More dishonesty: Starmer is attempting to smear Zack Polanski with this ad, but he doesn't know his history. Russia, under Putin, had been decommissioning nuclear weapons for years until the USA's withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019.
warontherocks.com/2022/01/why-...
Another dishonest social media advert from the Labour Party targeting political parties on the Left and Right of 'centrist' Labour - they are surrounded! Here, Starmer tries to smear both Reform and the Green Party by suggesting they tug the forlock to Putin. The top part of the advert targets Reform and says that the party is linked to Russian bribery, which is rich (pun intended) considering the £millions Starmer and his trough-guzzling front bench have snorted up from genocidal maniacs in Israel. The lower part of the advert targets Zack Polanski, mocking him for wanting peace in Europe. Again, this is rich (again, pun intended) considering the vast amount of your money Starmer has ploughed into arming Ukraine in a bid to prolong this forever war. Furthermore, the photographs of both Farage and Polanski are carefully chosen to highlight the teeth, which have been publicly criticised in a perfect example of disgraceful ad hominem attacks. The advert reads: This Labour government has imposed 100 new sanctions targeting Russia's revenues and military supplies. Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges. BBC, September 2025 "Nigel Farage" by Gage Skidmore is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 Zack Polanski mocked for saying he would ask Vladimir Putin to give up nuclear weapons.

A Downing Street source reports that Morgan McSweeney is on the verge of sacking Shadow Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in favour of a lifeform not based on cardboard. Frontrunner, and famous shit-in-a-sock, little Wesley Streeting apparently fits the bill being mostly composed of oil.
A photograph of little Wesley Streeting holding tightly on to a red document folder bought using your taxes from Barrow Hepburn & Gale for several hundred pounds, standing beside the heavily decorative wrought iron gates paid for by your great, great grandparents’ taxes, outside an elaborately pillared cloister on the palace estate, paid for by your great, great, great, great grandparents’ taxes. He wears a bland blue business suit, with a bland blue shirt, and a bland blue tie (all almost certainly paid for by your taxes, or, failing that, by any one of a number of corporate business tycoons desperate to prise free-at-the-point-of-use from between the desperately clinging fingers of our #NHX, which lies gasping on a trolley in a dark corner of every hospital corridor pleading through dimming eyes for a shot of medicine as the Secretary of State for Healthy Profit slides by on a tiny, humming e-scooter while desperate consultants and administrators trip over patients and porters as they sprint to keep up) to complement his bland, blue politics. The execrable git sports an excitable grin about his mirthless, and merciless face. His tiny little fist is clenched because he cannot quite believe that his unremarkable brand of obsequious, cow-towing has landed him here, at the very heart of official corruption.

And here we have a perfectly-dressed, brass-necked, performative, genocide-enabling hypocrite dishonouring the dead... #GuessWeForgot
Sir Keir Starmer carrying a huge wreath of poppies, dressed in an immaculate black suit and overcoat, feigning solemnity as he waits to perform one of the most hypocritical acts of his premiership. That knocking and grating sound you hear is the bones of all the war dead spinning in their graves.

A Venn Diagram for the UK Right-wing shows three concentric circles around the heading 'fascism' - the key shows the blue circle representing the Conservative Party, the red circle representing the Labour Party and the outer circle circle representing Reform essentially shoing complete crossover and no differences between them.

Nobody resigned over this...
A screenshot taken from a 2018 Newsnight segment in which Emily Maitlis interviews guests in front of a backdrop depicting Jeremy Corbyn as a Soviet-era, Russian double-agent, in Russian fur hat, with communist iconography and images from the Kremlin - that's right between two elections in which Jeremy Corbyn was leading a super popular opposition Labour Party on a manifesto promising systemic change for the many, rather than the few.

One rule for us, no rules for them...
A montage of stories showing how 'elites' can do what they like and face no consequences at all. Picture 1: features a story that the MET Police will not investigate (then) Prince Andrew for alleged rape of a minor. Picture 2: features a story in which president Trump pardons Rudi Giuliani following his conviction for a plot to overturn the 2020 election in the USA. Picture 3: features a story in which ex-French president Sarkozy is released from trial after three weeks despite his conviction for massive fraud.

Here's the BBC publishing without comment or context a map in which Gaza is reduced by half. Note the source...
www.bbc.com/news/article...
A map sourced from the Israel Defence Force depicting the Gaza Strip reduced by half as it shows the 'yellow line' by which Trump's so-called 'ceasefire' rewards Israeli genocide by transferring control from Palestinians to Israel. The area outside the line is even coloured yellow, similarly to the wider area marked 'Israel' to further suggest that large parts of Gaza are now effectively part of Israel.

The Labour Party website has a tab entitled: 'What we've delivered' linking to a whole section of blatant lies.

Labour is using semantics in order to claim policies have been delivered when they actually haven't. Example: the word 'eligible' is important here; the kids are still hungry. #LabourLies
A blurred background, possibly featuring a plate of school dinners, but it's hard to tell due to the blurring - this is incredibly apt, or devastatingly ironic, perhaps both. The text is disingenuous, reading: ' Labour 500,000 more children eligible for free school meals MISSION: Breaking down barriers to opportunity England We have extended eligibility for free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty and putting £500 back into parents' pockets every single year.'

How do 'centrists' think Labour's 'free breakfast clubs' are going in primary schools?

The tense used in the phrase 'Labour has delivered...', means this must be benefitting millions by now, right?

Fact is, even after all this time, only a few pilot schemes have even started yet... #LabourLies
A dishonest claim from Labour stating: BEST START IN LIFE ROLLING OUT FREE BREAKFAST CLUBS Labour has delivered on its manifesto promise to roll out free breakfast clubs - with two million meals already served to school children across England. The programme is boosting children's life chances and parents' work choices - helping kids start their day ready to learn, and saving parents an estimated £450 a year.'

Another completely dishonest Labour Party social media ad...

This one pretends to take aim at the people's ogre de jour (a toss up with Farage): water company bosses. You know, the ones Labour just gifted an extra £3 billion to squirt into the air in a final bingeing death throe of extravagance. 🧵
A screenshot of a Labour Party social media advert shows bold white text, all in capitals, on a weird background image of brown (shitty?) water bubbling away behind prison bars. The post reads: 'At the election, Labour promised to hold those who pollute our rivers, lakes and seas to account...' Then: 'As part of Labour's Plan for Change' on a red banner across the main image, followed by 'Polluting Water Bosses Face Up To Two Years In Prison' just below in block capitals.

This Labour Party social media ad is slightly different to the others. It still leads on lies and obfuscation, but it doesn't mood board on the post-mortem belly contents of someone who died from Haribo overdose.

See the rest of this short 🧵 for a dissection...
A peach-coloured sunset over the sea with wind turbines in the foreground, captioned: 'As part of Labour's Plan for Change, we are investing £300 million to jumpstart clean energy supply chains, create new jobs, and power up Britain using homegrown offshore wind.' The main banner headline reads: 'Labour Government launches major boost for UK clean energy industry.'

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself. He's coming for Zack. Personally.
A dishonest Labour Party social media advert (aren't they all) captioned 'Labour is delivering on making Britain a clean energy superpower...' with a picture of Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, clearly focusing heavily on his teeth, even though plausible deniability will be their defence when called out on this ("His teeth aren't our fault..." might be the line), because his teeth are the attack line de jour following an intervention by Right-wing TV pundit and professional sock-vomit Jeremy Clarkson last week. The advert also says: 'Their councillors block solar farms and clean energy infrastructure. Their leader is against nuclear energy. What's so Green about the Green Party?' The words 'block' & 'against' are highlighted in yellow, the word 'Green' is highlighted in green. All lettering is in shouty capitals. This line of attack shows three things: 1. Labour sees the reinvigorated Green Party, and so Zack Polanski personally, as a huge threat to their electoral chances because it campaigns from the Left; 2. The politics of personal attacks is fine by Starmer (as he has proven time and again, against Diane Abbot and Jeremy Corbyn for example); 3. The Labour Party is composed of lying, disingenuous little shits. My main post outlines just three of the inexcusably anti-environment policies Starmer has forced upon us which will set us back years, not to mention the insistence on a 'growth' economy on a finite planet in the throws of climate collapse. In the case of Heathrow expansion, Starmer overturned at a stroke a hard-fought ban on the 3rd runway which followed decades of campaigning. The advert's central point pushes nuclear energy as a clean option, when it is literally the worst option possible if you can see further than Starmer's endlessly growing nose. Sizewell was leaking toxic material within 15 years. See this thread (entitled 'Nuclear meltdown') for further details: https://bsky.app/profile/shakethescales.bsky.social/post/3lyvggmbdys2j

The media is completely refusing to run this story. I wonder why... Starmer should be utterly humiliated: the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans has been upheld.
A post in another place reading: Kevin Ovenden. Follow 57m. > X The police in Birmingham and other authorities have reviewed the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from next Thursday's game at Aston Villa, as demanded by Keir Starmer. They have reasserted the ban and cite intelligence from European police agencies about the violent racist behaviour of MTA at various games. Starmer, Nandy, Badenoch and the rest of them should apologise for slurring the people of Birmingham, the local MP Ayub Khan, many others and for cynically using this to demonise Muslim communities and pro-Palestinian sentiment. Of course the genocidal state of Israel and its sporting teams should be banned from international competition in any case. Protest goes ahead in Birmingham next Thursday.
