Keir Starmer rightly receives a standing ovation from the entire House as he bids farewell to Parliament.
He will go down as a genuinely honourable public servant, and one of the most unfairly maligned leaders in modern British politics.
He became a target of a new wave of politics driven by hostility, misinformation and propaganda, designed not to strengthen democracy, but to erode trust in it, whose goal is to concentrate power into the hands of those with the greatest wealth, resources and influence.
A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.
A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.
A truly sad day for British democracy.
His full resignation speech:
@AllisonPearson I’m British and I don’t hate him. I see him as a decent person who wants the best for the working people of Britain (unlike his predecessors). And I see how the right wing media has sought to destroy him from the outset by exaggerating his failings and ignoring his successes.
I've made some very popular posts linking Farage and Russia. Unsurprisingly, my posts are now being almost totally suppressed on this platform.
Please repost if you see this.
Britain is seeing wave of right wing thuggery, hate crime and rioting.
This is the result of Nigel Farage.
This is the result of Suella Braverman.
This is the result of GB News and the Daily Fail.
Let's show that love is louder than hate!
RT if you stand against racism!
I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
I knew Rod Stewart got rich by ripping off the music of black blues and soul singers, many of whom died in poverty. I hadn't realised he was a lifelong supporter of racist politicians.

I am absolutely gutted to hear that Liz Truss has defected from The Conservative Party and has joined Reform.
The thought that one of Britain’s greatest Prime Ministers will now become one of Nigel’s puppets fills me with deep regret.
A very sad day indeed.

Is there anyone #Labour hasn't pissed off yet? Asking for a pensioner, farmer, female, Union, student, small business owner, big business owner, hospice, WASPI, car driver, working person... Patridge in a sodding pear tree 🤷♀️🙄 (Black holes need not respond. You've never been more popular 😉) #Starmer
