Mirror ^ | 25 Apr 2026 | Alexander Brown

Keir Starmer has vowed he can win the next election and that it will be a battle between Labour and Reform.

More revelations about Peter Mandelson’s failed security vetting had raised concerns among Labour MPs, who are also worried about the May elections.

However, speaking with The Times, the embattled PM insisted Labour could defy the odds and turn things around.

Asked about winning the general election, he said: “I think we can. I think it’s going to be a very important general election. It’s likely to be Labour versus Reform. An election where the defining question is, what is it to be British? An election where what I would call patriotic values of tolerance, decency, live and let live, diversity, are under challenge like we’ve never seen before.”

Starmer should be abducted and dropped off in the middle of a No-Go zone to walk back to his residence. If he makes it back he should be allowed to run for election.

He already KNOWS the answer from British patriots marching through the streets. He just won’t accept the answer, so Kier the Obama puppet needs to be DUMPED.

Recognize the state the western world is in

UK elected a leader who can't define Britain.
US elected a Supreme Court judge who can't define female.

The Holocaust started with what the Nazis called "the Jewish question" or die Judenfrage.

In fact, the expression "the final solution" was part of a longer euphemism, die Endlösung der Judenfrage, or "the final solution of the Jewish question."

Apparently, to be a British requires being a Muslim

Bloviating obfuscation. The knighted clown does not know “what is is to be British?” What an idiot to even rhetorically ask the question.

A question that has regrettably already answered itself.

The Great Britains are Great third world slums, chewing Khat and grooming little girls.

Both of them CAN do it.

They just WON'T do it.

There is a major difference.

They are lying right to your face and daring you to call them on it.

If you don't they write you off as weak and think they have won because you have no backbone.

There aren’t enough pub drinking soccer hooligans left to save England.

Starmer / Labour’s version of what it is to be British is where people can be arrested for waving the Union Jack, giving away sovereign British territory, etc.

“What is it to be British?”

It’s something like this:

Nowadays it’s saying “As-salamu alaykum” instead of “G’day!”

IOW - he doesn’t even want to mention the Restore Party to give them credibility.

Farage isn’t going to get it done, he’s just another opportunist politician that has already said mass deportations aren’t practical.

If the Wehrmacht had simply taken off their uniforms, booked passage on the channel car ferry and decamped en masse into England that way - no shots required - would that be OK with SIR (always say “sir!”) Keir?
