Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.

Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.

On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.

And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.

But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.

History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

I'm Jewish, British & 64

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & others were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?

NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I feel I have an answer and it is profoundly disturbing

[Chimney O'Hare @chimneyohare]

@RFCGW You are no different from the people you profess to criticise.
Can we not put playground politics to one side for two fucking weeks and support the same side?

[Helen the Zen (reboot) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍉 @glaisian]

It’s noticeable how much more aggressive journalists are with the likes of Sturgeon, Polanski and Corbyn than they are with Boris Johnson, Farage and that twat from Restore. #C4News

Bigger fish to fry. But you won't. We know why.

Nigel Farage 38

Very, very biased selection, even more than Fiona Bruce.

[Chimney O'Hare @chimneyohare]

@oakroyd I remember texas and Hepburn and travis also played. Earlier in the day edwyn Collins was playing as well. Dont think Edwyn was on TOTP though. It was a different programme.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Farage...

Rails against WFH while employing his wife to WFH

Rails against the EU while taking the EU pension

Rails against “elites” while being bankrolled by them and happily hobnobbing with them

Rails against people speaking other languages while his own kids speak German.

Do you spot the pattern?

Rules for thee, but not for me.

@Johncarberry9 Didnt need the GB 20+ years ago. But we need every fan to sing and support their club like we used to.

For people who conflate Hamas with all Palestinians…

Hamas won power in the 2006 election

There have been no elections since

They won with 11% of the votes of the total population

11%

…and yet 100% are paying the price.

[Bob Vylan @BobbyVylan]

Ban Bob Vylan? The people said ‘Nah’. We need artists that speak up. Our album ‘Humble As The Sun’ is back in the charts and, as an independent band releasing music on our own label, it shows the power of the people. You can’t get dropped if you own the label.
Thank you all!

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

Jeremy Corbyn - an MP for 42 years - has been on #bbcqt 5 times (twice on 'Leader's specials').

Nigel Farage - an MP for less than a year - has been on 38 times.

Zarah Sultana - an MP for 6 years - has never been on.

Tell me again how @bbcquestiontime is fair and impartial.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.

They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.

If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

⚠️Firefighters are taking to the streets speaking to voters in Runcorn and Helsby with a clear message:

❌Firefighters DO NOT TRUST Reform UK

A Runcorn firefighter says: "Farage pretends to be anti-establishment... but we see through the spin."
