This is somewhat point missing as this crowd came out of Labour.
Imagine if, instead of standing around like turkeys waiting to be shot, the Labour left had used their networks, resources and popularity, the stadiums full of young people turning out for left wing politics, to build something better. oh well! better luck next time dickheads!— j đľđ¸ (@janhopi) May 30, 2024

it's not nice or legit, the way she was treated. But just feel like MPs who keep a low profile and sleepwalk through the job and don't criticise the vile direction taken by Starmer, they only seem to get angry when they get fucked over themselves. There are millions of ppl getting fucked over every day in this country, to help these ppl is often cited as the reason why MPs joined the Labour Party, and of course about 90% of these fuckers are lying through their teeth.

My friend worked under Chris Ward, Starmer's advisor who's being imposed as a candidate in Brighton. My friend alleges Ward "basically bullied me out of the job. It was unrelenting: gaslighting, passive-aggressive." He says when he told Ward he was disabled, Ward "ramped it up." https://t.co/xg8x2pEvEZ— Alex Nunns (@alexnunns) May 30, 2024

if they all weren't so cowed by Starmer, including McD who has been silent, then there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises a month before a GE. I know it's harsh but I have no respect for MPs who are treading water/doing bland canvassing pics and campaigning for a nasty right-wing shitshow and going silent while soft left candidates are getting deselected etc.. There is no point being in the party if you are too shook by Kieth to actually be a participant in political arguments anymore imo.

during the cultural revolution in China ppl like Starmer's dad would have had struggle board with "bourgeois capitalist roader scum" on it tied around their neck and the red guard's might have thrown him off a bridge after cutting his balls off. Sometimes extremely easy decisions have to be made!
Could you imagine being such a dishonest operator, so lacking in self-awareness and basic human decency that your dad owned the Oxted Toolmaking Company and you went to a posh school, and yet you allude to "struggles" that you have experienced. Fuck and die Kieth.

Well okay but Keir resigned from the shad cab in 2016 so it's fair to assume his dad had/has different politics from him, but of course I don't know more than that. I do remember reading somewhere that his dad was disgusted at his son's behaviour at that time

These ludicrous cunts
Pressed on whether he was suggesting that Abbott wasnât fit to stand as an MP again, Kyle said:
These are real issues about standards, and Iâm not going to apologise for the fact that Keir Starmer, when he became leader of the Labour party, raised the standards by which sitting MPs, candidates, anybody that represents the Labour party and speaks on his behalf, are held.
That is why just today another Tory MP endorsed the Labour party That is because of the standards that weâre holding ourselves to and we are holding ourselves to extremely high standards.
