🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔

Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir.

Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”.

“Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.”

Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police.

“No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.”

Why the blatant double standard, Keir?

Either rioting is bad or it isn’t?

You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak.

Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters?

Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.

Morrisons just said the quiet part out loud.

Around 100 convenience stores are now on the chopping block.

Hundreds of jobs are at risk.

And the reason given is not “greedy supermarkets”, not “corporate profiteering”, not “Tory austerity”, not any of the slogans Labour spent years throwing around.

It is “significant cost increases resulting from Government policy choices”.

That is corporate-speak for: Labour made it more expensive to employ people, more expensive to operate, and harder to keep marginal stores alive.

This is the basic economic reality the Government pretends does not exist.

You can raise employer costs and call it “fairness”.
You can increase wage mandates and call it “growth”.

You can load more regulation onto businesses and call it “responsibility”.

You can demand lower prices at the till while making every input cost higher behind the scenes.

But eventually the spreadsheet wins.

And when the spreadsheet wins, shops close.

Not the imaginary shops in a Treasury forecast.

Real ones.
Local ones.
The ones people use for milk, bread, prescriptions, newspapers, top-up groceries and last-minute essentials.
The ones staffed by people who do not have the luxury of working from home while lecturing everyone else about “resilience”.

This is the part Labour never wants to own.

Their policies are always sold as compassion.

But the consequences are brutally practical.

A store that was just about viable becomes loss-making.

A worker who was just about employed becomes “at risk”.

A community that had a local shop now has an empty unit with metal shutters.

And then ministers will stand up and blame “global pressures”, “market conditions”, “corporate decisions” or “the legacy we inherited”.

NO.

Morrisons has named the problem directly: government policy choices.

That phrase matters.

Because it means this was not inevitable. It was chosen.

@Keir_Starmer @HarrietHarman The same Harriet Harman who was legal officer for Liberty while it affiliated with the Paedophile Information Exchange?

The same Harriet Harman who refused to apologise for it?

You really do hate the British people and their children, don't you? You are repulsive.

BREAKING: DOJ Chief of Public Affairs Admits Trump Indictments Are a Politically Motivated "Perversion of Justice"; Reveals Lawfare Involved in Making Former President a "Convicted Felon" Backfired on Democrats; Claims His Former Colleague Alvin Bragg's Case is "Nonsense" And Alleges He Was "Stacking Charges"

“He[Alvin Bragg] was just stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”

“I think the case is nonsense.”

“It’s a perversion of justice.”

“It’s a travesty of justice.”

“It’s a mockery of justice.”

“The whole thing is disgusting.”

“That’s why he’s[Trump] surging in the polls.”

Step 1: Ask rhetorically for anyone to provide a benefit of Brexit
Step 2: Get sent a long and fully referenced list
Step 3: Block the person who wrote the list, and anyone who sent it to you
Step 4: Write an article in @TheNationalNews claiming you can't find any
