I can't say I have much faith in the ability of any of the 'candidates' so far hinted at as the next Labour leader. It is a huge task to reverse the mess caused by the Tories during their last 14 years, and before. Perhaps they need someone new? Or have they all been purged?

One of the reasons that pusillanimous twerp Starmer has to go is his refusal to sort out the water industry – essentially it has to be renationalised, and without compensation as the taxpayer is going to have to invest so much. If he, or his successor fails to do this Labour will be damned for ever.

If serial loser Andy Burnham thinks it's going to 3rd time lucky if he enters the Labour Leadership Race I fear he's in for a shock.

Starmer's speech was the usual empty rhetoric. He really hasn't a clue, but he is stubborn and vindictive so getting rid of him isn't going to be easy. Basically the Labour Party is fucked.

This deserves to be circulated. A former Red Cross staff member got in touch. She testifies about @zackpolanski.bsky.social's role. For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau. The whole thing is a desperate smear.

The slow death of the Labour Party under Starmer continues. When I was chair of the North Norfolk CLP back in the '90s, four out of the ten county council divisions in the constituency were Labour – the party actually ran the council. Now there is just one Labour councillor.

Starmer says "I'm not going to walk away". Is this noble sacrifice or rank stupidity? Given his leadership is the main reason his party has just tanked in the polls, the latter seems most likely.

Someone this greedy and corrupt will never act in the best interests of the country. He showed you with Brexit. He showed you with Reform councils. He showed you with his own constituency. He’ll lie to your face and sell you out. Do not let him win because then we all lose. Do not vote Reform.

The Labour Party was created by a Kier (Hardy) and is now being destroyed by another Kier (Starmer). Soon the circle will be complete.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Starmer has shown he is both stubborn and stupid with not a gram of political nous. Now he shows us he is arrogant too, convinced that only he – the man who has all but destroyed the Labour Party – can save it. This deluded fool must go.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... That Zionist bastard Starmer is preparing to go full-fascist to support his blood-thirsty mate Bibi. He must go.

Starmer is fighting to save his career. Why bother when he has shown himself to be the most useless PM in the history of the Labour Party? He must go, and take his venal Labour Together crew with him.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... That shit Reed still pushing the Big Lie that the people thrown out of the Labour Party were antisemitic when in reality they were anti-Zionist, critical of the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza. No wonder the Greens welcomed them.

Is Trump's America the World's first nuclear armed kindergarten ?

Starmer’s government is obsessed with chasing the chimaera of ‘growth’ as if that will be the solution to the housing and cost of living crises. Making the pie larger isn’t going to help if it is still sliced up into such obscenely unequal portions.

What a criminal waste of high quality motive power.

These 60s have been moved slightly since my previous visit to Toton. 60035 and 60027 are seen at one end of two rows of various EWS liveried Class 60s stored in some sidings at Toton. (13/04/26)

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... What, apart from puerile name calling, is Trump going to do about the Pope? Will he bomb the Vatican? will he appoint his own ‘Antipope’ and install him at Mar-a-Lago? Barron isn’t doing much at the moment…

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Once again idiot Starmer puts himself on the wrong side of morality. He really must be removed.

Trump's apparently random threats, usually soon withdrawn, to do serious damage to Iran are not without consequences in the oil and stock markets which are suffering unprecedented volatility. Rich people close to Trump have an opportunity to play the markets and make even more money. Coincidence?

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

www.theguardian.com/business/202.... When the economy is weak, imposing a savage increase in Employers NIC is likely to do one thing: increase unemployment – and gosh, look what's happening! Unemployment is rising steeply. This is so bleeding obvious we can only wonder at the incompetence of Reeves.

The way NigelFarage speaks to women is a disgrace. Here’s four recent times he’s patronised them publicly. You can hear his “Listen love” tone yourself: x.com/i/status/197...

As a UK taxpayer I resent my tax money being squandered on bringing unpatriotic tax dodging emigrants like Oakeshott et al back from Dubai.

It’s true that Starmer is no Churchill. But Trump is no Roosevelt; he’ll, he’s not even a Gerald Ford.

Trump berates Starmer for not being more like Churchill which is a bit rich considering that Trump is not like Roosevelt. Indeed he’s more like Don Corleone than he is any past president. Imagine a mafia boss with access to nukes!

This 'Labour' government keeps saying it wants to support small businesses and support our High Streets. Yet they inflicted a swingeing increase in Employer NIC and now they're following this up with a massive hike in business rates – hugely damaging to small businesses.

According to the BBC "Starmer accepts that the voters are impatient". Of course they are – they've been waiting 19 months and barely a sign of the changes so desperately needed. No sign of the stupid tit doing anything about it.

Consumer protection, employment protection, environment protection – regulation keeps us safe. You can be sure that any political party promising to cut regulations does not have your best interests at heart.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... Everyone should see this and then demand the denationalisation of the water industry without compensation, the prosecution of present and past water co executives, and the upper echelons of the Environment Agency. Fuck the shareholders.

The English water companies have been taking the piss for 30 years. It’s time to kick back by re-nationalising WITHOUT COMPENSATION: fixing the mess they’ve created will cost a lot without having to pay off parasitic shareholders.

Apparently the Lobby Correspondents regard Keir Starmer as a 'decent man' who is, alas, bad at politics. Since being Prime Minister is the most intensely political job in the country perhaps he will have the decency to fuck off and leave the job to someone who is good at politics.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... D'oh!

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... CORRUPTION. Nothing but corruption. Unfortunately Starmer's Labour are no better, if slightly less blatant. Outlaw political donations, abolish the honours system and the House of Lords.

I fear the next general election could be a rerun of the Brexit referendum where a largely elderly, uneducated, bunch of angry closet racists do irreparable damage to the country thanks to Farage and his lies.

What is Starmer's government doing? It was elected to fix the cost of living crisis, the housing crisis, the health crisis, and now the defence crisis – and all it can do is fart about with local government reorganisation and digital IDs which nobody wants. Mad.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026.... It's not the minimum wage that's causing youth (and adult) unemployment, it's the swingeing increase to employers' NIC introduced by our idiot Chancellor.

Brexit was the ultimate victory of the old and stupid over the young and bright.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... Burnham's ideas look interesting and deserving of wider discussion. What is certain is that the current system is not working and our failed PM is just a road block to progress.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026.... It's not just an embarrassment for the government, it's a victory for freedom of speech over tyranny which makes it all the more despicable that our evil Home Secretary intends to appeal against the ruling.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Come on Labour. You've (finally) got rid of the organ grinder. Now it's time to get rid of his monkey.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Okay, we all know Brexit was an idiotic fucking disaster. You don't have to keep rubbing it in; just dump it and rejoin the EU ASAP. If Starmer can't bring himself to do it, he should fuck off and make way for someone who can.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... It's good to see the courts are still dispensing justice even if the government isn't. If Mahmood appeals the decision she should be prosecuted for gross misuse of taxpayers' money.

Festooning the place with flags has different meanings in different places: in Scotland and Wales it's aimed at the English, in Ulster it's aimed at the Catholics, in England it's aimed at brown-skinned migrants. Nowhere is it particularly edifying.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... His total lack of political nous, his stubbornness, his venal approach to lobbyists, his authoritarianism, his zionism, and the general feeling that he has betrayed the hopes of the voters. Apart from that I can't think of any reason for his unpopularity.

Starmer trying to big-up McSweeney as the campaign genius who single handedly secured Labour's massive parliamentary majority in 2024 – when in reality the Tories, having torn themselves to shreds, handed it to him on a plate. Even Larry the Cat could have done it.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Owen Jones is absolutely right – but how does Labour retrieve the situation and save the country, and democracy. Get rid of Starmer and his gang obviously, but then what?

Starmer said this morning: "The thing that makes me most angry is the undermining of the belief that politics can be a force for good and can change lives." Yes, but not with the dead hand of 'Kier from Admin' and 'Rachel from Accounts' steering the ship of state.

In 1962 party leader Harold Wilson said "This party is a moral crusade or it is nothing". Unfortunately, thanks to Blair, Mandelson and their followers, Labour has become an immoral crusade. Starmer out! Blairites out!.
