🚨KEIR STARMER AND LORD HERMER LED WITCH HUNT AGAINST INNOCENT IRAQ WAR VETERANS

- Hundred of British soldiers pursued for FALSE war crimes
- 13 years of hounding British Soldiers
- THEY WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY REPEATEDLY
- Starmer, acting Pro Bono, FOR FREE, tried to get them imprisoned
- The evidence was all FALSE

He is a traitor to this country
He is a liar and a fraud
He must be removed from office for this

[Laurence Fox @LozzaFox]

No wonder he wants to cancel free speech.

Perhaps he should watch Nicolae Ceaușescu’s last public appearance before his own bodyguards turned on him.

There's a line in a democracy that, once crossed, changes everything: when elections cease to be an obligation and become a variable. That line has now been crossed in Britain, and it's the state's own elections watchdog saying so.

The Electoral Commission has been explicit: Labour's justification for delaying local elections is not legitimate. Not unwise. Not clumsy. Illegitimate. Extending mandates damages public confidence, undermines local legitimacy, and creates a clear conflict of interest by letting councils decide how long they can avoid voters. In any functioning democracy, that would end the matter. Here, the government presses on regardless.

That's the scandal. This is no longer a party political dispute or a row between Reform and Labour. The referee has intervened and said the game is being rigged, and the players have decided to ignore the whistle. When a government continues with election delays after being told by the independent authority charged with protecting electoral integrity that its reasoning does not hold, the issue stops being reform and becomes power protecting itself.

The language Labour uses is revealing. Elections are framed as an inconvenience. Voters are framed as an administrative burden. Democracy is reduced to a cost-saving exercise, something to be postponed if the spreadsheets look untidy or the reorganisation plans are mid-flow. Ministers speak of "capacity constraints" as if the right to vote is a luxury item that must wait until the filing cabinets are rearranged. In a democracy, administration exists to serve elections. Elections do not exist to suit administration.

The conflict of interest identified by the Electoral Commission should alarm anyone who still believes in democratic norms. Councils are being asked whether they would like to delay the moment they must answer to voters. That's not consultation. It's self-dealing. No serious system allows those in power to decide how long they may remain there without consent. Yet this is now presented as a "locally led approach," as though outsourcing democratic suspension makes it virtuous.

Worse still is the uncertainty. Candidates have been selected. Campaigns have begun. Money has been spent. And with months to go before polling day, the government is still dangling the possibility of cancellation. The watchdog describes this uncertainty as unprecedented. That word matters. Democracies rely on predictability. Once elections become provisional, subject to last-minute ministerial approval, the entire process is degraded.

When challenged, ministers retreat into condescension. Chris Bryant waves away concerns as conspiracy and insists that "ordinary people" would think elections are "a bit daft." This is a familiar trick: speak for the public while denying them a voice. Redefine democratic rights as common-sense nuisances that sensible adults should stop fussing over. It's the rhetoric of managed democracy, where participation is tolerated only when it produces the correct outcome.

None of this is happening in isolation. Mayoral elections have already been postponed. Now council elections are being pushed back again. The pattern is clear. When the polls turn hostile, the timetable moves. When voters become unpredictable, the vote is delayed. Governments confident in their mandate do not need to buy time. They face the electorate and take their chances. Labour is not doing that because it knows what the numbers say.

The danger is not just that millions of people may be denied a vote next year. It's the precedent now being set. Once a government learns it can delay elections after the watchdog objects, after campaigns have begun and candidates are in place, the principle is broken. Elections become conditional. Democracy becomes something you are granted when those in power feel safe enough to allow it.

"Chris Bryant waves away concerns as conspiracy and insists that "ordinary people" would think elections are "a bit daft.""

Keir Starmer is still banging on about re-arming Britain.

Nobody is going to fight for you.
The military hate you.
The British public hate you.

Not a single British man or woman will put their lives on the line for Keir Starmer.

I am doing everything in my power in Parliament, and on the Public Accounts Committee, to represent the British taxpayer.

Because, and I really mean this, there is ZERO respect for taxpayer money in the civil service.

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

You are a worthless prick & under your leadership, your country is going down the toilet. You have achieved what all of Britain’s enemies failed to secure: full surrender.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Ed Davey was paid £833 an hour - over £220,000 in total - to advise lawyers who were acting for the Post Office. (Taking taxpayers’ money to persecute petrified, innocent people.)
As Postal Affairs minister, Davey refused to believe Alan Bates about Post Office bullying. But happy to jump into the trough after.
Despicable.

For the very first time in my life, and to say this as an ardent monarchist surprises even myself but I believe the Royal Family may END under this current King.

Do you feel the same?

I wanted to grow up in a Britain where CSE detectives didn’t ask me if I “consented to sexual activity” after I was abused from the age of 5.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain where the police didn’t show up at my door to threaten me after I exposed their failings on TV.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain that didn’t prioritise “community cohesion” and “race relations” over the protecting little girls from being raped and killed.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain where Labour politicians like you didn’t turn a blind eye to the systemic abuse of little girls.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain that didn’t refuse to prosecute 98.6% of rape cases.

I wanted to grow up in a Britain that didn’t trade little girls for votes.

How dare you try and lecture us on the
importance of protecting women and girls after you and your party spent decades betraying us.

You are a hypocrite and a liar, Keir Starmer.

[Laila Cunningham @policylaila]

Please repost. People need to know.
They promised justice for rape gang victims. Instead they get a limited inquiry, chaired by an insider.
It’s a cover-up because they’re petrified of what a real inquiry would expose.

🚨🇬🇧 UK Farmers Prepare to Take Action ‼️

“This is the last time we play nice - government isn’t gonna know what hit them”

“Tipping Dung, Road blockages, food shortages”

The 2030 Agenda looks to acquire all private farmland, this is why farmers are being persecuted not just in the UK but across the whole of Europe.

Said it before will say it again - Farmers will lead the major fightback against the Globalists when the time comes - support the farmers, they feed us all.
