He looks like a cunt.
And there’s a reason for that.

Do you think that telling lies to get the promotion you want is the right and proper thing to do?
Keir Starmer does.

Do you think that trumping up invented charges of antisemitism in order to eject your leader because he’s a socialist is a decent way to conduct yourself?
Keir Starmer does.

I am not sure that Labour are a cert to win the next election. Given the shambolic state of the Tories and the increased taxes, bills and mortgages people are paying, you’d think me mad, and perhaps I am - especially when you take the clown-show north of the border into account.
But Labour have no ideas and no policy. Further, Starmer is hated by a significant proportion of people who would normally get out and vote Labour. Speaking of which, the party will have virtually no ground game as a result.
Perhaps these things don’t matter. The Tories don’t have much ground game either but I can’t help thinking this’ll end up a lot closer than we presently think.
As Starmer is just Tory does it matter which party wins
Nothing will change.

I don’t disagree there, but I thik Labour need to shift him to remove all doubt.
The old saying “if you live in a glass house don’t throw stones” applies here. I predict he’ll get Savile shaped brickbats chucked at him in the months leading up to the election and thr Tories won’t have to be be directly involved.
The lads on GiBbons News and TalkTV will happily weigh in.
I think this would be a poor move by Labour. He is the best chance Labour have had of gaining power since Tony Blair (alongside an SNP implosion). Another round of infighting and power struggles will just drag them down and if you end up with a left wing firebrand, the game is up.

He’s a liability. And the vast majority of the infighting is specifically because of people like Starmer throwing the elections.
Unifier my arse.

Oops! She’s gone and opened her mouth again.
Her apology?
It was a draft.
Duh so you still had those thoughts 1st?
And her apology tweet says i would likely apologise.
What language is that even?

In a time where it is rather sickeninf to hear Keir starmer pretend a Tory self-implosion is evidence of Labours success, this will warm the heart.
The Metropolitan Police says it will not now investigate an allegation of sexual assault, reported to be against a Labour frontbench MP, “at the victim’s request”.
Tortoise first reported that a female Labour MP claimed she had been sexually assaulted by a male shadow minister.
The BBC has been told she reported the incident to the Met Police and the Labour whips.
Labour said the whips had urged her to make a formal complaint to the party.
However, Tortoise reported that she “felt his popularity within the party would stand against her”.
In response to the report, the Metropolitan Police told the BBC they received a report in March that a woman was sexually assaulted by a man in London in July 2021.
The incident is alleged to have happened after a summer party in London.
The force said: “At the victim’s request, the incident will not now be investigated at this time.”
It added that enquiries were at an “assessment stage” and a formal investigation had not been launched.
The Met has not identified either MP.
Labour told the BBC they had not been contacted by the Met, nor received a formal complaint.
A party spokesman said: "We take any allegations of this sort very seriously and would always encourage individuals to go to the parliamentary process, the Labour Party process or the police.
“In terms of the Labour Party process, it is a thorough, robust and independent process that individuals can have confidence in.”
I am surprised that the Labour MP asked for it not to be investigated (seemingly due to his popularity in the party) - the issue with this is that he starts thinking he can act with impunity - and lets face it MPs don’t need a lot of encouragement to besome superior arseholes
Why?

Fucking Hell - there is Labour sat pretty in the polls watching the tories and the SNP tear themselves apart and instead of sitting back to watch the show whilst waiting for their coronation, they decide that a civil war is the way forward.
So the Corbynistas would rather the Tories won Uxbridge than Labour - that’s some real left wing logic right there
