If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
This isn’t even debatable. Sadly the main reason people hate Starmer is because they’ve been told to.
He hasn’t been perfect but he hasn’t killed thousands of people, or taken us into an illegal war, or wiped billions off our economy etc etc etc
Got to be honest there's a lot in what @Baddiel says here, you only have to look at the way some journos are foaming at the mouth with excitement over it. Can't help but think too many journos now try to make the news rather than report it 🤷🏻♂️
New idea. Next time we publish a report on a politician, I’ll keep the politician’s name blanked out for a week, and let everyone take positions before they find out who it is.
Just met a Reform UK voting couple who didn't know it opposed:
Rise in minimum wage
End of two-child benefit cap
Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs
Help with school uniforms
Horrified that they would lose big from Reform
How many others voted without knowing?
@elonmusk I know my British cousins well enough to know that the vast majority would not piss on you if you were on 🔥 @elonmusk. You know nothing about Britain. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.
Reform UK’s @Nigel_Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.
Farage is still silent.
It’s deafening.

Please know that this is baseless scaremongering from Trump and RFK.
There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism.
A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism, ADHD or intellectual disability.
Likewise, there is no good evidence linking vaccines (of any kind) to autism.
Spreading medical disinformation is a disgusting abuse of political power with dangerous real world consequences.
