Quoting Dan Hind in @openDemocracy
“But a 2024 @UKLabour govt committed to the #Blair-#Thatcher status quo, which refuses to meet the #UK’s accumulating crises with a programme equal to it, will only aid a nativist and authoritarian #Right that offers its own, hallucinatory solutions.
Our likely trajectory, absent fundamental reform, is one that discredits the centre-left in government and empowers the extreme right in opposition.
In these circumstances, our best option at the next general election must be a mobilisation that puts as many ecosocialists and sincere left Keynesians into Parliament as possible. Our priority should be to maximise the number of MPs willing to argue for replacing Thatcherism with a new green and democratic settlement.
Once we grasp that, the question then becomes technical: how?”
[..]
“If we can create the means for voters to communicate among ourselves in pursuit of our shared interests, if we then act with some fraction of the right’s energy and daring, with some fraction of their budget, we can begin to create a new economic and political settlement before the old impoverishes and demoralises even more of us. If we wait meekly for a #Starmer landslide, we will get nothing, and deserve less”

“Even Laura #Kuenssberg is concerned that #Labour has gone full-on #tory
by John Shafthauer in @thecanaryuk
“Given the amount of time left between now and the next election, Labour doesn’t just have unbelievable odds of winning; it also has time to set out a progressive policy platform, and to use the absolute state of Tory Britain to sell it.
#Starmer’s not doing that because he doesn’t want to. And the #Tories are worried for the same reason we all should be – namely that the right-wing gravy train is going to be stopping exclusively at Labour’s station for the next few years.”

“#Labour figures took £10,000 gifts from #Google and #YouTube ahead of tax U-turn: Keir #Starmer’s Labour Party backtracked on plan to hike #DigitalServicesTax 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.”

Many #Tories like Cornwall MP “Useless” #Eustice are now seeing the writing on the proverbial electoral wall - likely annihilation at the next election by the carbon-copy #RedTory @UKLabour Party (unless there’s a united #StopStarmer tactical voting effort to ensure he doesn’t get a massive majority)!
Like him, they’re jumping ship into cushy jobs within sectors of the economy they had responsibility to regulate (but largely didn’t) & in businesses within those sectors which they should have ensured were properly held to account but, because we now inhabit a neoliberal ‘plunderland’ of a country, they didn’t either!

Not a very high bar of “leadership” to exceed though, is it?
When Nesrine Malik (in @guardian) describes the system that spewed #Johnson as one “that indulges useless, morally vacuous politicians as long as they don’t threaten to reshape the economy or political culture” she’s also describing one that is indulging Keir (#KidStarver) #Starmer

Just read Rafael #Behr’s piece in today’s #Guardian @guardian: “The Tories are suffering from Dorries syndrome: paranoia steeped in denial”
Behr stood, & still stands (alongside Polly #Toynbee), at the forefront of those who betrayed #Corbyn & who now lionise #Starmer the #KidStarver!
He’s describing a #Tory party that has run out of ideas, is drowning in its fear of admitting its mistakes & is finding “comfort in pursuit of traitors, scapegoats and in conspiracy theory”.
Yet when you read this ⤵️ paragraph, you’d be hard pressed to know which political party he was describing: #Tories @conservatives or #Labour @UKLabour - which also has no serious ideas of how to get Britain out of the mess that we’re in!
“A party that dares not incriminate markets in its analysis of unfairness, and that refuses to grasp the levers of tax-and-spend to engineer equal opportunities, looks instead to grievance rooted in culture and identity. That is the appeal of “anti-woke” campaigns.”

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 #Counterfire @counterfireorg
“#Starmer’s close relationship with the #US state will be a revelation to many. During his tenure [as Director of Public Prosecutions] the #CPS [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 #McKinnon’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.”

In their book “Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt”, @ChrisLynnHedges (#ChrisHedges) & Joe #Saco portray “inverted totalitarianism” as a system where corporations have corrupted & subverted democracy and where economics bests politics. Every natural resource and living being is commodified and exploited by large corporations to the point of collapse as excess consumerism and sensationalism lull and manipulate the citizenry into surrendering their liberties and their participation in government.
In #Britain, inverted totalitarianism is being played out before our eyes as never before because the elites don’t care any more if we, the poles, know what they are doing to us!
The utterly corrupt @conservatives (#Tories) are bought and paid for by #Putin’s #Russia, #Xi’s #China, #binSalman & other assorted oligarchs & despots.
The @UKLabour (#Labour) Party under #KeirStarmer is ‘in hoc’ to the #TrilateralCommission. Also, #Starmer has deliberately lost/ ejected so many of its former ~600k members (and their membership subs) that they’ve had to go, cap in hand, seeking donations from assorted corporate interests who will obviously want their ‘pound of flesh’ should #Labour come to power!
Our first-past-the-post electoral system is designed to entrench the inverted totalitarian system that is our so-called democracy! Nothing will change if #Labour replaces the Tories in the 2024 #GeneralElection - as is currently predicted to happen by a landslide!
Imo, at #UK #Election24:
1. #Tories *must* be destroyed electorally! This looks like a distinct possibility as they have do royally f#cked up pretty much everything! Nothing works in Britain anymore!
2. #Labour u/ ‘Sir’ Keir #KidStarver *cannot* be allowed to gain a #Blair-style landslide majority! #Starmer would use this almost unbridled power to unleash a torrent of illiberal policies on the country
3. Hence we must somehow elect a powerful #Left presence in Parliament to oppose his #NeoLiberal & authoritarian instincts
4. Well-informed, we’ll-organised tactical voting will be key - not just to wipe out the Tories but, crucially, to #StopStarmer

@therightarticle “In blocking the #Left from a visible political presence, in stifling its ideas and creativity in a time of crisis, #Starmer is leaving the field open to the #FarRight. They will be only too eager to highlight and exploit the deficiencies of a soulless @UKLabour - one that pays no more than lip service to resolving #Britain’s problems.
And they will doubtless also scapegoat the usual suspects - not the rich, not those in power, but immigrants, Jews and ‘communists’ - who will be blamed for bringing the #UK to its knees.
Ultimately, the smearing of #Corbyn and the #Labour left will bring about the very things the Labour right and the #EstablishmentMedia claim they seek to avert: Britain will become a darker, more #racist, more authoritarian place.”

Another reason, if any more are necessary, why it’s crucial to #StopStarmer!
“The Return of Tony #Blair: The former British prime minister, who left Downing Street widely unpopular, is back in favor with his party, #Labour, which hopes his political skills can be an advantage as an election nears”
“Mr. Blair, now 70, is graying, thinner and his face a little more gaunt than when he left Downing Street in 2007. But he still effortlessly held the stage as he told the audience that Britain would be in safe hands if Mr. Starmer won the next election.
‘It was like the apostolic succession was being declared,’ said John #McTernan 🤮 a political strategist and onetime aide to Mr. Blair, who added that ‘the chemistry between the two guys made you think they talk a lot and they understand each other.’”
