Don’t bottle it Starmer.

There is tsunami of criticism from the right wing media and their fanboys and girls for what you said at conference.

Your speech gave us hope.

Expose Farage & his band of racists, xenophobes & fascist grifting Putin apologists.

The majority are behind that strategy.

Richard Tice during an interview "Keir Starmer literally used the words: take up arms and go for the enemy"

What a lemon

Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that.

Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot.

Make your mind up.

I’ve just seen a video of a white male at the demonstration today , calling for Keir Starmer to be assassinated. He then says, he needs to be shot.

I hope this man is arrested.

Dark dark times ahead. These thugs think they have taken over our streets.

Am I proud to be British? No the fvck I’m not. These absolute cvnts draped in the St George flag are out looking for a fight cosplaying as British ‘patriots’.
There’s nothing patriotic about them & to think we’ve all been held to ransom by people like this for the last 15 years+ makes my piss boil.

Greens.....all are bitter Corbynites who left Labour, your party is now not fit for purpose, you have been hijacked by the looney hard left!

It never fails to amaze me how self important, self absorbed journalists think that they know everything & we know nothing & they regale us with their opinions, They constantly churn out utter rubbish like this, sorry Mr McGee but you are seriously WRONG, this is pure nonsense!

Is Nigel Farage already running Britain?

My latest substack on what might be the most depressing thought for Starmer as he celebrates his first year in office: Farage is calling so many of the shots in British politics and no one is pushing back.

Is Nigel Farage already running Britain?
A year into Starmer's premiership, is he facing the same troubles as David Cameron?

Ex Tory MP Steve Baker is calling for ‘a safety net’ for MP’s who lose their jobs???

Poor diddums says it’s hard to get a job when you’re so well known?

The same Steve Baker, who voted for every single austerity measure on the people of this country.

Mr Baker, go fuck yourself!

Cummings and Farage deserve each other. They’re both utterly ignorant, they’re both boring and predictable, and they both suffer the precise flaws of those they lambast inews.co.uk/opinion/cumm...
Cummings and Farage deserve each other: they represent the last throes of a decrepit past
Here we have two images of the same personality

Interesting polling from YouGov on who’d make the best PM.

Farage loses to every other major party leader including Davey.

▪️Starmer beats Farage by 44% to 29%
▪️Starmer’s lead over Kemi Badenoch as best Prime Minster is 36% to 25%
▪️Britons prefer Badenoch as Prime Minister to Farage by 29% to 25%

Starmer is only unpopular with the people who are angry opponants because he is proving to be so successful at every thing he does!!!

Given how unpopular Starmer is this is quite a reflection on Farage and Badenoch.

It is not a U turn, for heavens sake why can our journalists not get the simple facts correct?

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

Not main point but very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg keeps on talking about the "child benefit cap" in *tax credits* (it's Universal Credit, and has been for most claimants for some time).

Reflects both very poor briefing *and* her complete ignorance of the topics she asks questions about..

Everyday I read countless comments about the state of the UK NHS, well, I've just spent 3 weeks in hosp with Cholecystitis (a severe infection of my gallbladder) & I cannot praise the doctors & nurses enough they were above excellent, they deserve their weight in gold!

Carrie has done her bit and produced another child with Johnson, making nine that we know about. Imagine if this was a couple living in an inner city council estate.

Blast furnaces need proper coked coal - that means coke ovens. Labour tried to save Redcar’s ovens in 2015, the best in the UK, but the Tories shut it down. Now their Torygraph mates spin the bullshit while real industry got scrapped. These liars dare talk up steel like Tories didn’t kill it?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I believe Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock murdered 40,000 people in Care Homes by sending patients infected with Covid from hospital back into Care Homes with no checks or precautions.

I demand a trial.
