well I have to post it https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/18/keir-starmer-gaza-fighting-must-stop-now-warns-against-rafah-assault U-turns can be good, particularly when they're needed on a matter of principle to avoid losing votes :thumbs:

...clean power target rather than miss it and say it was out of their control. To combat a shortage of affordable housing, party leader Keir Starmer announced a target of building 1.5 million new homes over the course of the next parliament Every government promises this and then fails to...

Those are 2 separate things. The quote says they were outspent not that they were in a bad financial situation. Focusing on getting the party out of debit could be why they got outspent. It gives a misleading impression, but itnl is not clear if it is untrue.

Sprayed on a synagogue, it's antisemitic in intent. Sprayed on Keir Starmer's car, it isn't. I can't comment on the everyday experiences of Jewish people in the UK, other than to say that they will vary a lot. But the likes of Starmer, the Jewish Chronicle and everyone else conflating...

So this thread doesn't get a lot of love eh! Nevertheless I was particularly taken by the following bare-faced lie, from Keir Starmer and big business, a love story Like Jfc you can criticise Corbs for a lot of things, but failing to maintain Labour's financial health and donor base was not...

It has now been reported that shortly before the abandonment of the Labour Party's pledge to spend £28bn a year on 'green investment', the shadow chancellor’s office accepted a financial donation from The Lord Donoughue (also known as Bernard Donoughue), a former director of The Global Warming...

You got me thinking of what Milord Keir's musical tastes must be and sure enough it turns out he was on Desert Island Discs. Starts off with a decent bit of Northern Soul, but the rest is (predominantly) as beige as you'd expect. You can't object to the Grenfell song he has on last, but that's...

I think that "Keir Starmer has changed Labour so that it is unrecognisable from the party of 2019" line is an underappreciated aspect of this whole shitshow. He certainly has, for one thing the party of 2019 had an MP in Rochdale. "Vote for a sex pest who's running for RefUK because he's just...

Labour has suspended their election candidate for the Hyndburn constituency. From The Guardian:

(((invertebrates))) Octopuses can be quite plucky.

I agree, Labour North West is hardly a hot bed of dissent and is more likely to be generally Starmer loyal than Starmer out with the party municipal machine influential and connected. It is not clear to me what the status of this meeting was tbh. It could have been an ad-hoc meeting of Labour...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/13/azhar-ali-labour-handling-rochdale Proper shitshow.

What will tomorrow's line be on this? 'This shows how serious Keir Starmer is about rooting out... how he puts what is right before party interest....'. Some poor sod is going to have to do the rounds parroting this shit. Though of course anyone willing to parrot Starmer on anything is a...

Incidentally, the Guardian are running this as their main headline Unless I've missed something, the offending words were Whether he's right or wrong, that's a classic case of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

Forest Fire Latest: Starmer Still Refuses to Call Fire Brigade Keir Starmer has today reaffirmed his refusal to call on the fire brigade to extinguish the forest fire that has been raging for the past four months, leading to unprecedented loss of life. “It is no good simply pouring water on...

Very well said.

...condemn Russian atrocities and help arm Ukraine and call for a ceasefire... Yet by way of contrast, former human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer failed to condemn Israel's collective punishment, ie war crimes. Why is that Labour will support white Europeans but not brown Middle Eastern...
