Keir Starmer's time is up

[PR1Berske]

This rightwing reactionary Tory cunt Rachel Reeves is well known for her hatred of ‘benefit scroungers’ and we remember her bragging that she would be tougher than the Tories on ‘welfare cheats’. She also got her House of Commons expenses credit card cancelled after she racked up a > £4k debt on it. Worthless lump of fucking shit.

I've had this bookmarked for years:

Labour will be tougher than Tories on benefits, vows Rachel Reeves

New shadow work and pensions minister says party will cut welfare bill and force long-term unemployed to take up work offers or lose support

Is this about her transphobia? I hear she's been living 200 miles away from her constituency (Canterbury) in Wales I think. Wouldn't surprise me if she joined the Tories or the LibDems, not that there's too much difference between them and Labour at all.

Her constituency party are also losing ground to the Greens and recently lost (Gorrel) Whit central to them. Can't see Cant staying Lab.

apparently not:
"just to be clear, this issue in no way relates to my stance on women's rights. I need support from the @UKLabour in Kent and against the constant stream of fictional and factional bile that is written about me."

iirc duffield won Canterbury on an amazing swing in 2017 and had a huge heap of people come out from all over the country to campaign for her in 2019, at which point she bagged the leadership immediately before the election and has fucked around in various ways ever since

she knows she doesn't win in 2024

according to the Guardian her other half is filming a documentary on Wrexham FC, after they were taken over by Deadpool and a bloke from "Its always sunny in Philadelphia".

I'll give him this. He's actually giving a pretty good response to Johnson's 'sorry but it wasn't totally my fault and isn't the vaccine rollout great' statement.

Yeah, that wasnt bad, now shit head is bringing up jimmy savile, wow what the actual fuck

If the much touted forensic lawyerliness is good for anything at all it should be this shouldn't it. If he can't manage to land a few here then he really is totally pointless.

Dead Cat, innit.

So was he involved in the drug taking that Johnson's accused his front bench of? I think we should be told, with evidence. Would be slander wouldn't it if there weren't parliamentary privilege, it should be repeated outside parliament.

It will probably turn out that Keir once took slightly more paracetamol than the leaflet said he should.

Alternatively he once simulated the construction of a Camberwell carrot during a Withnail-themed public prosecutors party.

Utterly shocking story

Starmer rescued from angry demonstrators by police​

Keir Starmer has been put into a police car after being surrounded by protesters near the Houses of Parliament, the Sun’s Jack Elsom reports.



A Labour source says the people having a go at Starmer were anti-vaxx demonstrators.




People actually wanted to talk to Starmer! Whatever next?

ach, beat me by seconds!

Stirred up by Johnson's shameless repetition of the far right slur.

Stirred up by Johnson's shameless repetition of the far right slur.

If we stretch the comparisons of Johnson to Trump, then the media could yet turn this into Johnsons equivalent of idiots storming the Capitol building after being stirred up by Trump.

 

[PR1Berske]

Was about to post the same tweet.

Very unsavoury scenes.

 

[magneze]

If nothing else, another couple of letters of no confidence may go in as a result.

Tbf, it's been reported that far right groups were celebrating that Johnson had repeated their meme. No one's suggesting that mobbing Starmer is the equivalent of storming the Capitol but it does seem to have been dangerous for the individual in question.

Yes, in the short-term this has the capacity to do at least as much damage to blustercunt.

To be clear, I want the media and others to use that sort of framing.

Guardian headline is "protestors surround him ..." rather than "anti-vaxxers surround him ..." I note

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting it was an overreaction. I don't think it was, either. It feels like just the start of something ugly.

Even anti-vaxxers can be protestors
