Oh. I was rather hoping that he'd be a slight improvement at least. He seems to have a bit of gumption about him.

 

Starmer has his own skeletons in the cupboard with regard to war crimes and genocide don't forget.

 

 

Aye, I would have hoped so too, but given that he's clearly 'one of them' I think that anything other than a progressive left-wing alliance (which Labour is far from) will be the end of the UK.

Can't say I did. Been busy with work. 
Is Israel still bombing Palestine?

So 

You missed the Iranian people being massacred for trying to get out from under the cosh of the Islamists government. 
You have nothing to say about elections being cancelled here in the UK, nor the fact the current PM blocks a potential rival in proper Stalinist fashion. 
Instead you put up a famous picture from WW2 and try to link the two, you know Mark if I actually give a shit I’d think your faux anger is very very selectively expressed lad. 

All them years of yearning for a Labour government 😂😂😂👍

 

 

Eighteen months in power and Labour have managed 14 U-turns. At this point it’s less “government” and more driving test retake.

Now we’ve got Chagos. A £35 billion idea so bad it collapsed under the weight of someone finally reading the paperwork. Starmer didn’t reverse because of principle he reversed because Washington tapped the sign and said “absolutely not.”

This was sold as statesmanship. It turned out to be a geopolitical car crash caused by Google Docs diplomacy and vibes based lawmaking. 

Labour discovered too late that treaties still exist, allies still notice, and consequences are not optional.

And the pattern is perfect.

Abroad: weaken Britain, confuse allies, apologise profusely, retreat quietly.

At home: nanny state energy, lecture everyone, tax relentlessly, then wonder why nobody’s clapping.

Veterans? Lectured.

Workers? Taxed.

Businesses? Squeezed.

Migrants? Fast-tracked.

Democracy? “We’ll circle back to that.”

Labour don’t govern they experiment, then act surprised when reality pushes back. Every policy feels like it was stress tested exclusively by Momentum before being unleashed on the country.

Fourteen U-turns in eighteen months isn’t adaptability. It’s chronic indecision with a press office.

The only consistent thing about this government is that nothing they announce survives contact with the real world.
