Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting: they should rename their party ‘No Labour’.
Keir Starmer and his shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting provided ample examples of reasons not to vote for their Labour Party during the Sunday morning media round today (January 14, 2024).
I doubt I even have to provide much commentary on the following. It speaks for itself.

Here’s Starmer on why he supported attacking one of the world’s poorest countries:
Here’s a response that puts his words in context:
Starmer’s support for the attack represents a massive u-turn in his own personal commitments – as Laura Kuenssberg pointed out to him. His response was beyond parody:
So, in Keir Starmer’s world, air strikes are not military operations. This may explain why he has not condemned Israel’s carpet-bombing of Gaza that has killed so many thousands of men, women and children.
Here’s Starmer on why his use of a private, highly-polluting plane is perfectly reasonable and Rishi Sunak doing exactly the same is outrageous:
So he’s happy to pollute, even when there are scheduled flights, and even when a telephone conversation would probably be perfectly appropriate. Now we know.
Green Party deputy leader Zack Polanski made the facts clear for us all:
Closer to home, Starmer showed that he fully supports the Tory government’s persecution of refugees and asylum-seekers:
Streeting supported Starmer – and the Tories – when he was interviewed by Trevor Phillips:
Streeting also defended Starmer’s u-turn on having Parliamentary votes before military action:
Streeting is a member of Labour Friends of Israel. Here he is, explaining why he doesn’t want to pay attention to the genocide hearings at the International Court of Justice (notice his about-turn on calls for an Israel/Gaza ceasefire):
Meanwhile, Starmer’s party is losing the support of its own elected representatives because of its determination to stand with genocidal Israel:
And the wider public?
All of this is a huge bonus to the smaller political parties and independents – or would be, if they were allowed to have a voice in the mass media. Apparently they aren’t:
It goes for Independents, too. How many people in Kensington and Bayswater know about this?
Why not?
Perhaps it’s time to give a platform to people who have something to say.
