Keir Starmer's time is up

No mention of Andrew Feinstien though:

FAO: Phil Moorhouse, Graham Hughes, Supertanskii, and the rest of the Labour Social grifters

But like them, you are arguing for voting for Labour under Starmer (or against the Tories, you have not been clear which), indeed claiming that that to do otherwise is supporting the Tories. Starmer and the current Labour Party are the result of that politics.

Or are you now abandoning that position?

 

[teqniq]

Also, excuse the sqwawkbox link but there seems to be some panic resulting near identical press releases from Starmer and Lammy re: Gaza:

Panicked by Feinstein, Starmer and Lammy issue near-IDENTICAL Gaza statements

Candidacy of Jewish left-winger in Starmer’s seat prompts pair to issue statements trying to con pro-Palestinian voters – but they don’t even bother to tweak the wording significa…

Ed Balls shouldn't be on tele every day acting like a news reader rather than a labour grandee and married to a shadow minister, its taking the cunt when the GB lot have politicos act as presenters and its the same with this smirking arsehole.

 

[gosub]

Even when this government is gone, politics is going to remain as toxic, fractious and ultimately impotent.

Fucking depressing

An interesting triumvirate of articles today:

What is Labour’s £28bn green plan – and could it be shelved?

Party’s pledge to invest in a low-carbon economy looks to be at risk amid nervousness over making spending commitments

www.theguardian.com

Labour has one big spending plan, and it is making a hash of it. It must communicate better than this | John McTernan

The only real problem with the green prosperity fund is its name. It is an industrial strategy. Name it plainly and sell it, says political strategist John McTernan

www.theguardian.com

UK risks steep decline without £28bn green economy pledge, Labour warned

Business leader says investment in low-carbon economy is ‘absolute minimum’, a view echoed by other experts

www.theguardian.com

Starmer ‘unwavering’ over Labour green pledge despite claims party dropping it

Labour leader to say move is down to economic uncertainty caused by Tory government, sources reveal

What a pic. Keith looks like he's struggling for a word. Rachel looks like she's trying to summon a demon.

View attachment 411425

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 Policy Foundation, 55 Tufton Street, London, SW1P 3QL:

Heh, the hashtag #TelAvivKeith seems to have consequently gained some popularity:

well I have to post it

Starmer says Gaza fighting ‘must stop now’ and warns against Rafah assault

Labour leader calls for ‘a ceasefire that lasts’ in speech to Scottish party delegates in Glasgow

U-turns can be good, particularly when they're needed on a matter of principle to avoid losing votes

But does he actually believe it or mean it?

 

[two sheds]

I think we'll find that Starmer will be very clear that he's been in favour of a ceasefire from the very start and that he was just quoted out of context.

And any party member who says otherwise is no longer a party member.

'The fighting must stop', eh?

But what fighting?? There's no fighting I can see, just an army massacring civilians, who are running away.

'The massacre must stop', he should have said.

"Fighting" ffs.

He should be reminded of this at every opportunity.

"A siege is appropriate? Cutting off power? Cutting off water?"

"I think that Israel does have that right."

As well as being the man who ushers in the next phase of neo-liberalism, who chooses this moment to abandon green targets, who actively destroys the left and all the rest - he's fucking dull and wooden. He's an incompetent politician who can't meet a member of the public without shitting his pants or looking like he's going to cry. He's the office manager who everyone hates, who bullies you as only a tedious fuck can. He's that rare combination of some kind of Pooterish prat who you'd avoid in the pub and a malicious supervillain. I earnestly wished Johnson would die of Covid and with Kieth, well, just wish he's un-exist. A modern day beige Ramsay MacDonald who makes John Major look like a racy raconteur, a shit stripe on the body politic, a boring gremlin, a fart in a sleeping bag. And every one in his party who chooses to follow his nasty machinations doesn't give a flying fuck about what they are doing to people's lives and to the country. Should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Apart from that you like him?
