History will judge Keir Starmer as a man who lied his way to the top of the Labour Party and then used that power to evoke Enoch Powell with “island of strangers”, keep children in poverty, attack disabled people, scapegoat refugees, strip back civil liberties, and hand our public services to Palantir.
A man who gave the top diplomatic job to the “best pal” of a convicted paedophile, said Israel has the right to cut off water and electricity to Gaza, rolled out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals, and kept the weapons flowing to the Israeli military as it committed genocide.
Good riddance.
Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people.
As Health Secretary, he helped drive NHS privatisation.
He joined Labour Friends of Israel, opposed BDS as “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, and called the Balfour Declaration “British values in action”. He is a Zionist.
Stop pretending he’s a radical alternative, he’s more of the same.
You:
- Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week
- Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK
- Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime)
- Haven't stopped arms sales
- Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state
You have enabled a genocide.
This photo should be on the front page of every major British newspaper.
But it won’t be — because, like the political class, they’re complicit.
It’s their genocide too.
They want us to believe Gary Linekar and the guy from Kneecap are terrorists while we are watching a genocide unfold before our very eyes, live-streamed in 4k
Palestinians are not “facing” starvation.
They are being starved to death by Israel.
Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity.
End the blockade — and stop the genocide.
Nothing to see here — other than the US President admitting that “a whole civilisation has been wiped out in Gaza”, while doubling down on ethnic cleansing & the mass displacement of 2.2 million.
A genocide that the US & UK have armed, funded & defended every step of the way.
A lesson in racism.
Israelis suffer brutality and massacres at the hands of a named culprit. Palestinian suffering isn't even acknowledged, no mourning extended to them, their oppressor mysterious and unnamed.
21 years ago, British journalist Tom Hurndall died after spending 9 months in a coma.
Tom was carrying a Palestinian child out of range of Israeli army gunfire when he was shot in the head.
We will never forget him, nor his vision of a free and independent Palestine.
