Starmer’s premiership was devoted to suffocating the popular will. No wonder he was hated.
So he’s gone. Keir Starmer has resigned. The adults are out of the room. He waltzed into Downing St two years ago to the effusive gushing of the liberal commentariat, and now he’s slinking out. He and his slack-jawed media cheerleaders promised us an era of blissful if boring stability. What they gave us were riots, division, betrayal after betrayal, and an unprecedented assault on the ancient liberties of our nation. The lesson of the Starmer epoch? Never trust a technocrat.
Few tears will flow over the death of his insipid premiership. He’ll be remembered as the human-rights lawyer who took a cudgel to the sacred right of trial by jury. The self-styled worshipper of competence who was staggeringly incompetent. The man with the great work ethic who often switched off for the whole weekend, leaving ministers stumped and the nation leaderless. The ‘details man’ who didn’t even know Peter Mandelson had failed his vetting to become our ambassador to the US. Starmer was a mirage. A hologram of competence operated by an army of the inept.
It pays to look back on the media fawning that followed his electoral victory in July 2024. There was an explosion of onanistic glee in Britain’s moneyed quarters. ‘Keir Starmer has turbo-charged my arousal levels’, said Caitlin Moran of The Times. She claimed ‘every middle-aged woman’ she knew had felt ‘kind of fruity’ upon watching Sir Keir go into Downing St. Other sad centrists wanted less to be fucked by Sir Keir than sedated by him. They made a holy virtue of his dullness. They prayed he would Make Britain Boring Again. He ‘embodies the politics of boring’, said one giddy scribe, which is just what ‘mayhem-weary’ Britain needs. ....

Let’s Go Krandon!
Hopefully conservatives in the US and UK will not make the mistake of personalizing the problems in the UK to Starmer. He made them worse but he did not cause them. The borders were opened up by Blair. The rape gangs started decades ago. The laws that allowed prosecution of online posts were put in place by both Tories and Labour. Boris Johnson made a mess of UK COVID policy and was a huge hypocrite who partied while average citizens were forced to stay inside. There could not be a better example of a “Conservative in Name Only” than Rishi Sunak. Reform needs to make the case that Whoever Labour puts in power is going to keep the same toxic policies going. And, for that matter, the Conservatives aren’t going to do any better even if Kemi Badenoch says the right things.
And now introducing the new tyranny of greyness
burnham was a mayor for 10 years
is he mentioned in the rape report?
He didn’t start the problems, but he sure made them worse and his complete indifference to white Britian’s and the two-tier justice system is on him. His kiss ass to Muslims as whites were pushed aside is on him.
I don’t know what a wanker is, but I believe he is their poster boy.
LOL! A wanker is someone who likes to self-pleasure.
