State submits no evidence in persecution of workers as trial collapses in farce The prosecution of the so-called ‘GMB three’ has collapsed in farce. The three had been arrested last May charged with wilful obstruction of the highway under the Thatcherite 1980 Highways Act anti-strike law after attempting to ask drivers not to cross their […]

Starmer/Reeves less trusted on the economy than the appalling Sunak/Hunt The latest poll by Opinium shows the Keir Starmer/Rachel Reeves combination is more toxic to voters than the Tory pair of Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt – whose recent budget has compounded hardship and misery for millions struggling under the effects of Tory budgets and […]
‘Neither’ and ‘don’t know’ vote dwarfs score for either party leader – and no surprise there Both Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak – two sides of the same dire, droning coin – were soundly beaten in the latest Opinium poll of voter assessment of who would make the best prime minister. The appalling Sunak managed […]
Civicus rates UK civil liberties and democracy alongside Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary and Burkina Faso in annual survey, amid government’s war on civil rights – but there will be no improvement under a Starmer government The UK’s democracy and civil life have been downgraded to ‘obstructed’ in the Civicus annual survey of almost two hundred countries, […]
Pathetic lack of vision exposes Labour’s lack of substance The absolute lack of vision, backbone and political imagination of Keir Starmer’s Labour has been exposed yet again, after some details of tomorrow’s budget were leaked to the media.

Inept Labour right-winger contradicts Starmer contradicting himself Woeful Labour right-winger Jonathan Ashworth made a mug of himself on national television over the Gary Lineker affair this morning.

Broadcaster’s sports coverage reduced to regurgitating old podcasts after cowardly decision to buckle to Tories’ manufactured outrage The BBC has pulled its entire Saturday afternoon Radio 5 Live sports schedule – and a big chunk of its morning programmes – as more and more presenters refuse to appear, in solidarity with Gary Lineker, who was […]
Shearer, Wright and Jenas shame Starmer by refusing to appear on MotD after Lineker removed for comparing Tories to 1930s fascists – and commenters shred BBC and Tories for further fascism Yesterday – and it would be near-impossible to argue they hadn’t been told to – a string of Labour MPs attacked Match of the […]
Shadow Home Secretary sides with Tory horror occupying Home Office and condemns comparisons with 1930s race-hate – but this is not a blunder or an anomaly, rather an exposure of what the Labour right is Examples of Labour’s moral and political bankruptcy are coming thick and fast. Yesterday, Keir Starmer amplified the Tories’ racist narrative […]
Labour right-winger’s hypocrisy laid bare – there are always receipts Earlier today, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper sided with the Tories against football pundit Gary Lineker – and against desperate refugees – condemning Lineker for comparing the Tories’ inflammatory race-hate language about asylum-seeker boats to the fascist rhetoric of the 1930s, saying ‘I just don’t […]
