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

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

All they’ve got to do is turn up in council chambers and maul Reform’s clueless chaos merchants with whoever else fancies doing that with them.

I live in an area where Reform are “in charge” of the local council and the Greens are keeping Cllr Finch in check. They have prevented the closure of two local youth centres which are also community centres and tried to remove him via a vote of no confidence. Sadly, it didn’t happen but there are people watching them closely.

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.

Rebel Nun's avatar

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

Vin LoPresti's avatar

Perish the thought!

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 — carried into power by a wave of antidemocratic malice, defamation, manipulation & subversion — 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.

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

Antony Marshall's avatar

Brilliant satire as ever. So bloody true though

Lenny Cavallaro's avatar

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!

Davey Dogs's avatar

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 ❤️🇵🇸

Poor Queer Starmer seems to be unsuitable for his position. It’s obviously time for our cousins across the pond to move on Without him. Wishing them better times🇺🇸❣️🇬🇧🙏

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

Methinks the Brits bastard off-shore off-spring should get off the colonial Bid-net Model and stay off any squeaeky bed springs in future...

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.

Michael Rawlins's avatar

I'm surprised Trump's bitch

didn't blame Biden,

ELLEN CRADICK's avatar

The Greens will need bot farms if they hope to counter literally billions of hostile-state generated, far right friendly memes landing onto the phones of politically illiterate UK. Daily, I watch formerly apolitical friends being Tommy Robinson radicalised in the comfort of their own phone, I mean home.

David Cameron's avatar

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

Spunty's avatar

Tories or Starmer. Who can tell the difference?

David Cameron's avatar

That’s the beauty of centrist politics. It appeals to the majority and not the fringes.

Rod Dawson's avatar

Is supporting Reform the same as supporting a racist genocide? The answer has to be 'not really'. This is the mistake the rabid antigoyite and 'proud zionist' Sir Kid 'The Shekels!' Starver and his purchasers seem to have made. Most Britons will, when they can, choose the lesser evil. Not all of them, obviously. That an overtly zionist party, openly working for a racist, genocidal, invasive, apartheid, war criminal, land thieving bunch of murderous supremacist colonising European thugs got any votes at all suggests antigoyism is a growing threat in Britain, and urgently needs to be stamped out. After all, without antigoyism, there could be no genocide. And, as a goy, I'd rather see genocide stamped out than goys.

"That’s called “authoritarianism”, or at least it used to be."

Hold the euphemisms...there is another term for it...

If you translate 'national socialism' into German it clarifies the process unfo£ding.

Socialism must be internationalist, or it degenerates into the example we see genocidally savaging occupied Palestine...and expanding into totalitarian Full SpeKKKtrum Dominance uber a££€$.

I$ra€£ also claimed to be building a socialist utopia at its outset....that lipstick is long gone from their flat-Earth tribal-seKKKtarian hi-tech barbarism.
