Shammer has no values beyond look after number 1, and precious little competence

Yes but those are the values and competence that Britain desperately needs

IMO events in Gaza could derail Starmer's attempts to be a government in waiting.

There are around 15 or so Labour MPs who are Muslims. The article below shows how the current situation could cause internal problems within Labour:

And of course it isn't only Muslims who won't be happy with Starmer's support for the horrors in Gaza and its going to make their persecution of Corbyn supporters for supporting Palestine look very bad.

The fact is, 6% of the country is Muslim and they are politically overrepresented within the Labour Party. Support for what could turn out to be a genocide against the Palestinians will almost certainly throw Labour into renewed chaos.

Christ that's practically begging to be a panel in a V for Vendetta prequel. So my guess is Norsefire.

This is it.

Pursue masked protesters more vigorously, CPS says

Telephone and computer records should also be checked to see if there is evidence of planning violent or illegal disturbances, the advice drawn up by the director of public prosecutions (DPP), Keir Starmer QC, states.

Prosecutors are also being urged to work more closely with the police to examine social network sites.

So, not even if there's reason to believe there's such evidence, just "to see if there is."

Starmer getting a shoeing for this (read the comments). Lots of people quite rightly pointing out that only a few days ago he was standing behind Israel's decision to cut off electricity, water and food supplies; a war crime in international law. Has now backtracked but only after Tory MP Crispin Blunt said UK could be legally complicit in war crimes:

More importantly 19.7% of his electorate are Muslim, and just about all of them that we have encountered on the street are extremely angry with him. They also are a pretty well organised community. That's at least 12,000 votes against him right there. There are even more students. Tuition fees anybody? We know where the students are, we know where the Muslim community are and who their organisers are. He has spent his time as leader of the Labour Party turning his constituents against him. Forget what happens in the rest of the country. Starmer doesn't get re-elected as an MP... and he has nobody to blame but himself. Of course it will be blamed on the left anyway.

Good point. Yeah him losing his seat sounds plausible.

 

[Plumdaff]

Isn't he in one of the safest Labour seats? Much as I'd be delighted I can't see it happening.

This is why IMO Jeremy Corbyn should stand in Starmer's constituency (no obviously he won't but should should should)

Maybe I'll get a petition going. Jezza loves petitions.

 

[Karl Masks]

a labour win and a starmer loss would be hilarious. You could hear them laughing hard from Islington North

 

[two sheds]

Well it looks like labour membership went from 200,000 to near 600,000 under Corbyn so you'd imagine there's a fair few disillusioned labour voters out there.

Looks like the Labour leadership is in full panic mode.

 

[steveseagull]

Massive massive panic over losing entire councils. Damage already done.

A dilemma: does Starmer ask Israel to stop killing people and become an anti-semite through to the next election?

Looks like the Labour leadership is in full panic mode.

It doesn't really feel like it should be that hard to say Hamas did terrible things, the Israeli government is doing terrible things and we want it all to stop and for civilians to be protected.

Sadly agree but it would be fun!

Hard for the likes of Starmer who, since his time as DPP has shown himself to have a nasty, authoritarian streak. I really hope this all blows up in his face tbh.
