks is utterly irrelevant, much like the man himself. 

Boris Johnson has an eighty seat majority. Starmer can order his cult to tango their way through the voting lobbies, dressed in their Sunday best, and it will not make the blindest bit of a difference. 

Johnson’s Brexit deal will pass through the House. Starmer could whip his cult to within an inch of their precious careers, and it still won’t change anything. 

Starmer has made clear that he accepts absolutely no responsibility for the deal that he is voting for. Yes, a lawmaker, trying to wash his hands of any accountability. If you vote for it, you accept responsibility for it. That’s how it works.

Keith was considered to be a pretty decent barrister back in the day. He was considered to be a leading human rights barrister too. Lol. Ask him his thoughts on the illegal occupation of Palestine.

I’m sure I am not the only person to notice how a supposed detail-heavy QC - renowned for his apparent forensic examinations - agreed to vote for Johnson’s deal without any forensic examination of the 1,200+ page document, without any attention to detail to the small print, and entirely against the will of his FBPE acolytes. 

For all he knows those 1,200 pages could be Boris Johnson’s shopping list for his next trip to Bargain Booze. 

Yes, Starmer would’ve had some detail, because he is a member of the Privy Council, but nowhere near enough information to make an informed, PRINCIPLED decision. 

But let’s face it, Starmer doesn’t do principles, because his principles are the exclusive property of the highest bidder.

We didn’t have to have a hard Brexit, and yes, you can blame Boris Johnson for bringing back absolutely nothing. 

But Johnson wouldn’t be in the position to bring back that nothing of a deal had Starmer, Watson, and a whole host of other inadequate fucking wasters not intentionally sabotaged and falsely smeared the previous Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Go check the history for yourself. Corbyn’s Labour were 5-8 points ahead of Theresa May’s Conservatives, because they liked the socialist policies, such as public ownership and getting the very wealthiest to pay a little more tax for the greater good, and most importantly - at the time - Labour respected the referendum result. 

And then, this happened. The ultimate act of sabotage. And it happened because Starmer sniffed out an opportunity to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn and cement his own position as the leading candidate to replace him.

Jeremy Corbyn, Karie Murphy, Ian Lavery, and other leading figures from the left stressed the importance of going through with the result of the referendum. I voted Remain, I campaigned for Remain, but they were absolutely right. 

On the other side you had Starmer, Tom Watson, and a huge number of the Parliamentary Labour Party insisting we pursue a People’s Vote - a second referendum. 

While not agreeing with Mr Corbyn’s position, Starmer, as the shadow Secretary of State for exiting the EU, was responsible for following our stated policy. Conference had agreed our position.

Starmer and Watson didn’t give a shit about a second referendum. Now, you might tell me they attended rallies, professing their love for all things EU, but their only objective was to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn. The People’s Vote campaign was the vehicle’s, Starmer did a carjacking, and he ran Corbyn over. 

Now this doesn’t apply to all of the FBPE supporters, let me be clear on that point, but allow me to be honest enough to say their movement was hijacked by the anti-Corbyn mob, headed up by snakes like Tom Watson, and their interest in retaining our position in the European Union was similar to my interest in the history of the Bayeux Tapestry. 

In other words, non-existent. 

Back to Labour’s Brexit position - which consisted of a Customs Union, close alignment to the single market, and your human rights protected. This involved leaving the EU. This position was agreed by everyone that mattered.

This was the very agreement Starmer himself negotiated in talks with the EU. Starmer was fully aware that anything more ‘Remainy’ than this would utterly destroy the Labour Party, particularly in the Northern heartlands known as the red wall. 

He knew it, we knew it, Corbyn, Murphy and Lavery knew it. 

So why would Keith quite literally go off-script and decide to go against the wishes of the party leadership, and declare that Labour was the Party of Remain? This was a nuclear option. The second referendum was the last card on the table, not the first. Starmer fucked it. He absolutely fucked it. 

Starmer deprived millions of us of a radical, progressive, socialist government. He has ensured kids go hungry, he has ensured rough sleepers continue to die on our streets, he has ensured the NGS will get opened up to deeper private sector involvement, and he did this all under the guise of being an EU flag-waving Remainer. 

Utterly unforgivable. If you considered yourself to be a supporter of the ‘Corbyn project’, but you still think Keith is acting in the best interests of the country, or even the Labour Party, you are a deeply confused individual. 

Starmer’s rapid change to devout leaver is no shock to anyone who has been following things closely. You only need to keep an eye on staffing appointments and you will get an idea of the direction Starmer is looking to drag the Party. 

It wasn’t that long ago that Keir Starmer was demanding any Brexit deal needed to pass six tests - now he can’t bring himself to back Johnson’s “thin” deal, without true scrutiny, much quicker if he tried.

On the deal itself, I would fully expect Northern Labour MPs to support the deal - simply because many of them have always been steadfast in their opinion that we should be leaving the European Union. 

But what excuse do the devout Remainers have? Where have they’re principles suddenly gone? Week in, week out they would be demanding Mr Corbyn get behind and endorse their People’s  Vote campaign. But Corbyn knew. Despite being an MP representing a London constituency, he got out and had conversations with people. He isn’t and wasn’t one of the Liberal Elite. 

Jeremy wanted to win an election, he had enough conversations to convince him that backing a second referendum would obliterate the Labour Party. 

Corbyn was right. 

While the People’s Vote rallies marched through London, singing “where’s Jeremy Corbyn”, the man himself was busy defeating the government in the Commons more times than any other leader of the opposition in history. He was winning the battles, forcing the U-Turns, and he was leading the polls, until Starmer’s treacherous intervention. 

Have any of them acknowledged Corbyn was right? Have they acknowledged Karie Murphy got it absolutely spot on? Of course they haven’t. They wouldn’t have the courage. They’re cowards.

When Corbyn said he had won the argument, he wasn’t wrong, was he. That’s not a question, simply an acknowledgment of facts. 

One thing you can learn from Starmer’s remarkable conversion from centrist Dad with a thing for Brussels to a Poundshop Nigel Farage with a thing for statues, is the fact you simply cannot trust Keir Starmer. 

Like Johnson, he will be whatever you want him to be, if the price is right. The former Labour leader has more principles in his marrows - he wasn’t for sale, at any price, and he certainly would walk towards Murdoch and Rothermere with his arms wide open. 

Starmer has the spine of a jellyfish, no moral compass, and could well end up being one of the ‘great’ political chameleons of our time. 

Britain doesn’t need one Tory Party, never mind 2 of them. Social conservatism is a part of the problem, and absolutely no part of the solution.

Starmer caused this hard Brexit. As I have said repeatedly, it didn’t have to be this way. How he votes on it is now irrelevant, because people will remember him as the leading light behind the second referendum campaign. 

I’ll bloody well make sure of it my friends.
