The first major wave of online misinformation resulted in Brexit, a decision that the majority of economists regard as the most damaging economic choice Britain has made in modern times, making millions of working families poorer.
Now it appears a second wave may succeed in forcing out a democratically elected Prime Minister who in a short timeframe has a track record of delivering policy designed to help millions of working families. Not a perfect man, but certainly one of the better PMs of the last 30 years or so.
A wave of gross & obvious misinformation, spread and amplified by foreign-owned social media platforms, in a deliberate campaign designed to indoctrinate UK citizens, may have toppled a British Prime Minister.
We are going down a very dark path here.
The issue isn't Starmer, per se, it's the fact that we all now know, whoever is PM, unless it's some far right leader with friendly tax policies for the ultra wealthy, they will be met by a barage of misinformation and relentless online attacks: accusations they support p**dophiles & r*pists, that they jail 12,000 innocent people every year for tweeting; and all the usual misleading, manipulative BS designed to exploit people's emotions.
This won't stop until they have installed the party they want. A party that will be focussed purely on optimising the affairs of its wealthy backers, and not on the working people and families of Britain.
The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure.
There is no sabotage. This is insane.
No matter what happens next and who the next PM will be, Starmer @Keir_Starmer ahould always be remembered as the Prime Minister who stood up to Trump and told him where to shove his illegal war. Starmer did that, and we should honour and thank him for it
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:
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 50 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
When two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, a COBR meeting was called within hours.
When five Muslims were stabbed in Scotland, where was the COBR meeting?
Maybe there’s a good reason. Maybe there isn’t.
But if government responses differ, the public are entitled to ask why.
The contrast between the coverage of the Edinburgh attack and the Golders Green stabbings is extraordinary. It’s impossible to see any explanation other than very crude, simple racism.
Rupert Lowe & Yaxley-Lennon are responsible for this. Neither the BBC. Sky or The Mail Online are reporting the detail about the attacker claiming to be protecting women from Muslim rapists and The Telegraph aren’t reporting the attacks at all.
BREAKING NEWS:
A white Scottish man has committed an act of terrorism by stabbing 5 innocent people in Edinburgh.
The terrorist stated “I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters"
Fucking scumbag!
At 9AM, JD Vance claimed the Strait of Hormuz was open on Fox News.
At 10AM, Iran announced the Strait remains closed.
It could not be more clear that the Trump admin has absolutely no control over the situation right now.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
George Orwell, 1984
It was actually the multiple Nazi salutes, constant use of Nazi rhetoric, and vocal support for Germany’s far-Right political party which includes Nazis.
France had Trump sign the Iran deal in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles…the room where Germany signed its humiliating WWI surrender in 1919.
And if you think Macron didn’t know exactly what he was doing you haven’t been paying attention.
