It was time for Keir Starmer to go, he banged on about his achievements but for the vast majority we saw no change, no lower costs of living, increases in energy costs, failure to tax the super wealthy, failed to push new energy alternatives & cont’d demonise those on benefits!
But Starmer was never the real problem.
It's the Labour Party and their corporate and vested interests.
Join the movement who are replacing them and taking on Reform.

Bills up.
Wages too low.
Record profits for Oil & Gas.
50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.
Shit in our rivers.
Pensioners jailed for protesting.
Migrants thrown under the bus.
Supporting a Genocide.
That's Starmer's legacy.
It is going to be the Green Party, in alliance with working class movements, environmental and social justice movements, that can stand up to Reform to prevent the disaster of Nigel Farage in Downing Street. (5/5)
We are still waiting to see which version of Andy Burnham is going to show up in Downing Street. While he has talked about a change of course, the early indications are not encouraging and suggest more of the same with better communication skills. (3/5)
The vested interests that are holding this country back need to be confronted, with wealth taxes on the super rich, utilities taken into public ownership, rent controls and affordable housing, and an end to support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. (2/5)
Our country needs a bold change of direction. Starmer lost the confidence of the country because of his abject failure to challenge the power and wealth of an establishment which has taken for themselves while leaving the vast majority in a cost of living crisis. (1/5)
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

THEY ARE BASTARDS!
We just got an email sent to MSE. The spelling was awful, and it was quite tough to understand. Lower down, the writer later explained she was 78 and her disability had stopped her being able to spell. So perhaps it is a stroke, or something similar.
I've tidied it and summarised below, changing some identifying details. In a nutshell, it was this...
"I invested, Martin, with Quotum when you first announced it on TV. What an opportunity for me to buy my own flat. My manager there passed me through to a nice man who asked me for £350 more. He showed me it was growing. I did what he told me to do."
She then goes on to explain how she really wanted her flat and she gave more and more money. And she has nothing left to help with her disability.
I'm honestly in tears typing this. These types of scam ads have now been going on for a decade. I have spent my career trying to help people with their finances. It feels visceral to get this, and to feel that this reputation has been perverted by criminals to steal from someone who is clearly so vulnerable leaves me feeling nauseous.
So many people, both vulnerable and not, lose money and see their lives and wellbeing destroyed. It's now seven years since I sued Facebook. And yet still nothing is being done.
Big tech makes £3bn a year from these scammers. We have a law in place to make them responsible for these ads they're paid to publish, yet it isn't implemented. How many more of these do I have to receive - and far worse, how many more people have to go through this?
This is relentless. It is wrong. Government has to take action! I wrote to the PM just two weeks ago on this very issue. I've not heard back yet.
(We are, of course, going to try and point her in the right direction to get help, but that will be stressful for her too)
Like him or loathe him but, on this particular matter, Keir Starmer is 100% correct.
Farage’s response yesterday shows us ‘exactly who he is’… a rage-bating racist with no respect nor conscience.
His followers refuse to see it… which tells you all you need to know about them.
If cutting support pushes 400,000 more people into poverty, it's not a saving — it's a cost shifted elsewhere.
Poverty drives ill health, housing insecurity and pressure on public services.
UBI+ would provide a secure income floor while protecting disability-related support.
NO he won’t be “out in just over 20 years” - that’s the minimum term before he can apply for parole
N0 he didn’t get a lighter sentence because of the knife - he has deliberately cut out the bit that says he got a LONGER sentence
If he was still a solicitor he’d get struck off
When people call welfare benefits "generous", they reveal how little they understand disability, poverty and real-world costs. Try paying rent, bills, food, transport and disability-related expenses on benefit rates. The word generous quickly disappears.
When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.
Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."
The fact @LindsayHoyle_MP was emailing Israeli politicians is bad enough but to use the powers of the @CommonsSpeaker to block publication of these communications is an affront to democracy. They need to be published and he needs to be removed from office.
Labour’s Palantir scandal.
Emails appear to show Peter Mandelson using his position to arrange access to government ministers for Palantir - the US military tech company with access to NHS Data.
We demand to know what access was arranged, what meetings took place, and what was discussed?
