Keir Starmer has been leader of Labour for nearly one year. In that time, we have apparently lost over 100,000 members, now face multiple lawsuits, have seen bullying and oppression of members, literal blocking of any ability to discuss key issues or even the basic human right of voting against those in power in Labour, mass suspensions literally without reasons given, any time frame, any evidence provided, any representation or any appeal process. We have seen the literal breaking of the law, of Labour rules, of PLP standing orders, of the EHRC, ignoring our own legal advice, readmitting people who said horrific things about members and officials and-in their own words-allegedly actively tried to lose a general election; an attempt to cover up probably THE biggest political scandal in modern times re Labour leaks reports. We have seen the majority of Muslim people say explicitly they do not trust Starmer to deal with the racism they face in Labour, the targeting of Jewish members for suspension because they are left wing and the ‘wrong type of Jew’….
We have seen the fury from the Kashmiri population, the disabled community, the Trans community, an appalling undemocratic ‘removal’ of democracy in Scottish Labour. We have seen compulsive lying almost as a default setting, the fury of the Black Lives Matter movement towards us, a decision to back landlords demanding interest on rents people cannot remotely now afford, a backtrack on environmental issues, a key launch of direction without ANY actual policies or substance at all apart from being “unashamedly pro business”, reneging on the mandate elected on re pledges, ignoring our own legal advice to pay out to people, some of whom are alleged perpetrators in the Labour Leaks scandal, hired an ‘independent’ panel personally selected by Starmer to investigate, only to then permanently delay it while changing what they can investigate….
Completely alienated our core vote: the young, renters, minority communities, young professionals, the working classes, Welsh voters, Scottish voters, Northern Irish voters and English voters etc. Starmer demanded schools reopen against scientific and medical advice, the wishes of the teachers, trade unions and the majority of the public. Just recently, within the same conversation Starmer called for millions of people suffering with various conditions to be criminalised for cannabis possession. He said the man probably most responsible for the worse death rate re Covid in the world and who illegally, corruptly sold off our ability to respond while privatising the NHS even further, should NOT resign. We have seen unions withdraw funding, removal of Labour’s community organising 3 months before key elections, making staff redundant, literally offering access and key decision making to the highest bidder and introduced a paid-for-privilege membership scheme.
We have seen the removal of a black woman from standing as Mayor of Liverpool; seen absurdly oppressive and undemocratic tactics used against local parties; abstention in race and torture bills; the complete selling out of the Palestinians, including preventing charity money raised to reach Palestinian children; reprimanding our own MPs for defending Palestinians and international law; false-flag-flying chicken-in-a-basket ‘patriotism’, positioning Labour TO THE RIGHT of the Tories economically with Starmer opposed to corporate tax rises; refusal to condemn and call out an actual right wing fascist who was quoting THE most racist of theories… then carrying on said programme despite knowing he was framed. Obviously there is much, much more too. But this has been done with complete impunity, support & enabling from OUR own Labour people, the media and commentariat.
Don’t you think that as barely anyone, even most Labour members are aware of any of this, that this shows we don’t live in a functioning democracy? At all? That those who claim to be ‘liberal’ and ‘moderate’ are anything but?? Don’t you think it is completely, dangerously absurd that those opposing all this are presented often as racist extremists? Being guilty of the very behaviour committed by Starmer and all in his lair. Isn’t it absurd that despite all this, almost total media support, commentariat support, Labour MPs support etc… and against the worst government and PM of all time… that Labour is going backwards in the polls? Is it not absurd that Starmer has attacked and oppressed Labour members, minorities (in their own words) etc constantly while being THE worst opposition leader it is possible to be at a time of international crisis?
I’ll finish by reminding you: all this is in less than 12 months as ‘leader’. Forensic it is not. RIP The Labour Party.
