Even Wes Streeting is decent compared to Keir Starmer

Imagine if you will, for just one moment, having the fucking brass neck to (falsely) boast that you booted Jeremy Corbyn out of the Labour Party while that utterly vile specimen, Epstein’s best pal, Mandelson, was up to his eyeballs in nonce-worshipping.
Corbyn’s Labour certainly had its faults, but it never recruited Peter Mandelson. No shadow cabinet appointments, no diplomatic roles, Crony Mandelson was persona non grata.

Keir Starmer’s government is a gutless, corporate-kowtowing betrayal of everything the Labour Party was supposed to stand for under Jeremy Corbyn. A Corbyn premiership would have been a revolutionary upgrade, not this tepid, right-leaning bullshit we’re stuck with.

I guess it’s easy to think about what could’ve been.

What could have been

Corbyn’s Labour would have built solidarity with global struggles rather than bowed to NATO warmongers and US hegemony. Starmer’s Labour is a whitewashed, Zionist-appeasing machine that silences dissent and props up imperialism.

Corbyn’s Labour would have prioritised aid over arms and cooperation over conquest, turning the UK into a force for global equity, not another lapdog for empire. Starmer’s Labour has escalated tensions with Russia and China to please the Atlanticist overlords and ramped up military spending to 2.5% of GDP while nurses line up at food banks.

Corbyn’s Labour would have ended the failed neoliberal austerity policies that have hollowed out Britain for decades. Rail, mail, water, and energy would’ve been back in public hands where they belong, rather than lining the pockets of fat cat shareholders. Starmer’s Labour ruthlessly ditched those Corbyn-lite pledges faster than a rat fleeing a sinking ship. His “fiscal responsibility” rhetoric is simply code for continuing Tory-lite cuts, cosying up to big business with tax breaks for the filthy rich while public services crumble to the fucking ground.

Starmer’s Britain

Starmer’s Britain is still a playground for billionaires, while Corbyn would have taxed them into oblivion to fund the NHS properly, not this half-arsed patching-up.

Starmer’s “growth” is a euphemism for gangrenous decay. NHS waiting lists are stagnating, schools are falling apart and councils are on the brink of bankruptcy, all while he funnels your billions into private health vultures and arms dealers.

Keir Starmer isn’t building Britain, he’s burying it alive, six-feet-deep in austerity’s grave, like a gravedigger with a knighthood.

You see, Jeremy Corbyn wasn’t just a better option, he was the perfect antidote to the poisonous, soul-sucking capitalist rot that Keir Starmer is peddling as “change”.

So next time you hear or see the oligarchs’ plaything taking a swipe at his predecessor, just remember the Labour Party didn’t have a place for an honourable, decent man like Jeremy Corbyn, but it has plenty of room for paedo-enablers, Tel Aviv bootlickers, corporate shills and Blairite zombies.

And that’s just Peter Mandelson.

Decency???

To be honest, I am absolutely sick of hearing the liberal media tell us that Keir Starmer is a beacon of decency, a steady hand rescuing Britain from Tory chaos. In reality, the BBC and Guardian’s insistence on Starmer’s decency is just cover for their own complicity in propping up a system that chews up poor and working class people.

Starmer is anything but decent. If you have read the last five hundred words you might even agree with me, wherever you place yourself on the Overton Window.

Starmer’s entire rise reeks of deceit and opportunism.

Starmer won the Labour leadership in 2020 by pledging a raft of left-wing Corbyn-lite policies such as scrapping tuition fees, nationalising utilities, and defending migrants’ rights. But once in power, they were abandoned faster than a bad date.

That isn’t decent, it’s calculated betrayal.

What about the freebies? I haven’t forgotten about that, and I doubt you have either. More than £100,000 of freebies from the elite – more than every other Labour leader combined – while pensioners freeze and children go hungry under Labour’s austerity-lite regime.

If that’s decent, I’m a devoted Faragist.

Authoritarian thuggery

Then there’s Starmer’s vicious purge of the Labour left, which the liberal media whitewashes as “professionalising” the party. Starmer and his former enforcer Morgan McSweeney have systematically expelled or marginalised anyone with a whiff of socialism under the guise of rooting out antisemitism, but really to crush dissent and drag the party to the right to the delight of their elitist paymasters.

Decency? No. Authoritarian thuggery? Yes.

On Gaza, his slow-footed, mealy-mouthed response to Israel’s actions has been a national embarrassment and a fucking disgrace and has truly exposed his lack of moral spine.

Complicit Keir Starmer is a jellyfish, drifting with the tides of power rather than boldly standing against injustice.

Even the ultra-Blairite Wes Streeting privately thinks Israel is a “rogue state” committing “war crimes” and “calculated brutality”, yet publicly it’s business as usual for this dreadful, callous government.

Remember, “decent” Starmer rolled out the red carpet for Israel’s war criminals, licensed the tools of their barbaric, criminal slaughter, and suppressed the movement demanding accountability, only to be told it was unlawful.

Maybe someone in the liberal media can explain to me how supplying military equipment to a baby-killing regime is in any way, “decent”?

Haven’t the actions of this vile, discredited prime minister caused enough harm to children already? Their blood is on your grubby hands, Keir Starmer.

Starmer: a gutless fraud

Less than two years into the age of beige, Starmer is the most unpopular PM on record, with polls tanking and chants calling him a “wanker” echoing from football grounds to darts halls across the country.

We are not fooled. Keir Starmer isn’t a fighter for the people, he is a doormat for the establishment.

Keir Starmer isn’t decent, he is a man without conviction and the embodiment of everything that is so very wrong with centrist politics – hollow, elitist, and utterly treacherous.

Starmer’s diabolical legacy was secured some time before the latest Peter Mandelson scandal.

History will not remember Keir Starmer as a decent prime minister, it will remember him for the gutless fraud that he is.

    Hi Rachael, it’s a blistering article, thank you for saying how I feel. I disagree with Patrick McQueenie, I believe there are some proper Labour people within the PLP, but the problem is always their having to kowtow to what leadership says, & that’s then reflected in constituencies, Labour numbers dropping like flies. I was a member for 40+ years, until about a year ago; I’d emailed Starmer, when I found out about the truth behind the proscription of Palestine Action, asked him to explain the hypocrisy & lies. Didn’t get a response, cancelled my membership. I’m an unapologetic leftwing socialist, my home was the Labour Party; Starmer, with his cabal of right wing shysters, has gutted it, & as much as people try to form an alternative, it’s impossible, the roots are too deep. I firmly believe that he has betrayed the Party. Ironic, given who his namesake was; & I ask myself how an esteemed human rights lawyer can live with himself in his present incarnation.
