“There is, of course, no functional difference – at least for the better – between ‘long-time servant of the security state’ and compulsive promise-breaker Starmer’s red-Toryism and the blue version.”

figures took £10,000 gifts from and ahead of tax U-turn: Keir ’s Labour Party backtracked on plan to hike to 10% after being showered with freebies”

by Adam Ramsay in @openDemocracy

“Labour’s shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, his senior parliamentary assistant (who is his wife), and Keir Starmer’s political director all attended Glastonbury festival in June as guests of YouTube, which is owned by Google. Including accommodation and ‘hospitality’, Reynolds estimates his Glastonbury package for two was worth £3,377 – significantly more than the cost of two regular tickets, which were £335 each.

The next day, reports emerged that Labour had ditched its proposal to hike tax on digital businesses like Google.”

The @guardian undermined democracy by stabbing in the back! Now it’s playing grubby by yet again giving “Keir The Authoritarian ” a free pass! He hasn’t “successfully cornered the market in unthreatening banality” Rafael ! He’s mastered the art of being a ruthless, lying !

In the same context, this ⤵️ extract is taken from “How the right took back control of Labour: The Starmer Project review”

by Terina Hine in @counterfireorg

’s close relationship with the state will be a revelation to many. During his tenure [as Director of Public Prosecutions] the [Crown Prosecution Service] acted ‘as a proxy’ (p.29) for the US State Department overseas, with Starmer himself becoming an envoy for the US Department of Justice.

He forged close links with US Attorney General, Eric Holder, at one point going way beyond his remit by promising to secure Gary ’s extradition – a young man who, while looking for evidence of UFOs, hacked into US military databases.

Eagleton describes Starmer’s ‘fury’ (p.31) with [former UK Prime Minister] Theresa May when, as Home Secretary, she stopped the extradition. In one heart-rending passage Eagleton quotes McKinnon’s mother after she met Starmer to plead her son’s case.

In it she tells of Starmer’s response to her pleas: ‘I’m feeling very uncomfortable,’ said Mr Starmer. ‘Speaking to you is making me feel very uncomfortable’ (p.30). His lack of interest and concern in her son could not have been more transparent.”

“After years of abandoned pledges under Keir ’s @UKLabour Party leadership, the party is now watering down its promises to strengthen employment rights. Labour is siding with employers over workers.”

via Karl Hansen in @jacobinbot

“Labour has consistently enjoyed twenty-point-plus leads in the opinion polls. The Party is utterly exhausted and despised after thirteen years of austerity, a botched pandemic response, repeated scandals, and the worst cost-of-living crisis in living memory.

In this context, ditching workers’ rights policies would be, at best, a staggering act of political cowardice. At worst, it would demonstrate that Labour has sided with exploitative employers and will do little to address the poverty, insecurity, and inequality that blight the nation. We await confirmation that this is the trajectory — but the latest evidence is bleak indeed.”

(Oh Mr Porter
)
Oh Keir Starmer, what can I do?

I've voted Labour all my life

And in twenty-nineteen too

I didn’t know you and I were

Just anti-semitic schmucks

Oh Sir Keir Starmer I’m left thinking

What the fuck?

@Marverde @RobinKey The '70%' comment isn't in it's context here. What he said was, in principle he favours Remain ... But with reform. To maintain the inaccuracy allows those, like Starmer and MSM to continue their spin. Remember, Starmer was the architect of the Labour Party's EU/Brexit policy, with catastrophic consequences for the UK, not only that, he stood side by side with Corbyn during

Mike Gapes admitting that Starmer is a duplicitous liar. So why should voters believe a word Starmer says?

Corbyn was, indeed, right.
His fully costed manifestos (note to @RachelReevesMP@twitter.com who seems to have forgotten) were a step towards a fairer society and national services to be proud of.
Time for a new party because are still Tories
