In our house we were pleasantly stunned to wake up in, and be surrounded by, an all new Green enclave. ๐Ÿ˜

The Greens did quite well, but can they muster enough steam in the months ahead?

All theyโ€™ve got to do is turn up in council chambers and maul Reformโ€™s clueless chaos merchants with whoever else fancies doing that with them.

I empathize with all Britons at having to tolerate this fool. On the other hand, I often wish Trump would learn "to do absolutely nothing faster".

Lenny Cavallaro's avatar

Since everything Trump does is a disaster, perhaps he should simply do nothing whatsoever...

Vin LoPresti's avatar

Yeah. And as fast as possible.

There's really only one thing that the whole world wishes Trump would do faster...

Vin LoPresti's avatar

Perish the thought!

Brilliant satire as ever. So bloody true though

Keir has every reason to believe that democracy is his to dispense with. His leadership is the result of a malicious attack against democracy. The cabal that installed Keir treats the voting public as its main political opponent.

If Corbyn's ideals weren't becoming more popular with the public, there would never have been an organized defamation campaign against him. It wasn't about harming Corbyn; it was about dispossessing the public of the option to vote for anyone with Corbyn's ideals. Likewise, if Polanski's very similar ideals weren't becoming more popular with the public, those same people wouldn't be recycling that same defamation campaign. The intent is the same: To dispossess the public of an option that the public clearly wants.

An empty vessel like Starmer โ€” carried into power by a wave of antidemocratic malice, defamation, manipulation & subversion โ€” can't help but feel entitled to disregard democracy itself, let alone trifling details like the British people's rights.

Is it any wonder that he has made Public Decency a crime, and proscribed the concept of goodness?

The line was crossed years ago, and he was only ever rewarded for it. Are there no laws against subverting democracy? Are there no laws against foreign interference? Is Israel (and its lobby) not breaking British law, when it reaches into the UK to weaponize the accusation of "antisemitism" to rob the British public of its democratic options?

At the very least, it IS against British law for British politicians to conspire with Israel, and its representatives, to subvert the democratic will of the people. That has to be taken seriously. That has to be prosecuted.

I continue to worry that the true beneficiaries of Starmer's refusal to step down will be Reform and the Tories. We had that problem here when Biden refused to step down, and look what it got us!

You are absolutely the queen of satire, one of your best pieces. Thank you, Laura, such a satisfying snigger is good for the soul. x

You gotta feel sorry for the British, seems theyโ€™ve been misled constantly for quite some time now with little respite in sight.

I'm surprised Trump's bitch

didn't blame Biden,

Poor Queer Starmer seems to be unsuitable for his position. Itโ€™s obviously time for our cousins across the pond to move on Without him. Wishing them better times๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ™

Strange - when the Tories were in power the right wing press would have called it a protest vote - when Labour are in power itโ€™s the road for Starmer!

Rebel Nun's avatar

There is one person who wants Starmer to stay; unfortunately, that person is His Satanic Majesty himself, Netanyahu. The media is ganging up on Polanski. I'm not much comforted.

"Bizarrely, signalling to your base that you despise them has not proved a winning formula for Starmer..."

It hasn't worked well for Mr. Trump, either. Somehow, the MAGAts take exception to being talked down to, which is quite a feat in and of itself since Trump is so low to begin with...

Laura you bring light, truth and hope into an otherwise dark world. Satire is such a powerful tool to expose hypocrisy and evil. love ya โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
