Philip Proudfoot: Keir Starmer wants us to believe…
Keir Starmer wants us to believe an inquiry into why he appointed Mandelson, friend of pedophile Jeffery Epstein, is a “political stunt” But claiming a political opponent is “unfit to lead a party” because he retweeted a post questioning police violence is normal and sane.Robin Monotti: It's amazing how when Starmer…
It's amazing how when Starmer is on the ropes for knowingly appointing Epstein associate Mandelson as US ambassador a mental case with a history of violence is released from a psychiatric hospital just in time to reshape the narrative before the local elections!
Adam Brooks: When Starmer goes…
When Starmer goes, he will take it terribly. He’s spent decades dreaming of being the Prime Minister, only to be exposed as incompetent, a liar, two faced & disloyal. He’s going to go amidst scandal & a personal popularity rating so bad, it’s the lowest seen since records began.

As the final 88 hereditary peers are abolished by Sir @Keir_Starmer this week, ending almost 1,000 years of history, what is there but despair? Decisions made that reshape institutions and sideline tradition - just like that. What’s unfolding in plain sight isn’t reform; it’s erasure. Olenka Hamilton x @TheConWom
Liz Webster: As Starmer faces a leadership…
😡 As Starmer faces a leadership crisis and expected local election wipeout, his niece Ellie Sandover has been parachuted into a safe Labour seat in Croydon. Sitting councillors reportedly removed to make way for her. Nepotism and central control, while he lectures everyone else about “due process.” @LibDems did similar with @DavidCampanale in Sutton and are now staring at a big payout. Party machine control freakery looking after their own while preaching democracy. Voters notice.
Aaron Bastani: Keir Starmer thinks a retweet…
Keir Starmer thinks a retweet should disqualify someone from leading a political party, but that appointing the best ‘pal’ of the world’s most notorious paedophile, as Ambassador to Washington, shouldn’t. Be serious!Kathy Gyngell: Why doesn’t @Keir_Starmer understand…
Why doesn’t @Keir_Starmer understand that weak signals abroad have real consequences. His stance on the military risks straining the UK–US alliance when it matters mostLiz Webster: John Major…
✅ John Major “The fate of individual politicians doesn't really matter as much as the development of the right policy.” Starmer’s in trouble bc of his commitment to Brexit - bad policy. Trying to make Brexit work with US trade deals, lowers standards, exposing farmers, and chipping away at the resilience we desperately need. Brexit made us more vulnerable. We can’t fix generational decline by opening the door wider to imports that undercut British production. We need policy that rebuilds domestic food security, not more short-term trade-offs.

“Globalise the intifada” targets the international military-industrial-political system that makes the Gaza genocide possible. Starmer claims it a call to “murder Jews,” in so doing he is conflating Jews with Israel, a core antisemitic trope.

Sir @Keir_Starmer is on record saying he supports Zionism without qualification. This is the latest manifestation of that unqualified support. The prime minister and the Labour govt are effectively owned by Israel. Our democracy has been perverted. We need to clear this lot out.

Remeber when Keir Starmer told us there was a £22bn black hole in the accounts ? He knew this was a lie when he said it and so did his chancellor Reeves. They just wanted to financially hit the pensioners. Who voted for these people ?
Keir Starmer Is Burying What Remains of His Own Dignity and Britain’s Former Grandeur
Whatever Prime Minister Keir Starmer turns his hand to seems to go badly wrong. From his promises to do something — anything — about the UK’s crumbling economy, to his attempts to salvage his own political career, he is now openly criticised and ridiculed across social media.

Why did @thetimes 's Murdoch lackeys write an @Keir_Starmer puff piece (what a caring chap he really is) just when he had just proved how totally shameless he was and - more importanlty - was on the rocks? Who is desperate to keep him in power?Alex Wickham: EXCLUSIVE…
EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham says Labour must take a “different course” after the local elections. He declines to back Keir Starmer staying on, signals he’ll make another run for Parliament and argues defence spending should be taken out of the fiscal rules to fund a rise through borrowing. “It’s got to be a moment of reflection,” Burnham says in a Bloomberg interview today, warning the results will be “challenging.” He says in the aftermath it means “starting to now pull through on a different course.” “I understand the real frustration people have got with politics and politicians. I honestly, I really understand that. And they’re right to say politics just hasn’t been working,” the Greater Manchester Mayor tells @flacqua . Burnham makes clear he intends to run again for Parliament. “The politics we’ve pioneered as mayors: place first, not party first — that needs to go national, and so we do need to reform Westminster. I can’t remove the kind of feeling that someday I will try and go back. I’m not ruling it out.” Asked if Starmer should stay after May 7, Burnham declines to answer. Instead he says the PM deserves more “credit” for the job he’s done. And he suggests defence spending should be taken out of the fiscal rules in what would be a major change to UK policy to fund an increase in defence spending through borrowing. While he suggests the fiscal rules “will stay in any context,” he says “there’s certainly a case, when we look at the pressure on defence spending, to consider that exceptionally outside of the rules.”Andrew Feinstein: On 7th of May people in parts of England…
On 7th of May people in parts of England, Scotland & Wales have the opportunity to deliver a knockout blow to the corrupt, unaccountable, mendacious & mediocre Keir Starmer. Don’t vote Labour. Starmer out, not just of Number 10 but out of Camden too. We don’t want him as our MP. He is a disgrace to our borough
Alice Smith: There’s truth to this joke…
There’s truth to this joke. Changing the figurehead but keeping all the same old disastrous policies will make absolutely no difference at all. In fact, it’ll make things worse, because it will give an illusion of change and progress where none exists.Andrew Bridgen: Now Starmer’s National Security advisor Jonathan Powell…

Keir Starmer end-day analysis: he is wounded from the last two weeks but limps on to face his fate after the locals. — The PM finished the day in a better place than he started it. He got a rare victory winning tonight’s Commons vote with minimal rebellion. If he had lost it would have been close to game over. But No10 won the argument with Labour MPs that this was a political stunt from the Tories. Labour MPs decided to keep their problems in-house rather than give Kemi Badenoch the win. — Downing Street is relieved that what threatened to be a perilous Tuesday didn’t do much serious new damage. The sessions with Philip Barton and Morgan McSweeney ended without a killer blow. When it comes to the process on Starmer versus Olly Robbins, after hours and hours of testimony from all the key witnesses, there are arguments on both sides and no clear winner, maybe just two losers. — Philip Barton’s evidence was uncomfortable for No10 but his crucial caveat that he was not put under pressure over the substance of Mandelson’s appointment process gave the PM something of a reprieve. It could have been much worse for No10. — That means after two weeks of intense scrutiny on Mandelson, he has survived until the next flashpoint after the locals. As Bloomberg reported on Saturday, Starmer’s rivals think they need a ‘perfect storm’ of events to bring him down including an ‘emotional’ response from MPs to May 7 leading to a cabinet revolt. It remains unclear if Labour MPs have the stomach or plan to change leader now. It all comes down to the days after the vote. — Starmer will seek to move past the Mandelson scandal with a renewed focus on security, in terms of Britain’s defence, economy and energy supply as we reported a few weeks ago. He is planning a series of speeches and policy interventions on those topics.The Middle East Storm: Starmer’s Inaction Is Dragging Britain Down
Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s lacklustre response to the energy crisis, exacerbated by the war in Iran, has caused uproar across British social media. People are demanding a firm response from the government to protect our national interests, yet none has been forthcoming.Andrew Bridgen: A reminder of Keir Starmer’s words…
A reminder of Keir Starmer’s words during the Chris Pincher sexual assault scandal, words which are coming back to haunt him now. Our Parliament is just a pantomime with a cast of hypocrites with PM Keir Starmer being one of the biggest hypocrites.

Our military lay their lives on the line for our security. Instead of respecting and honouring their service, @Keir_Starmer targets them and honours terrorists. If we want a secure Britain, our veterans must NOT be prosecuted. The Troubles Bill is an abuse of our veterans.Alex Wickham: Keir Starmer state of play ahead of a big Tuesday…
Keir Starmer state of play ahead of a big Tuesday - The PM’s allies, Labour MPs and the Tories all think Starmer will win tomorrow’s vote and Parliament will reject a privileges probe. - Starmer’s allies think they have won the argument that the timing of the vote by the Tories is politically motivated ahead of the locals. - Big beasts like Gordon Brown coming out to say as such have helped No10. Foreign affairs select committee chair Emily Thornberry agrees. Starmer’s rivals like Angela Rayner are remaining loyal. It sounds like PLP tonight was largely supportive with only a couple of left-wing dissenters. - Tory HQ think it’s a win-win for them. They don’t dispute this was a political move. Conservative officials say if Labour MPs vote with Starmer then the Tories will point that out to voters on the doorstep ahead of May 7. - The danger for Starmer comes at 9am when Philip Barton appears in front of FASC. He is expected back up Olly Robbins and Ian Collard and say No10 did put pressure on the foreign office re Mandelson. If he produces bombshell evidence of serious pressure then that could produce a case that Starmer misled Parliament. You’d expect Morgan McSweeney will deny any pressuring when he testifies at 11am. - But what it may come down to is your definition of pressure. Starmer argued to @joshglancy in the Sunday Times that there are normal pressures of the job, such as getting things done quickly. What he is denying is that No10 pressured FCDO to approve Mandelson against due process. Robbins and Collard both say pressure didn’t affect their decisions, so sort of agree. Will Barton? - Remarkably Collard says in his evidence to FASC tonight that he too didn’t see the UKSV form with boxes ticked against recommending Mandelson get clearance. That means the two key decision-makers, Collard and Robbins, didn’t see the key document and instead decided among themselves that they could mitigate the Mandelson concerns. - Nearly two weeks on from the Guardian story, who is right and wrong on the process remains unclear. No10 will still argue FCDO failed to share the UKSV concerns with them and shouldn’t have tried to cook it up among themselves. Robbins essentially argues it’s all been a big misunderstanding, that Mandelson’s vetting problems were resolvable and he shouldn’t have been sacked. As Thornberry suggested after his evidence last week, it could be that there was fault on all sides.The Labour Circus: Warmongers and Paedophile Sympathisers in Sir Starmer’s Cabinet
Keir Starmer’s actions have recently come under increasingly fierce criticism across social media. He stands accused of reckless spending on weapons and of maintaining links with highly questionable individuals.
Pat Condell: Labour MPs are in a bind…
Labour MPs are in a bind. They know Starmer is the worst prime minister and the most hated prime minister we’ve ever had, a man with no redeeming qualities at all. But if they try to remove him and he calls an election it will finish most of their careers. It’s hard not to laugh.Robin Monotti: If you think that Milei's claims…
If you think that Milei's claims over the Falklands the day after he meets with Netanyahu have nothing do with Iran, perhaps think again. The strategy seems clear: Starmer moves RAF resources to Iran due to pressure from Trump, then when the Falklands are undefended, Milei puts pressure by claiming them, and forces Starmer to hand over more of the Falkland gas fields to Israel which already has a 65% stake in the Sea Lion gas basin.Read more
