Starmer, the "forensically gifted" former DPP & fiscally responsible Labour leader and his team have squandered MILLIONS in their bitter factional war v the left.
They have settled (expensively) cases they would have easily won.
They have fought (expensively) cases they were never going to win.
Soon, they will be attempting to manage UK finances.
Slowly, the dirty smears & lies of the war v Corbyn are being revealed.
TV-Duell in Großbritannien: Überraschungsangriff und vage Positionen
Ungewohnt aggressiv ging Premier Sunak Herausforderer Starmer im ersten TV-Duell vor der britischen Parlamentswahl an. Der fand kein Gegenmittel. Was bedeutet das für den Wahlkampf? Von F. Hoppen.
Future Labour govt’s greatest source of weakness is its leader
Since election as leader, Starmer has proven to have a dishonesty almost unrivalled in modern politics. Never forget the almost immediate reneging on campaign pledges or denial of his comments in support of the Israeli government’s right to cut power & aid for Gaza
"The future Labour government’s greatest source of weakness is its leader. Since his election to the party’s leadership in 2020, #Starmer has proven himself to have a dishonesty almost unrivalled in modern politics. We must never forget the almost immediate reneging on campaign pledges or his denial of making comments in support of the Israeli government’s “right” to cut off power and aid into #Gaza."
Großbritannien: Hitziges TV-Duell zwischen Sunak und Starmer
Vor der Parlamentswahl in Großbritannien liegen die regierenden Konservativen in Umfragen rund 20 Prozentpunkte zurück. Im ersten TV-Duell zeigte sich Amtsinhaber Sunak kämpferisch und attackierte seinen Herausforderer, Labour-Oppositionsführer Starmer, immer wieder. Von G. Biesinger.
On @Eceni's #AccidentalGods podcast this week, someone (I think it was @Eceni herself) described #Starmer's cabal as 'Stalinist'. I don't think this is right, but I think it's pretty close. I think they're more Leninist.The unprincipled pursuit of power at any price, the ruthless factionalism, the bad-faith negotiation, the mean-spirited opportunism are all very Bolshevik.
Their enemies may fear them, but their friends should fear them more.
If "sir" #starmer wants to build 4 new #nukesubmarines in Barrow, he should arrange to have the completed vessels to have a permanent base in Barrow or in the Thames...
“EU officials have warned that this will mean signing up to Brussels rules and the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which may put at least the spirit of Labour’s red lines under pressure in the eyes of Leave backers.”
So what? Just do it.
Step 1 in rejoining.
“a Starmer government looks likely to come under pressure internally to take up the EU’s offer on youth mobility”
Let's just forget the shit that he is spewing attempting to excuse his use of a private aircraft (which donor is paying and what are they going to want in return?). BTW ‘carbon offset’ illustrates how little the fucker knows
He finishes off with the Gruaniad highlighting the fact that he know nothin about English or Scots Law.
@therightarticle
But she hasn't been selected yet and the NEC have yet to approve or overrule ANY local party selection process. It ain't over till the Hackney lady sings..
I don't trust Starmer OR the NEC.
Not till I've seen the list of those standing produced by the authorities. #DianeAbbott #Labour #Starmer
Q. what does the treatment of much maligned MP Diane Abbot tell us about the Labour Party?
Maurice Mcleod suggests quite a lot, and its not so good....
And just in case you've forgotten, in the run up to the 2017 election nearly half of all offensive & abusive tweets sent to female MPs (and this was a lot of tweets) were sent to Diane Abbot.
So, now it looks like the Labour Party is joining in with the Trolls (albeit more subtly).
@junesim63@ChrisMayLA6 I had to block some utter f-with yesterday who was on the get-on-the-#Starmer train-or-get-left-on-the-platform narrative. It’s like these folks have had a lobotomy. Kept asking me for peer review of my claim that he is a #genocidal#Zionist
It’s depressing when you realise you rightly despise large numbers of your compatriots…
Well there is some opinion - I think largely about where your red lines are. But there are also some facts. There is also the uncomfortable reality that your argument from authority ("the country is about to disagree with me") is philosophically (very) problematic. You can check why yourself no doubt.
Category errors in your argument are that 'new brooms' are good; and that #Starmer is a centrist / his opponents are 'hard-left'; and that we are yearning for the past.
Today, #Labour have extended their poll lead irrespective of new daily policy announcements from the #Tories. It's seems the #UK's had enough of them, & yearns for change regardless of what you think of #Starmer & his changed party.
The UK & Labour are moving forward with or without the hard left. They can either get on-board the Starmer Express, or be left behind on the platform moaning about #Corbyn. The choice is that really that simple.
What #Starmer is saying & doing, is different to his intent. Even the #Tories can see that Starmer's playing them at their own political game, & they can't stop him like they did with the hapless #Corbyn.
Understand this. It's All About power first, then fix 14 years of #Tory decay & mismanagement when in power.
Without power, Labour can talk all it wants, but it CAN'T affect the change the #UK desperately needs or wants in opposition. Some just can't see the obvious. 🤷🏾♂️
"What #Starmer is saying & doing, is different to his intent."
Now that really is a spectacular piece of hope over reality. Each to our own but I think you are delusional.
And I really do not care what he says now, given that he has demonstrated about as categorically as is humanly possible - that nothing he says can be trusted.
And then we have his actions. Thats plenty to disbar him for me. I just can't suppoort a #Geonicdal#Zionist. Never mind the rest.
"He's told us he';s a Zionist. He's supported the genocide. And his double standard for Palestinians, Muslims and Diane are clear evidence of gross racism."
Again, I've respectfully asked you for your empirical, independently verified, peer reviewed evidence for the FOURTH time, & I'm still waiting.
As I said, I'll happily accept you have no evidence & what you claim is merely your personal opinion of #Starmer. Again, over to you... 🤷🏾♂️
Sealioning ... consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance Wikipedia
Thanks for the link. As for the Sealion comment, I can just imagine how asking for evidence & this being used would go down. If people make a claim, they should be prepared to supply the evidence. Next we'll have somebody claiming to be friends with Bigfoot, & using Sealioning as their defence for providing no evidence. 🙄
As for #Starmer's comment, it's very concerning, but also personally understandable because his wife is #Jewish. This aspect has concerned me previously
