More hypocrisy Keir Starmer has rightly been under fire since Labour last week exploited abused children by publishing a Twitter post claiming Rishi Sunak doesn’t care about protecting children from paedophiles. Sunak is abysmal, but he has no role in the sentencing of offenders – and Starmer himself, as then-Director of Public Prosecutions, played a […]
Reminding everyone all the time how he used to be [a bad] Director of Public Prosecutions may not have been the smart tactic Keir Starmer’s vile exploitation of child abuse victims to attack Rishi Sunak exploded in Starmer’s face today. Last night Labour posted a graphic claiming Sunak doesn’t care about protecting abused children or […]
My son’s language is made of a bundle of sounds that do not exist in the Spanish that we speak around the Río de la Plata.

Bridget Phillipson is a perfect fit for Keir Starmer’s front bench Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has provided yet another confirmation of the political and moral vacuum Keir Starmer’s ‘Labour’ represents. Phillipson told the BBC that ‘structural change’ should not be a priority for a Labour government: In other words, Labour has no interest in […]
This is a Skwawkbox edit of a guest post submitted by a Labour figure who asked to remain anonymous. Asked by journalists last week whether he would proscribe – outlaw – Momentum, Keir Starmer responded equivocally: That one is not for me. Of course, that is neither a denial nor an indicator that it’s not […]
Will Labour dare to throw out child Holocaust survivor from Starmer’s own constituency for speaking about his experience? The Socialist Labour Network is holding a Zoom event this Friday to discuss ‘reclaiming the memory’ of all who died in the Holocaust. The event will feature survivors and authors – including a child survivor of the […]
