Keir Starmer: "We don't have £4.5 billion for defence."
Keir Starmer the next day: "I’m announcing £4.5 billion for more cycle lanes and zebra crossings."
He’s just reached the point where he’s just laughing at us all now.
You really couldn't make it up.
So the ministers who haven’t seen the Defence Investment Plan thinks it’s great.
And
The ministers who have seen the Defence investment Plan thought it was so bad they resigned! https://t.co/rZTzJ5vt9W
Nigerian migrant Adedapo Adegbola, 40, who only arrived in the UK in 2022, stabbed 23-year-old British psychology student Stephanie Irons to death in her own home after she ended their brief relationship. He slit her throat. And Keir Starmer wants you to remain calm.
Birmingham City Council has admitted there was illegal "family voting" in the council elections. Whole families entered polling booths to vote. When challenged, the officials were abused.
But when @Nigel_Farage pointed this out, he was howled down.
One threw a stone at a police shield- Prison sentence- 2 years.
The second broke a police women’s nose and physically assaulted other officers- Walked Free.
One is White & British. The other is Not.
@Keir_Starmer@DavidLammy - and you wonder why the country’s on FIRE ?🔥
The row over defence spending which cost John Healey his job makes Sir Keir Starmer's attempt to give the Chagos islands to Mauritius and rent back the Diego Garcia base for £30billion (admittedly over a long time period) seem even more inexplicable. More at @GBNEWS.
There's no money for defence but he could find £30 bn to give to Mauritious for the Chagos Islands. There needs to be an inquiry into all Starmer's dealings as PM after he's gone.
🚨SHAMELESS BLACK MIGRANT BRAGS: “I WAS IN THE MOOD” SO I SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A WOMAN
This filthy Black Eritrean invader openly admits raping a white woman because he felt like it — the same way he did it back home. He’s been here three years, known to police, and shows zero shame or remorse.
We are importing violent Black men who treat our white women like animals. Enough! Mass deportations NOW — send every last one back before more innocents suffer!

Councils are warning England fans not to fly the St George’s Cross during the World Cup, claiming it is “unsafe” and bad for “community cohesion”.
In England. During a World Cup.
If you are offended by England’s flag, feel free to make your way to the nearest airport.
You saw a man disabled man have his eyes gouged out two days ago.
But this is the saddest thing you’ve seen in a long time?
Okay, this is why people are sick and tired of it all.
