Starmer’s Legacy Will Be That He Supplied Weapons to and Defended
Israel’s Genocide in Gaza Whilst Destroying Civil Liberties in Britain
Mehdi Hassan Interviews Owen Jones About His Initial Support for
Starmer & What Burnham Represents
You will
forgive me if I can’t help gloating at the fall of the most amoral,
unprincipled liar to have darkened the doors of No. 10. Compare to Starmer even
Liz ‘Lettuce’ Truss and Boris Johnson smell like roses.
Even in his resignation speech Starmer couldn’t help but lie. He claimed
to have ripped out the poison of anti-Semitism from the Labour Party whereas
what he did was to expel the supporters of the Palestinians, opponents of
Zionism and the Genocide that he helped enable.
I Hate Keir Starmer
Starmer
managed to expel a record number of Jews,
anti-Zionist and anti-racist Jews of course. Being Jewish in the Labour Party
meant you were five times more
likely to be expelled than non Jews. This was how Starmer fought ‘anti-Semitism’.
Underneath the
rhetoric, Starmer was an anti-Semite. Jews were there to legitimise British imperialism.
Anti-Zionist Jews were invisible as they didn’t suit his foreign policy agenda.
Anti-Semitism and Zionism have always gone together and Starmer was the
personification of the anti-Semitic non-Jewish Zionist.
I am
surprised though that he forgot to mention in his statement the debt he owed to
Peter Mandelson. It was Mandelson who brought Morgan McSweeney in from the cold
and enabled his candidacy for Labour Leader even if he was in the end responsible
for triggering the process that led to his resignation.
I thought at
first it was an oversight but then I realised that paying tribute to a corrupt friend
of Jeffrey Epstein, a Zionist and paedophile, would have been a step too far.
There was
also no mention of Starmer’s role in attacking basic civil liberties alongside
a compliant judiciary. All in the name of ‘national security’. Like in all
police states there is no longer a right to demonstrate or protest. There was
no difference between Starmer and Sunak/Truss when it came to the constant
attacks on the right to protest.
Congratulations to @AndyBurnhamGM on his victory in the Makerfield by-election.
We look forward to working with you as you return to the Commons and wish you well as the new Labour MP for Makerfield. https://t.co/7HjUtTWMNA

I welcome
the fact that the rat has deserted the sinking ship. It is no comfort of course
that Starmer’s successor, Andy Burnham, will be no different. Changing the
captain when the ship is heading for the rocks will make no difference unless
it also changes course.
The failure
of Starmer’s ‘Labour’ Government was not simply because of his own palpable
inadequacies. The problem lies with the political project that sees Labour
propping up a failing imperialist state.
Despite my loathing
for Starmer and all he stood for, I take pride in two things. First the fact
that Starmer was the first person to welcome my expulsion from the Labour Party,
with a solitary word, ‘good’. One of his
characteristics is that he is a man of few words and even fewer ideas.
Like Horatio Bottomley Starmer was a corrupt right-wing
nationalist but unlike him he was anything but popular. Starmer’s corruption
was not so much financial, though there was plenty of that, but a corruption of the
political process. Starmer came to power through the Labour Together outfit, who hid their donations for fear of what
they might reveal.
Starmer also
hid the donations he received from right-wing Zionists,
businessmen and crooked financiers from Labour Party voters when he stood for
Labour Leader. He relied on the rules rather than being honest and open about
who was funding him. His cynicism was such that he stood on a left-wing
manifesto whilst relying on right-wing businessmen to fund his campaign.
Amongst
those who donated to Starmer was
Lord
Waheed Alli £100,000 (he also gave financial backing to
Andy Burnham in the 2015 Labour leadership contest).
Bob Latham
£100,000.
Martin
Taylor £95,000, a hedge fund manager.
Clive
Hollick, £50,000 a businessman & co-founder of the Institute
for Public Policy Research.
Trevor
Chinn £50,000 a notorious Zionist who funds
Labour Friends of Israel.
Peter
Coates £25,000, Bet365 owner.
Martin
Clarke £25,000, former AA finance director
Paul Myners £10,000, ex-CEO at Marks & Spencers. Along with Martin Taylor, Myners helped finance
the anti-Corbyn group Labour Tomorrow.
This
totalled £455,000 compared to £81,400 from three right-wing trade unions, UNISON,
Community and USDAW. This is how Starmer’s Labour Party was captured.
It was an
honour and pleasure for me to know that I had antagonised Starmer to the extent
that he blocked me on X. Clearly my pearls of wisdom riled him.
Alexei Sayle
brought out a brilliant
video ‘Why I hate Keir Starmer’
which summed Starmer up perfectly. However I don’t hate Starmer, I despise him
and all he stands for.
Starmer was a
man of few talents with the exception of his ability to lie. Who else could
make 10 Pledges to get elected and then break every
single one?
The Pledge I
loved the most was No. 4 – Titled ‘Promote peace and human rights’. He said
‘No
more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put
human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make
us a force for international peace and justice.’
Starmer’s idea of
‘peace and human rights’ was supplying arms and intelligence to Israel so it
could carry out a genocide in Gaza. Starmer denied that there was a
genocide in Gaza despite Israel massacring tens of thousands of civilians, destroying 90% of
buildings including hospitals and schools and ethnic cleansing, raping and
torturing. But Starmer had no problem describing other massacres as genocide.
Starmer never
did explain why 8,000 dead in Srebenica was a
genocide but Gaza wasn’t a genocide. I doubt that even the worst neo-Nazi holocaust denier
could match him.
On 2
February 2020, two months before Labour’s leadership election, I wrote a blog Keir Starmer is the candidate that the Deep
State & the British Establishment
want you to vote for’ .
Unfortunately
most Labour Party members weren’t able to see through Starmer and his record
as Director of Public Prosecutions when he persecuted Julian Assange and protected Jimmy Saville.
There
is less excuse for Owen Jones who wrote an
article for The Guardian ‘Starmer can succeed, and he deserves our
support.’ There really was no excuse for this as a cursory dive into his
record as DPP would have shown he was fiercely reactionary and pro-Police and
contemptuous of civil liberties. I take no pleasure in once again being
right but the reason why it was so obvious was that I looked beyond the sound
bites and the wishful thinking to what Starmer’s actual record was. And
incidentally there was no excuse for being taken in by Starmer’s nonsense about
‘antisemitism’ either, except that Owen Jones too had not yet seen the light.
However let
it not be said that Starmer didn’t provide us with a certain amusement. The man
who proclaimed his honesty and integrity ended up taking over £100,000 in
freebies. The highest of any MP. Lord Ali provided him and his wife with thousands of pounds of
clothes. Even her knickers were paid for by the generous Ali.
Starmer declared himself
a ‘Zionist (i.e. racist) without qualification.’ And he told LBC that Israel had the right to
starve the Palestinians of Gaza and cut off water and fuel, before denying he said it.
Starmer was
so right-wing that even the anti-Semitic Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor
Orban, praised him.
Despite being
a practiced liar Starmer was never very good at it. Indeed he was never very good
at anything. His speeches were wooden, like a child trying too hard, with that
squeaky voice which told us he didn’t
mean a word of it.
Starmer came to power via Labour Together as Paul Holden documented in The Fraud. He then rewarded the central players in the conspiracy,
including Josh Simons and Morgan McSweeney. As soon as the heat became too much
Simons abandoned him for Andy Burnham leaving Starmer high and dry. The irony
is that Labour Together was anything
but together.
Many people
have commented on Starmer’s lack of personality or charisma. In a blog ‘Mogadon Man Assumes the Leadership of the
Labour Party’ straight after he was elected Labour Leader I saw that Starmer’s
personality was a reflection of his dishonesty.
To Starmer truth
and lies were mere matters of convenience. All that mattered was choosing which
was most beneficial. Starmer settled a libel action with Labour Party
staff alleging ‘anti-Semitism’, even though they didn’t have a case, because he
thought that that would ‘prove’ that Labour under Corbyn was anti-Semitic. The
kind of trickery that lawyers regularly engage in.
Starmer’s lack
of charisma was because he believed in nothing apart from his own personal advancement.
Starmer was a human rights lawyer who didn’t believe in human rights.
It was no
wonder that in his first speech as Labour leader all he could do was invent a story about his father. It was
tedium magnified to listen to the same story about his toolmaker father who
also owned the factory he worked in! Ironically Starmer’s dad was a Jeremy Corbyn supporter. He would have turned in his grave
to see how his son turned out.
None of us
know whether the rent boys who tried to set fire to Starmer’s house
had something on him. Difficult as it is to imagine, there is clearly more to
this story than meets the eye. And the one thing they were not is agents of
Russia as the BBC tells us.
Still no one
can say Starmer didn’t manage to achieve anything. He obtained the second
highest Labour majority on the lowest vote for a majority government (34%), 6%
less than Corbyn in 2017. Starmer even managed, as an incumbent Prime Minister,
to secure a lower percentage of support in his own constituency in 2024 than in
2019. His majority was halved from 22,766 in 2019 to
11,572 in 2024.
Starmer expelled more Jewish members of the Labour Party ‘to combat antisemitism’ than all previous leaders combined. That’s like expelling people of colour to fight racism. He destroyed the left on a lie, he won power on lies & he resigned with more lies about his time in… https://t.co/BKNdDDJBTI

Ironically this
was because of the 7,312 votes of ex-ANC MP Andrew Feinstein, who besides being a Jewish
anti-Zionist is, unlike Starmer principled.
However Starmer
does have one achievement to his name. Starmer was the most hated and despised Prime Minister on record.
I won’t wish
Starmer well in whatever new career he takes up because there are too many dead
Palestinian children who might have lived but for him.
Contrary to the view of Mehdi Hassan in the interview with Owen Jones, I don’t believe that Andy Burnham represents any fundamental change with Keir Starmer. He has already made his position clear that he doesn’t believe there is a Genocide in Gaza.
It’s not any surprise therefore that he has been given a warm welcome by the Israel Embassy front, Labour Friends of Israel.
It is also reported that has had a blazing row with Starmer because he wants to increase ‘Defence’ i.e. War expenditure. If so we are in for more of the same but with a smiling face .
I suspect
that Burnham will have an equally short honeymoon to
that which Starmer enjoyed or rather didn’t enjoy. He supported the Iraq War and was a devoted Blairite. There is nothing left-wing
about Burnham. His only virtue is not being Keir Starmer.
