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!.

The Trump White House Ballroom, the Trump-Kennedy Centre, Trump Airport, and coming soon the Arc de Trump. Does this malignant narcissist have no limits?

Morgan McSweeney has resigned! That's the Organ Grinder gone – now we only have to lose the Monkeys.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Trump is once again being utterly stupid: if he seriously wants Cuban-Americans to return to Cuba he should stop trying to destroy the place. End sanctions, let it prosper, and most of them will be happy to return.

For the avoidance of any further doubt, Labour did NOT win the 2024 election – they merely failed to lose it. Bigly. Any system that gives two thirds of the seats to a party that won a mere third of the votes, with a second chamber in which not one member was elected, can't be called a democracy.

Labour MP Kim Johnson said... “McSweeney’s operation is rotten to the core”, adding: “If this is their idea of leadership, No 10 needs gutting from top to bottom.” Yes please. PLEASE.

That incompetent bonehead Starmer has only survived this long because his faction drove out the socialists in the Labour Party, and because the leader of the official opposition is even more boneheaded and incompetent than he is.

It probably seemed like a good wheeze at the time: appoint a sleaze bag as ambassador to the court of King Sleaze, but the latest tranche of Epstein papers has shown that statesmanship needs a more grown up approach.

That Starmer hasn't a clue about politics was obvious from Day 1 of his government – it has now become inescapable even to the 2024 cohort of carefully selected Blairite Labour MPs. He must go and so must McSweeney and his minions, all tainted by their connections to Mandelson.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Starmer's total refusal to reveal anything about the government's deals with Palantir leads to the conclusion they MUST be dodgy, and probably a threat to national security. The only answer is for the people to make the name Palantir so toxic nobody will touch it

Michael Gove had praised Mandelson's appointment as ambassador to Washington as a "brilliant appointment". But then Gove has always had an unerring knack of getting things wrong: Brexit, education policy, you name it.

This country is broken, millions are living a precarious life, the idle rich are ripping us off with the connivance of mainstream politicians and the media – but look at those dinghies full of illegal migrants!

www.theguardian.com/politics/vid... If only those thickos who think Farage is the answer to their problems would realise that he is the apotheosis of Thatcherism, the primary cause of all the suffering in places like Gorton and Denton. Vote Green instead.

Labour's digital ID scheme is going to set up the most intrusive state surveillance system this country has ever seen – just in time for the (Labour-enabled) possible election of the first truly neo-fascist government. Just who's side is that bastard Starmer on?

www.theguardian.com/business/202... This is what happens when you let private sector parasites own vital public services. Renationalise now.

www.theguardian.com/business/202... The government must keep British Steel in public ownership, and it must maintain the blast furnaces as they are at present the only way to make raw iron which we need for strategic reasons – electric arc furnaces only work with scrap.

Starmer will likely go down in history as the man who both destroyed the Labour Party, and ushered in Britain’s first openly neo-fascist government. He is rightly reviled.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Has Mandelson's avarice finally caught up with him, or will he bounce back yet again? Either way, it's further evidence of Starmer's appalling lack of judgement and political nous.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at 1st Aid class about to practice CPR. No? Only if the 'C' stands for coitus...

theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/29/trump-sues-tax-return-leak The way Trump sprays vexatious multi billion dollar lawsuits around every time he feels slighted must be taken as further evidence of his mental decline. Time to invoke the 25th

Bezos blows $75mn on the Melania vanity project – and sacks thousands of workers to help pay for it. Don't you just love him?

Labour are finally going to fix the iniquity of ever rising ground rents for leaseholders. A £250 cap is proposed which predictably has caused the freeholders to squeal with anguish. Good. The louder those parasites squeal, the better I feel.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Labour were elected to fix the cost of living crisis – instead Reeves makes it even worse by hastening the demise of the High Street with her stupid fiscal rules. Labour will be destroyed, and deservedly so, but a Reform government would be even worse.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... While millions exist in dire poverty a few thousand obscenely rich people have greater wealth than ever. This cannot be allowed to continue – yet Labour's big idea for solving this problem: Digital ID. FFS.
