After Labour's utter rejection by the people of Gorton & Denton, Starmer says he'll just "keep on going." He truly has no idea. Clueless. Like a party guest who won't leave and squats on the sofa grinning when you want to go to bed. Someone has to show him where the door is. #StarmerOut

Starmer is destroying the Labour party with his cowardice, his lies, his appeasement of Israel, his denial of genocide, his authoritarianism and his big fat ego. Good riddance. #Gorton&Denton is just the beginning.

Today we can celebrate a Green win. A hopeful victory for inclusive, kinder politics. May this be the start of much good.

But - rather brilliantly - we can also celebrate a Labour loss. Absolute repudiation of their cynical cruelty and the harms wrought. May this be the beginning of their end.

I'm so glad the Greens won Gorton & Denton. By quite a margin as well. Labour now saying they have to show what they're about. Quite an admission that people can't tell what you stand for. The Greens had a decent hard-working local woman who voters could relate to. Labour had lies & zombie Starmer.

Absolutely agree with this, even if you think that the future of the progressive left is still with the Labour party.

They desperately need something to shock them out of their insane strategy of "Nigel Farage is right about everything, vote Labour".

I sincerely hope enough people vote Green in the Gorton & Denton by election today to win it for them. We really need to move on from the gruesome Starmer and his awful government and a Green victory will help the country do that. #GortonAndDenton #byelection

It's clearer than ever that it's Green vs Reform in Gorton and Denton.

A vote for Hannah Spencer is the only way to stop Reform's hate and make hope normal again.

I loved Jesse Jackson. We were friends for many years. He was a political force to be reckoned with. May he rest in peace 😢

Starmer U-turns for the 15th time after being told that proposed cancellation of elections would be illegal.

If only we had a PM with some legal expertise, these policies wouldn't be put forward in the first place. #StarmerOut

Oslo’s Legacy: De Facto Annexation and an International Mandate for Subjugation The Oslo Accords were never a peace process. They were distractions, a scam to neutralize the Palestinian movement and give reactionary Arab dictators a

US, UK, EU aren't bystanders

They armed the genocide & shielded Israel from accountability

Now they watch Israel erase the Palestinian people culturally & politically

Palestinian leadership advanced their obligations for promises Israel never planned to keep & the world never meant to enforce

Keir Starmer Allies Funded Smear Campaign Against Journalists A think tank that helped get Keir Starmer into power paid for a smear campaign against journalists who were investigating how it was funded.

Starmer's orcs caught smearing again. It's what they did to Corbyn/McDonnell to stop a decent government being elected. The Labour Right would rather let Tories in than see the Left get elected. A government for the people would get in the way of their self-enrichment

Weekly Briefing: Israel legalizes annexation while governments crack down on solidarity Netanyahu presses the U.S. toward confrontation with Iran as Israel deepens its grip on the West Bank and Western governments intensify their crackdown on Palestine organizing.

"In the United States and Europe, governments continue to escalate efforts to criminalize Palestine solidarity ... governments are trying to turn Palestine solidarity into something that can be policed, prosecuted, and deterred."

Keir Starmer has a unique talent – to alienate absolutely everyone | Nesrine Malik Who is his constituency now? Not the left or the right – and not the centre any more. That’s why there’s been a nosedive in the polls, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

"Let me be clear and make no mistake ... there is in Starmer something for everyone to deplore ... he has taken stances that have established him in the minds of many people as devoid of principle and compassion ..."

Starmer is exactly that - a void. #StarmerOut

Zack Polanski is a genuine human rights advocate, unlike that imposter - Keir Starmer.

Polanski demolishes denial of Starmer's authoritarianism Trevor Phillips suggested the government doesn't arrest people for things they say; Polanski reminded him about the Palestine Action travesty

"It’s not just Palestine Action. We’ve seen authoritarianism over mandatory ID cards. We’ve seen the authoritarianism of scrapping jury trials. Keir Starmer is a deeply desperate caretaker prime minister who is clinging on to power by trying to crush dissent."

Palestine Action Has Defeated the Government: What Happens Next? | Harriet Williamson The group’s proscription as a terrorist organisation was unlawful and ‘disproportionate’, judges have ruled. But the fight isn’t quite over yet. Harriet Williamson reports.

"Police forces that made arrests under the Palestine Action ban could be hit with a wave of lawsuits following the group’s “monumental victory” in court, as protestors are encouraged to explore the possibility of legal redress."

Frankly amazing that the British judiciary doesn’t remember Diplock courts, extensive censorship, authoritarian police and army powers, state paid informers who were active combatants, and the collusion of state and loyalist paramilitaries in targeting civil rights activists. Mmmmm.

The ban on Palestine Action, now ruled unlawful, was described as "one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history." This ban was put in place by a Labour government and a PM who is a lawyer. #Corruption #Tyranny #Gaza #Abuse

The UK ban on Palestine Action is ruled unlawful in the High Court. Starmer and Cooper should now resign. They should be prosecuted for misconduct in public office. All those arrested and/or imprisoned because of this unlawful ban should be compensated. #Gaza #Palestine #StarmerOut

Keir Starmer is the bandage Labour can’t rip off for fear of opening old wounds | Rafael Behr The party’s MPs know their leader is failing but they are paralysed by fear of a contest with no obvious successor, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
"Starmer is reviled by too many voters as the archetypal status-quo politician – the incarnation of everything people hoped they were disposing of at the last election.
There is no coming back from that."
Yet another Guardian opinion piece on the end of Starmer.

No, he shouldn't. He should have kept them at a distance. A very far distance. They don't change if you treat them decently, they just take advantage, as Starmer did.

Yes, he has all the hallmarks of someone evil. His lack of morality and conscience seems to allow him to participate in atrocities without a qualm.

12.02.2026 16:54 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0

He,sadly, wasn’t sitting on his hands during the genocide in Gaza. He was actively participating. Lending the RAF from Cyprus for IDF surveillance is not passive nor is supplying Israel with weaponry.
He’s evil.

Behold the incredible shrinking Starmer: the PM who promises more while giving less | Aditya Chakrabortty It is not just this doomed government but the Labour party itself that is disappearing before our very eyes, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

"The refrain that Starmer is a “decent” man does not fit his record of deceiving his way to the top of the Labour party, sitting on his hands during the massacre in Gaza or clamping down on protest against it."

This 10-point plan would allow Keir Starmer to get a grip on his government. He should read it and fast | John McTernan Things are terrible right now, but he has a radical manifesto to draw on, a landslide majority and breathing space. He must seize the day, says former Labour party adviser John McTernan

A 10-point plan for Starmer's government to get this country back on the road. A lot of it makes good sense.
