Any leader on the left needs the spine to fight back against the rags as they ramp up the smear machine. Zack has it, together with a solid media strategy that can counter their nonsense

Political messaging that is rooted in the left, articulates the true cause and real enemy that deserves the anger instead. Messaging that counters the racist narratives that Starmer’s Labour keep dialling up. Zack nails it all.

Starmer was more than happy to fundraise off the back of the abuse suffered by Diane Abbott. Sickening treatment. Clear hierarchy of racism in this he institutionally racist Labour Party

The same war crimes enabling Keir Starmer quoting Enoch Powell is so comfortable suspending Diane Abbott for speaking about clear experiences of racism

If we had any decent journalism, they’d be asking Starmer what Labour’s done to address the Forde report, and their attempted silencing of Forde

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · Jul 17

Diane was the first black woman ever to be elected.

She's spent a lifetime fighting racism and she's the mother of the house.

This will be her legacy.

What's yours, Keir?

Labour has an approval rating of what, like 12%. And out here purging morally brave dissenters. Insecure clowns everywhere but the writing was on the wall well before this became reality

A weak, petulant man, Starmer can only rule by fear. Punishing those for objecting to his plans to push hundreds of thousands more into poverty.

It’s high time that voters and remaining principled MPs realise the Labour Party is long finished and collective organising starts now

P.O.V. is insane, and back to back with So Be It is crazy. Entire Clipse album is a straight play through every time. Production is elite, features are top tier, Pusha T and Malice flows are captivating #LetGodSortEmOut #SoBeIt

The fact Starmer went through loss and still doubled down with his authoritarian and draconian dehumanising policies should tell you the truth about him instead of this boot licking nonsense.

And the nonsense about the Enoch Powell reference, do me a favour. UK journalism forever reaching new lows

Starmer calling on Iran to return to the negotiating table after Israel murdered their previous negotiators amidst diplomatic talks. Continuous support for a genocidal state, hell is not hot enough for Starmer and his complicit govt

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · Jun 22

I don't think anyone expected him to say anything better.

But he'd probably have been better maintaining his usual silence.

Iran were negotiating - when Israel launched a war on them. The US joined in - and now our Prime Minister basically says "well they were asking for it.'

We had the MoD admitting they are actively training Israeli military - actively participating in genocide.

We need a full and independent inquiry into Starmer and the Govt’s role in genocide immediately. Allowing Israel to commit war crime after war crime has led to these reckless strikes

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · Jun 13

Israel is out of control.

And it has been for a long time.

For Starmer to talk about de-escalation whilst continuing to support a genocide is increasingly absurd - and dangerous.

Amol Rajan is such a dusty weak link in the community. Forget his rivers of speech nonsense for a min, he named his kid after Winston Churchill. You cannot shame the shameless

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · May 20

As the UN's humanitarian chief warns that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza within the next 48 hours without aid, I am remembering Amol Rajan telling Gary Lineker: "the BBC as a whole needs to be impartial about it".

Matt Walsh @mattwalshjourno.bsky.social · May 14

Also, I'm in my mid-50s and Powell made this speech before I was born. I suspect for most voters he's a little known, perhaps even unknown, figure. So who are Starmer's critics targeting with the reference? Apart from those in the Westminster village and academia...

Robert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · May 14

Starmer's language was deplorable.

It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.

But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

A$AP Choppy @chops8592.bsky.social · May 13

The country continues to fall apart and at least 3 political parties, plus the media, are telling us to blame immigrants. Starmer’s also helping to shift rhetoric to just blaming ethnic minorities

We need a bold unflinching left party leader to counter these narratives and so far that’s only Zack
