I am absolutely deadly serious when I say that assuming all other parties do stand down, Count Binface could and will beat Farage in a straight contest.

To give you an idea of how British politics has degraded into deranged radical-right lunacy, just consider what the public reaction would have been had a politician in the 60s or 70s proposed the following:

Where did it all go wrong? - asks the BBC, and takes us on a 5 minute tour of Starmer's downfall that never once mentions Gaza. For millions of people in the UK it just feels as if the mainstream media lives on a different planet.

Insulting, attacking and alienating your base until they were left with no choice but to leave and begin organising outside the party is why your position is untenable after less than 2 years. And still, you can’t resist smearing people who worked all their lives for Labour.

Starmer claiming he inherited a Labour Party that was ‘politically, financially and morally bankrupt’ in his resignation speech is a perfect snapshot of his tenure. He used the party to settle factional scores, rather than delivering the transformative change people voted for.

Starmer’s pledges when he stood to be Labour leader: 'No more illegal wars' 'Defend migrants’ rights' 'Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners' 'Common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water' 'Abolish the House of Lords' ... Cynical lies, abandoned as soon as he won.

Starmer blocked a heavily pregnant Faiza Shaheen from standing for parliament - after she was democratically selected - for entirely bullshit, factional reasons. But he nearly cried after resigning so a woman’s magazine says he’s a great feminist hero 💩

Does anyone have a link to one of the compilations of all the lies that Keir Starmer told when he was running for Labour leader? His pledges to back nationalisation. His promises to continue the policies of Labour under Corbyn. His statement "Jeremy Corbyn is a friend of mine"?

@meadwaj It genuinely annoys them that they can't admit the really obvious truth: winning an election on a weaker mandate than the predecessor you've framed as worthless, solely because your opposition collapsed, is not a win to feel as confident about as they so clearly did.

Keir Starmer's premiership was a catastrophe engineered by the Labour right. They got everything they wanted - a candidate without politics of his own, control of selections and internal processes, a monopoly on his advisers - and they fucked it into the sun.

Keir Starmer lied through his teeth to become Labour leader. He justified Israeli war crimes, arrested opponents of genocide, attacked pensioners, disabled people and migrants, pocketed freebies, crushed dissent and threw others under the bus to save himself. History damns him

He and his supporters (who have never had a problem with winning undemocratically!) will say "Who cares?" But ultimately this lack of popular support will come back to haunt Starmer and Labour in office. The danger is that the far right will then benefit, as in France. (2/2)

My prediction: The Tories will be wiped out on Thursday. Labour will win by a landslide - but with fewer votes than Corbyn got in 2017. If that happens, Starmer will have persuaded fewer people to vote for him. He will simply have played the undemocratic FPTP system better. (1/2)
