It’s Keir Starmer hypocrisy time! Send in your own favourite clips!
Here’s another hypocrite moment: Starmer took the knee for Black Lives Matter but to him it meant nothing more than a photo opportunity. He attacked the organisation shortly after as a “moment”.
Seriously, send links. I know there are a lot of them out there!
For now, let’s have a look at this moment on Good Morning Britain when Keir Starmer was asked if Diane Abbott would be suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party indefinitely, as Jeremy Corbyn was, if she is found to have been anti-Semitic – for “consistency”. Of course, Jeremy Corbyn has not been found to have been anti-Semitic, so it wouldn’t be consistent with anything.
In the same clip, Starmer refers to an “independent” disciplinary process. But he personally wrote the motion to exclude Jeremy Corbyn from being a candidate in general elections, and he has admitted that he personally intervened to have Diane Abbott suspended. So there’s no independence about the process at all:
Despite what Adil implies, the motion to prevent Corbyn from being a Labour candidate didn't mention antisemitism once. As for Starmer boasting about an independent process, he was the one who wrote the motion. And as for consistency, there isn't any. pic.twitter.com/nl28TH4PXs

Also unearthed on April 27:
Three years ago Starmer stood on a picket line and said it was important for other politicians to do the same.
Now he says he doesnt want any Labour MPs on picket lines & doesn't think the role of politicians is to go on them. pic.twitter.com/4AFHUGl06P

Also:
Keir Starmer has just come out AGAINST Proportional Representation.
According to his spokesperson, Starmer’s opposition to PR is a “longstanding view”.
However, just 3 years ago he was in favour of PR and against the current First Past the Post system.
The man’s a total fraud. pic.twitter.com/5jgU88UWMD

Starmer now saying he has long held criticisms of PR!
Is there a single thing this guy was honest about in 2020? And why should the electorate trust him when he's lied about so much?
These are hugely important questions. https://t.co/HYudxFrz9g

So he wanted proportional representation to be brought in as a new electoral system a few years ago but, now that Labour might be able to win a big victory in a general election, he reckons the First Past The Post, largest-minority-vote takes-the-seat system is okay.
Please send links to more evidence of hypocrisy if you have it. Let’s keep this going!

Why is Starmer still in the labour party? Why has there not been a no confidence vote against him and his whole front bench? He and the rest of his bought and paid for, fake labour, tory cronies have heaped deep Shame and disgrace on the labour movement as a whole!
