Starmer Pushes Spectre of Supposed ‘Far-Right’ in Bid to Save His Job After Election Calamity
Breitbart ^ | 11 May 2026 | Oliver JJ Lane

Posted on 05/11/2026 6:57:31 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Labour’s political opponents are un-British, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said as he made a final Hail Mary speech to save his job on Monday, while attempting to use boogeyman scare tactics over the so-called “far-right” to justify his continued presence in Number 10.

The answer to the country rejecting his Labour party at the ballot box with its worst election results in a century is simply to be more Labour than ever, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said at yet another ‘reset’ speech on Monday morning. Even as coup plotters break into the open to challenge his position, Starmer said clinging on to power rather than accepting his time is up is his “responsibility” while criticising people who notice the problems the country has, vowing to crack down on the right wing, and vowing to nationalise the steel industry.

Speaking to an audience of political activists and journalists, much of Starmer’s speech was dedicated to identifying ideological enemies. He said, “We are not just facing dangerous times, but dangerous opponents. Very dangerous opponents,” and specifically named Nigel Farage, whom he called a “grifter” and “chancer”. The Reform UK leader — who absolutely dominated last week’s elections should be resisted because he wouldn’t be able to provide the “progressive leadership” that Starmer claimed “these times demand”.

He serves at the pleasure of his Deep State.

Until that is changed, the UK is stuck with whomever their Deep State installs.

For the Left, the classic so-called “Far-Right” regime would be Nazi Germany —

Big government touching every aspect of society.
Favoring some groups, stomping on other groups.
No concept of individual rights.
Street thugs use violence to shepherd society in the direction desired by government.
Violence is just part of everyday life.

Does it sound like Hitler? or Keir Starmer? or Both?

In any case, it’s what the UK has, and it seem Far-Left to me.

There's no such thing as "far-right" as we know it.

In reality, far-right = anarchy.

They’re un British? Isn’t this the same guy that just sucked the C***ks of the moslem invaders, telling the Brits how much better they were and how they were Britain’s future?

Always the demon crouched nearby is of the “far-right” variety, whatever that means. The implication is that the “far-right” is some kind of neo-Nazi, but that is a total misrepresentation of reality, as the various flavors of National Socialists are first of all SOCIALISTS, a nuance apparently lost on many of the less critical thinkers.

National Socialists are merely a “kinder, gentler” form of socialist than International Socialists, Communists

It wasn’t the fictional far right that did him in. It was the far left that he embraced.

It can’t be too far off from center when people are voting for it in droves.

LOL. Watch out kids. The Far Right is going to get you! Check in your closet and under your bed before you go to sleep at night!! What a joke. What exactly is the “far right” going to do? Suppress freedoms? Labour is doing a pretty good job of that now.

When most of the country have supposedly all turned “far right”...maybe that is a mischaracterization.

Just maybe. How can it be “far” anything if it’s everyone.

This election result is perfect for the “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London this Saturday.

I’m guessing Starmer is the UK’s version of a deep state democrat. As with our rats, they enjoy power and will do anything to attain it and to keep it.

I hope the Brits have enough guts to take this guy out by force in handcuffs and leg irons. Considering the damage he did to his own country, he deserves it.

Reminds me of Biden - who, along with his shrill wife - adamantly refused to end his presidential campaign.

“At least 44 Labour MPs—around 10% of the parliamentary party have publicly urged Starmer to resign or set a timetable for departure following the party’s poor performance in the May 2026 local elections.”

Hopefully, Starmer will get the same talking to that Biden got and do the right thing - which is to completely disappear from politics.
