No one will miss Keir Starmer, who announced his resignation today, but it won’t save Labour, whose senior leadership all share his complicity in genocide and vile authoritarianism.
It was Farage. In 2019 Corbyn had put a second Brexit vote on the table with remain as an option so Farage withdrew candidates from 317 Tory seats, to “save Brexit”. In 2024 with Starmer's Brexit red lines Farage bled over 4 million votes from the Tories. That gave Starmer his landslide.
Well well, thanks for the reminder, Heracles. I’d forgotten that. Farage really has been the most poisonous presence in British politics for such a long time, hasn’t he?
Thanks, Derek. The upper echelons of the Labour Party really do think we’re stupid, don’t they, and that we won’t notice when nothing changes except that the front man doesn’t look quite so much like a barely animated block of lard.
It is indeed, J C. And it’s particularly troubling that the so-called centrists, or liberals are so complicit - Biden and his administration, Chuck Schumer right now (and other influential Democrats) as well as Labour in the UK.
Language in corporate land gets very weird. Labor party? Democrats? “This is water.” “No it’s concrete.” “It’s water cuz it’s blue!” “That’s just paint.” “No. It’s water, I have a gun.” “OK. It’s water.” “Have a nice day.”
Can't quarrel with a word of that Andy. (You are 'Battle Of The Beanfield' Andy Worthington yes?)
For the time being I am content to await seeing Lammy and Reeves, at the very least, being discarded, and hope to see far fewer lawyers in leading positions. Will that help... unlikely, really.
Reversing the technocratic advances of the last decade, piloted on us all during cronyvirus, is essential.
Whether or not Israel is an it or a her is interesting. But not as central as it might appear.
Good to hear from you, and yes, I am the ‘Battle of the Beanfield’ Andy Worthington, still trying to keep that particular injustice alive in people’s minds.
No doubt there’ll be changes in the Labour Cabinet, when a new leader is duly anointed, but, as I say, unless they all go (I might make an exception for Ed Miliband), it will be exactly the same authoritarian, blood-soaked sh*tshow as it is now!
Good riddance. He will be punished by the people for his insane open border policy, DEI and SOGI in schools, inflation, as well as letting repeat offenders on bail.

Perfect analysis. Burnham is a vomit inducing Labour friend of the genocidal squat

The world is in a mess.

Excellent, Mike. Thanks for that.
