My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

"I believed what I was told by liars" is one of only a few consistent positions the Labour Party has.
Yvette Cooper is asked why she banned Palestine Action

"I followed the clear advice.. which was very clear about the recommendation for proscription of this group.. you have to take really seriously advice you are given.."

This is clearly the line she's going with.

Josh Simons has refused to answer a single question from Democracy for Sale for 10 days

Now he is saying that the ‘PRCA is investigating’ so nothing else to see here

If he was so ‘distressed’ by the reports he commissioned why is he ok with a voluntary PR trade body being the only accountability?

Luke is part of a government that is selling off our NHS data to a US spy tech firm, Palantir.

Luke is part of a government that is subservient to Donald Trump - a dangerous President who wants to annex Greenland.

Luke is part of a government that is increasingly desperate & utterly rudderless.
Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.

The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.

Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws.

Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

Starmer is copying Green Party policy and then attacking the Greens on a policy stance that doesn’t exist. Classic Starmer.

He sounds like a Tory who’s fabricating another sound bite. When elected Labour promised “change”. Yet it’s just more of the same nonsense.

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

When angry centrists say “but if you don’t vote Labour you will get Reform” maybe they need to look a little more at why people feel betrayed by Labour rather than shaming the voters

It's essential Labour embodies serious grown up politics and makes the sensible decision to stand down.
Or it will continue to split the vote and open the door for Reform with its student politics.

C4News show how No 10 and Keir Starmer were told about Matthew Doyle

And that No 10 and Keir Starmer could have withdrawn the peerage before it was formally conferred

Shame on every Labour MP that still supports Keir Starmer as leader

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children.

Recognised refugees.

Denied the right to reunite with their children.

It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied.

So yes, he’s hated.
What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow.

Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal?

Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.
