Have you ever been more disgusted by a British Government than Keir Starmer’s?
He makes me sick to my stomach.
He has betrayed the Labour Party, and like Blair, he is a war criminal.

If you support Starmer, you are supporting Zionism, and you are supporting neoliberal austerity policies, you are also supporting the dismantling of the foundations of the Labour Party, and Blue Labour’s purging of the left. You are supporting a war criminal who does whatever Trump wants him to do

Paul Holden’s new book “The Fraud” offers the most damning portrayal yet of a political project at once proudly Machiavellian but entirely devoid of moral and intellectual substance.

The Starmer Project -A Journey to the Right exposes Starmer’s campaign for the leadership in 2020 on a promise to continue Corbyn's policies if elected leader but purged the left from the party leadership upon gaining power.

Any Starmer, Cooper, Lammy, Mandelson, McSweeney, Akehurst, Glasman, Thornberry, Reeves, Reynolds supporters trying to defend a man and a party who constitute a right wing mafia outfit, who purged the left to serve Trump loving corporations like Blackrock backing a genocide will be blocked.

The UK blocked UN discussions of genocide allegations to prioritize exports.
More recent accusations involve the 2010–2024 Conservative governments' arms sales to Saudi Arabia (used in Yemen) and Israel (used in Gaza)

The UK Corporate Coup - What They’re Not Telling You

I’ve spent several years researching UK Freeports and “free zones.” What I found is the largest transfer of sovereignty from democratic institutions to private corporations in British history.
