You may think they’re idiots who pass Reform’s laws for them, but you are wrong! They also pass Conservative laws!

Stamer is running a social experiment, see how many people worldwide can hate him in the least amount of time possible. Everything he and his goons do is double down constantly on shit nobody wants.

Starmer is a fucking terrible PM and we knew he would be from the start because the establishment wheeled him out to get rid of the Jeremy Corbyn problem.
Starmer sold his soul long ago, his big “human rights lawyer” past counts for jack shit - it’s history. He’s so unlikeable, stands for nothing, has no moral clarity, and has absolutely zero charisma. He’s liked and respected less than a dull secondary school headteacher. Even people who agree with his policies die of boredom and cringe when he’s speaking.
He’s alienated so many former supporters, and meanwhile despite adopting right-wing talking points and policies, he is absolutely loathed by the people who will vote for Fartrage and ReBørk. They think he’s woke, when actually he’s just useless.
Starmer has painted himself into a corner like a twat, and now has nowhere else to go. Labour could have seen it coming if they cared, but they didn’t care because Corbyn posed a bigger threat with some actual socialist policies that were gaining popularity the more people heard about them. We couldn’t have that, could we!
Labour smears Corbyn with bullshit antisemitism accusations, while continuing to arm Netanyahu and profiting from the genocide. A Palestinian genocide we’re not allowed to express support for a certain genocide-opposing nonviolent direct Action movement, without getting arrested?
Now there’s nonviolent political prisoners, held on remand with no trials yet, some seriously ill on hunger strike. All because Labour have no principles.
The whole lot is laid bare here in fascist Britannia. The Labour party is bought and paid for by the arms industry and the Israel lobby. Starmer is a loathed lame-duck PM and should go ASAP to limit the damage, but he won’t. He’s a hanger-on, an egotist with a messiah complex, much like Blair was. It’s already too late and in any case there’s nobody good to replace him, or anywhere to advance current Labour policies that doesn’t just play more into the narratives of the far right. The more Starmer plays on their terms, the more he and Labour lose. He’s lost authority and has no control of the narrative.
The Tories are in disarray too and are trying to play the “brown people who are clamping down on immigration” fool move, also directly playing on the far right’s terms and losing. Bad-enoch is also utterly uncharismatic, but in far more of a problem for potential Tory voters, she’s black and a woman! A tokenistic bit of lip-service to trying to be a modern political party - it won’t wash with Tory voters, they will smile and secretly vote to stab Bad-enoch in the back when she’s no longer useful to them.
If bloody Fartrage gets in though, it’s firmly at the feet of Starmer, who couldn’t be harder to vote for if he tried.
Because he’s so crap, and implementing fascist policies, he will be directly responsible for ushering in ReBørk votes, since he hasn’t really made the case for anything different.
What a fucking waste of space and very real fascist threat Starmer is!

I often wonder whether Starmer has even one sincerely held political beliefs or value. I’d love to put him in a zone of Truth (D&D spell) and just ask him what he actually believes.
It’s weird, because it means that I sort of respect the Tories more. They believed many abhorrent things, such as that a cripple like me is at best, an inconvenient drain on the country’s resources, and at worst, someone who is making it all up to escape having to work — but at least they sincerely believe that.

And tk think that you’ve barely scratched the surface of the actual shitshow that fucker is. I’m not British, but have plenty of very good British friends, and in my over half a century of age, I never though 1 fucker could destroy British culture and way of life the way this asshole has singlehandedly done, and somehow figuring out how to make it worse every day. I feel for the British people.
