City boy turned island dweller. Enemy of the people, saboteur and maudlin drunk. I aim to misbehave.

After a 14 year Tory circus where they turned Britain into a joke, finally the grown up was in the room.

It seems Brits have got so used to jokers they can’t recognise the real deal, aided and abetted by the worst hounding of a PM I’ve ever known.

Embarrassing 🙄

#Starmer

[Sam @SamCKx]

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

[john eastman #Rejoin @talldogman]

Dear @UKLabour
I think you have just made a truly disastrous decision.
Starmer was PRECISELY what the uk needed for this moment in time, rebuilding from 14 years of catastrophic tory fuckwittery.

Foolish, deluded, and gutless.
You're welcome.

[David Carslaw @Davedaveydave]

@AndyBurnhamGM You are making a huge mistake and making yourself a large number of enemies with this. To call for stability while creeping about pushing to depose Starmer is utterly shameful. You will also get exactly the same treatment from the media so I hope you are prepared.

[Malcolm Tucker @gorbalsgoebbels]

Well done Elon Musk. And all the other cunts.

It now seems the voters do not matter in British politics.

The media hounded Starmer and then the fuckwit Labour MPs joined in.

Shameful.

[Mary Lefteris ex Labour @MaryLefteris]

PM please don’t resign.

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer.

Feel free to share.

@benonwine A brain?

[David Carslaw @Davedaveydave]

Clueless rantings of an utter nutter.

[Ant Middleton @antmiddleton]

Who threw a 3 year old into a crocodile enclosure? Someone must have witnessed it? Identify this individual immediately!
I’ve just about seen it all now. Your children under @UKLabour are in danger, grave danger! Please realise & wake up to this!
Makerfield, what are you thinking?!? 🤦🏻‍♂️
Time to ramp things up now. First to rid the country of a dangerous and damaging Labour Party and second to secure our borders, bring back our British standards, values and discipline, starting with our Police force and Fire service and thirdly to reinstall our British cultured umbrella, prioritise it above all cultures to which our law & order and justice system sits under and where we can keep a close eye on them and rid them of the 2 tier system that Labour have forced upon them.
We’ve got our work cut out however I’ve never turned away from a challenge no matter how big. This is for our children and our children’s children! 🫡🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@JasonBourne1986 Feel sorry for you mate, the man's a complete fraud.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Feels like this should be a big story, no?

Russia behind attacks targeting the British Prime Minister.

Take your feelings for Keir Starmer out of this equation and the fact that it doesn't even make the LBC 7am headlines is astonishing.

Wind back a few years and imagine if this had happened to Boris Johnson — our media would be talking about nothing else.

The fixation within the media on promoting Nigel Farage and the obsession with tearing down Keir Starmer has led us into a news vortex that is almost impossible to peer out of.

Sure the social media ban is big news and sure, there are other stories to talk about, but this is, effectively, a state-sponsored assassination attempt on our Prime Minister.

Right? Or am I missing something here?

We have lost all journalistic integrity within our mainstream news broadcasters — see Beth Rigby turning a press conference about social media, into a question about Starmer being ousted yesterday.

Occasionally, I feel like I'm going mad; have we all lost our collective memories of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

By orders of magnitude, the two worst Prime Ministers that UK has ever had to endure, but we are being force-fed the line that Starmer is far worse.

I'm not a Starmer fanboy, despite what the inevitable comments below will say, but I do think he has a level of competence that vastly outstrips the aforementioned Truss/Johnson debacle.

So this story is moved on because it is too Starmer-positive — it might create feelings of sympathy in some — and that cannot be allowed.

What a ludicrous and disgraceful state of reporting we are being subjected to.

[David Carslaw @Davedaveydave]

@alex_crook Martin was a disaster at Rangers. Easily our worst ever manager. If you think he was just 'not perfect' then you clearly don't have a clue.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice

And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense

Such a tiresome waste of time

[Kernow Q @KernowQ]

A good moment to remind everyone that the tories increased national debt from 1tn to 3tn.
The interest on this alone costs nearly twice the defence budget.
They also slashed the defence budget.
The tories are responsible for the dire state of the uk.

[HENRY MORRIS @mrhenrymorris]

Struggling to recollect any legitimate concerns rioting after these abhorrent episodes. Maybe there's another agenda at play.

[Joolz Denby @JoolzDenby]

As of June 2026, 30 women have been violently killed in Northern Ireland since 2020. You didn’t go riot for them, did you? Fucking burning cars & houses with families and disabled children in them, you absolute dregs of humanity. Racist scum.

HISTORY LESSON

The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders.

On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell.

Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents).

Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices.

This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations.

Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance.

The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual.

This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites.

The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure.

It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones.

Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data.

89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white.

Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups".

The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime.

The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict.

The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred".

A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates".

Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product.

Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence.

Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders.

Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions.

The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%.

And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat.

A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging.

A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend.

The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite.

The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.
