The most duplicitous UK politician in my lifetime.

@matthewsyed What evidence is there of Starmer being a good man?

[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.

@AaronBastani So how does a regular person square the fact hundreds of people will die so the US/Israel can impoverish other countries?

@TheAnfieldBuzz Personally think he’d have been booed regardless of how he left

The idea that because we lost in the CL twice to RM matters is nonsense

Get some sun on your face Trent and enjoy Spain

@labourlewis Just defect to Greens already

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Let's make hope normal again.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

This is what Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood once thought about Israel.

Follow her advice from 2014 - join our lobby of Parliament on Tuesday to “let out an almighty roar and tell this government we will not stay silent until the Palestinians are free!”

[David Jamieson @David_Jamieson7]

The Starmer ID card thing is his ‘leadership style’ all over:

Petty authoritarianism, instantly unites all against him, no natural base of support, reheated New Labour, incoherent, not part of any wider vision or idea, hobbled from the beginning by association with him.

Honestly not sure if the follow up tweet to this can ever be topped

@HenryJackson87 He’s also massively missing Trent, why is no one saying this?
