Keir Starmer has taken to lashing out at Nigel Farage. But his real enemy isn’t Farage, it’s the state of the country, writes Andrew Adonis.

Why is Starmer focusing so much on Farage?

The prime minister’s real enemy isn’t Reform—it’s the state of the country

That is deceitful. We've had enough of dishonest politicians. The local press should give this some publicity and ask him exactly why he has switched colours. We know the answer but hearing it from him would be helpful.

Interestingly, my local #Labour MP, #AlexMcIntyre, has distributed leaflets in a #Green colour. Conveniently, he seems to have omitted any mention of the party he represents! 🙄

Didn't the #Tories do the same before the last GE? It's a bit decietful, IMHO.

A leaflet from Labour MP, Alex McIntyre in a green colour similar to the Green Party's colour. He fails to mention which party he represents.

#Starmer and his front bench can plainly see that proscribing PA and arresting protesters is wrong, so why are they doing it? Checks notes - ISRAELI ORDERS

It's very amusing to hear Gary Neville blame White Middle Aged Racists for hanging flags.

Then Jeremy Kyle, Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson and Joey Barton act all offended.

Yes he was talking about you.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

While Labour and the Tories busily worry about Nigel Farage, the Greens are looking at how to make Britain better for the vast majority.
Polls show that Labour's actually losing far fewer voters to Reform than to the Greens. With @zackpolanski.bsky.social offering real hope, you can see why.

Oh Lewis.

You could only say this if you had been in a coma for 15 years.

The Veruca Salt of British Politics just ignores the past, that includes things she has said recently.

Policies that consist of sound bites.

Thatcher instigated our downfall, just as her mate, Reagan, did for USofA. Cameron, who shld be locked up but is in the house of the gravy train, sent us further downhill with that referendum. He didn’t call for a referendum to help the people, he called for it in his own and his party’s interests.

So £47 billion of savings while cutting out the revenue sources of 2.5 years NI contributions and stamp duty. A year out of office and the Tories have learnt nothing.

Hugo Gye is right to discuss 'Britain is broken' but, much as I dislike Starmer (& I've left Labour because of him) it's not his fault. All those years of tory misrule & dishonesty have left a great mess.
Yet all Starmer had to do was START by helping the disadvantaged. He didn't.

For the first time since April, Nigel Farage has declared his income from second jobs. I've not entered it into our system yet, but this will definitely take him over £1million in additional earnings since the election

Things that deserve to be cut is Religious funding and lobbying, the Military industrial complex, corporate monopolies, the corporate news media and AI investment. All the things Tories, Labour and Reform supports that harms ordinary people.
