First voted aged 21 for Mr Harold Wilson best 20th century PM in my era. Couldn't vote for Keir Starmer as I am a life long socialist.

There's a consistent pattern of behaviour here, isn't there? Weird how it's not being splashed across every front page.

Blaming the left for the rise of the far right instead of the centrists that have absorbed their policies and rhetoric and shifted everything rightward how very Guardian

Labour won the last election on just a third of the vote. Now Nigel Farage believes he can do the same. Right, left or centre - NO ONE with minority support should have 100% of the power. That's why we demand Proportional Representation.

Starmer bonkers.😜 Can British troops refuse to fight Russians on Ukrainian soil?

Your ignorance is astounding! So I am not going to attempt to educate you, it is far easier to simply block you. Go and read some recent history.

From "Kid Starver" to "Granny Freezer" to now "Farage Enabler" Sorry, this was not what the "Adults Back In Charge Brigade" promised the country

You know the shit has hit the fan when "a minister" has to defend #RachelReeves for fiddling her expenses and lying on her CV bbc.co.uk/news/article... #GrubbyLittleGrifter

“Nigel wants to feel part of our tribe. But Nigel loves America, and he puts Trump first. If we put Trump first and America first, and do a deal with them, British farming will not survive an American trade deal.”

“MPs are guilty of delivering a record high tax burden, persistent inflation and struggling services, yet are now being rewarded for this catalogue of failures."

What is the point of Starmer? Labour? A ’human rights’ lawyer who lacks humanity. He’s worse worse than the CONs STOP voting for these shysters.

The deafening sound of silence from Starmer.

the “sensible” centrist columnists are blaming the left somehow for Starmer’s unhinged (and very predictable) lurch right.

Is this Keir Starmer with compassion or him just saying what he thinks people want to hear? Looking at Keir Starmer today, I think we all know the answer

Fascist scum. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

Kemi Badenoch talks a lot❗️ Doing so but not actually saying anything thing that isn’t just vacuous noise is something she’s turned into an art form❗️🙄🙄

Fk the rich greedy Brexit voting farmers 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

the richest people in the country are deliberately forcing the poorest people in the country further into poverty

If you voted Labour is this what you voted for? Rather than make the positive case for why this country absolutely benefits from migration - let alone the moral case - Labour have turned into Reform. Don't just get angry - get active. Join @greenparty.org.uk

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

Historically, when aspiring dictators capture the courts, prison and concentration camps follow. The undocumented at Guantanamo and El Salvador will be subjected to human rights abuses, unsanitary conditions, and likely torture. It's fascism unfolding in broad daylight.

There is an alternative to Starmer's Labour. It's not Conservative or Reform, they'd be 10 times worse. The REAL alternative for everyone in our beloved UK is #TheGreenParty

Hilarious seeing the people who claimed to be on the Left & fought against Corbyn, complaining about the Labour they wanted, doing the things that the Tories love to do. You had your chance of a more fair society, but you wanted to hold the center ground & that means sucking up to the Right.

Zarah Sultana hasn't posted much since Keir Starmer extended her suspension from the PLP, along with the only other Muslim woman, but let three white men back in despite committing the exact same 'crime'. She has posted once here & Twitter to humiliate Starmer. Otherwise, she's biding her time. Why?

I think both Zarah Sultana and Apsana Begum may be discussing joining Jeremy Corbyn's Independent Alliance Group. Will either join at this stage? My guess is they won't. From a strategic point of view it's best for Keir Starmer to expel them than for them to resign from Labour. #UniteTheSocialists

Mate, you’re continuity tories ushering in a Farage government by aping their policies. You couldn’t disrupt a toddler’s birthday party.

Alt text has full transcript.

It's really rude to call Musk's cars Swasticars. Apparently it hurts Tesla stock. Just typing Swasticars adds to his frustration. So please stop calling them Swasticars. Swasticars is a made up word. So stop using Swasticars as a way to mock the Naz ... the guy who makes Swasticars. (Orig unknown)

Zia Yusuf, the chairman of the Reform "party" has apparently claimed that the Tories under Boris Johnson were "an extreme left wing party". If that doesn't tell you how far right Reform is, you haven't been paying attention.

For non-UK readers, Ms Badenoch is leader of the Conservative party here and thus Leader of the Opposition. Heaven bleedin' help us. The level of hypocrisy is outstanding. I don't challenge her right to citizenship at all; I do object to her views on it for others.

" .... four experts tell the Starmer regime that those it is targeting ‘appear to have no credible connection to “terrorist” or “hostile” activity’ " skwawkbox.org/2025/02/06/u...

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*

EXACTLY!!! Look at how that's worked out for the tories. Attack them on the NHS, it's their weak point! LISTEN TO US! Fucking DENSE! @stellacreasy.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @emilythornberry.bsky.social

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.
