Starmer told by female MPs party branded “paedo lovers”

Labour MPs have complained to their boss Keir Starmer that the party and its activists are now dismissed by the public as “paedo lovers”. The complaint came during Starmer’s emergency meeting with women from the parliamentary party yesterday, 11 February 2026.

The meeting followed a further ‘Labour nonceberg’ scandal over Starmer’s peerage for former adviser Matthew Doyle despite knowing Doyle had campaigned for the election of a Scottish Labour paedophile. This in turn followed the scandal of the various appointments given to the disgraced Peter Mandelson despite his ardent fandom toward serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein — to whom he also leaked confidential state and financial information.

There is no mention in reporting that women MPs raised the issue of the victims of Epstein or Doyle’s close friend Sean Morton. Starmer has also refused to say that disgraced former royal Andrew should apologise to his victims.

To the informed, none of this is surprising, either from Starmer or from the women MPs. Labour’s ‘white feminists‘ have routinely ignored the plight of victims who are not ‘people like us’. Starmer’s record as Labour leader is an appalling continuation of the impunity of celebrity paedophiles when he ran the CPS.

Nonceberg

As well as the cases of Mandelson, Doyle/Morton and Andrew, Starmer:

Welcomed the London MP Neil Coyle back under the Labour whip despite Coyle being found by Parliament to have sexually harassed a staffer, as well as racially abusing a Chinese-British man.
Turned a blind eye to then-Chester MP Chris Matheson’s sexual harassment: neither Starmer nor the party machine suspended him pending the outcome of the investigation, as would be usual practice to protect the women around him.
Protected at least two further alleged sex pests on his front bench.

The public are right

The angry public on the doorstep is not wrong: Starmer’s right-wing, pro-Israel faction is rife with paedophiles:

‘Friend of Israel’ Liron Velleman has just been convicted of repeated sex crimes against a 13-year-old girl.
In January 2025, former Blair minister Ivor Caplin was arrested in a sting operation as he allegedly attempted to meet a 15-year-old boy for sex. Local police went after local left-winger Greg Hadfield for exposing the explicit content Caplin posted on his X feed — Hadfield defeated the ‘vexatious’ charge in November 2025. However, no charges have yet been brought against Caplin and a court did not impose bail conditions after his initial bail expired.
Hackney councillor Tom Dewey, an organiser in pro-Israel group ‘Labour First’, admitted possession of the most serious category of child rape images in 2023. The party knew of his arrest when it allowed him to stand for election. After his conviction, it blocked local women members from its systems to prevent them discussing the case.
In March 2025 Sam Gould, another JLM activist who worked for Starmer’s health secretary Wes Streeting, quit as a Redbridge councillor after being convicted on two separate counts of indecent exposure to a 13-year-old girl.
The following month Dan Norris MP, an ally of Keir Starmer, was arrested over allegations of rape, child sex offences and child abduction. Avon and Somerset Police says its investigation is still ongoing.
The same Dan Norris was arrested again for allegations of rape and sexual assault.

And in August 2025, the US allowed Israeli cyberwar official Tom Alexandrovich to fly back to Israel after he was caught in a police paedophile sting. Starmer is fond of both countries.

Starmer’s war on Labour-left — in retrospect

And while Starmer’s senior cronies were deselecting or blocking potential left-wing parliamentary candidates on any pretext they could find, they were ignoring legal advice to let their mates stand.

Labour’s national executive ignored the advice of its barrister that it needed to thoroughly investigate allegations of ‘serious’ sexual assault against slum landlord Jas Athwal. Then-Redbridge council leader Athwal is now a right-wing Labour MP close to health secretary Wes Streeting. Instead of investigating, the NEC dropped the case and reinstated Athwal to allow his rigged selection as the party’s parliamentary candidate in Ilford South.

Starmer ignored whistleblower

Perhaps most seriously, Starmer and his then-sidekick David Evans covered up Jewish whistleblower Elaina Cohen’s allegations of serial abuse of women by a party staffer.

Cohen repeatedly warned Starmer and Evans that a staffer working for then-Perry Barr MP Khalid Mahmood — and allegedly Mahmood’s lover — was engaged in ‘sadistic’ and ‘criminal’ abuse of vulnerable Muslim women. The victims were fleeing domestic violence, through the now-defunct domestic violence ‘charity’ that she ran.

Warned time and again, Starmer and Evans did nothing. Mahmood remained on Starmer’s front bench as long as he chose to be there. Cohen was sacked from her role as a parliamentary aide.

One of the victims gave evidence, at Cohen’s successful wrongful dismissal tribunal, of the horrific abuse she and others had suffered. This included blackmail and sexual exploitation. Her evidence was not challenged by Mahmood or his lawyers. Mahmood admitted under oath to the tribunal that he had also personally made sure that Starmer was fully aware of Cohen’s allegations.

Starmer’s protection of child sex offenders is a mountain. His contempt for their victims is another. Both have been almost entirely ignored by ‘mainstream’ media.
