Why Is Keir Starmer So Hated?

Interesting discussion this; examining exactly why the outgoing British PM, Keir Starmer, is so hated. Who thought promoting him into the highest office in the land was a good idea? Consider, when the question was put to him, Davos or London, he chose Davos.

Reinventing Starmer

Watch how the Labour luvvies now try to frame Keir Starmer as competent. For some odd reason, throughout his rise and reign, Starmer was given a free pass. 

Keir Starmer Resigns

Yes, it is happening, finally, the world's worst prime minister ever is calling it quits. Worse than Justin Trudeau, worse than Anthony Albanese, and worse even than Jacinda Ardern. Good riddance.

Belfast Attack

The UK has no idea who they've let in the country. Open borders have never worked; close the border now.

Brexit Being Undone?

Keir Starmer is the most unpopular prime minister in British history. The question I have: was he appointed to undo Brexit?

Maurice Glasman on Labour UK

Maurice Glasman is the founder of Blue Labour in the UK. He's generally right about most things, and here he explains what Labour UK need to do to turn things around. It's a hard task, but if they fail, they face extinction. That's because both Reform and the Greens are eating their lunch. 

UK Greens Crush Labour

Left-wing activist, Owen Jones, covers the extent of the Greens victory in the local elections just held in the UK. 

Owen Jones is accurate but maybe he doesn't quite understand the full extent of what happened. Labour finds itself isolated, with nowhere to call home. They've been attacked from two ends. Take voters in the North, many of whom ordinarily vote Labour. They voted Reform en masse. Then down South, the trendy champagne socialists who compost their kitchen waste and protest against Israel on the weekends, voted Greens. The breadth of the defeat is what is transformational. The new parties, no doubt, will have their struggles, but they now have a platform from which to grow. 

Reform UK and Greens Tsunami

A tidal wave has swept over the UK, with Reform and the Greens being the big winners. Reform gained control of 14 councils and had more than 1,400 councillors elected. The Greens now control five councils and they won two mayoral races. Both, prior to this election, were practically nowhere. Now, they'll both be part of the news cycle at the national and local level. 

I hope this kind of change will lead to something positive, such as rebuilding and replacing what is a broken country. The roads are rubbish, everything is falling apart, get on and reinstate services, get the job done. Then, when Labour are swept from office at the national level, get on and take control of the whole country. 

This sort of change is what is required Downunder in Australia and New Zealand. Both countries are mired in old thinking, with the right and left of both countries beholden to corporate interests. Hopefully, people will see what's happening in the UK and react. There are firm links with 'back home' and this message can get through.

Trump to Hand Falklands to Milei?

Upset that the United Kingdom has not joined the US war with Iran, it is being reported that Donald Trump may withdraw his support for the UK holding the Falkland Islands, effectively handing the islands to Argentina. Readers may remember that back in the early 1980's, Argentina invaded the Falklands and the UK went to war over it, and won the islands back. 

A bit of history; the Falklands are part of Britain, and Argentina has no rightful claim over the islands. The islands have also played a pivotal role in the Royal Navy's control of the South Atlantic. The British Empire, at one point, controlled all of the main pinch points, the North and South Atlantic, the Mediterranean via Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus, the Strait of Malacca at Singapore, Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden and access to the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, Strait of Hormuz, Cape of Good Hope, and the Tasman Sea through to the Southern Ocean. There was nowhere for an enemy to go, literally nowhere. 

So, the British have some serious soul searching to do. Are they going to grow a spine or shrink to nothingness?

The Mandelson Affair

The British government has hit rock bottom. How long can Prime Minister Keir Starmer remain in office?

The deepening scandal prompted an apology on Wednesday from Sir Keir to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein for believing Lord Mandelson's "lies" and appointing him when the peer's friendship with the paedophile was already public knowledge.

Despite the prime minister's attempt to defuse the row, some of his own MPs are calling on him to stand down.

Walls Closing In

The former prince, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, may yet have to answer questions put to him by the US over what he knows about Jeffrey Epstein and his victims. The latest batch of Epstein Files, available to anyone online, are truly horrifying.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jan/31/keir-starmer-andrew-mountbatten-windsor-testify-us-jeffrey-epstein-links

Keir Starmer has said Andrew Mounbatten-Windsor should testify before the US Congress about his links to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The prime minister, who is in Japan for a meeting with its premier, Sanae Takaichi, was asked by journalists if the former prince should apologise to the disgraced financier’s victims and give evidence about what he knew about his crimes.

Mounbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last year amid the fallout from his friendship with the billionaire, features heavily in the latest tranche of Epstein files, released on Friday by the US justice department.

Laughing Stock UK

The UK is now a laughing stock - convince me I'm wrong.

Rolls-Royce May Pack Up and Leave the UK

This would be a blow to the United Kingdom; Rolls-Royce is looking to move at least part of their production overseas. Taxes and compliance costs must be prohibitive.

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-15386153/Rolls-Royce-jet-engine-snub-Labour-Engineering-giant-threatens-1-6-trillion-project-US-Germany.html

Rolls-Royce could build a new range of jet engines in Germany or the US instead of Britain, in what would be a major blow to Labour’s faltering growth hopes.

The FTSE 100 aerospace giant is being actively courted by politicians in Berlin and Washington over a programme that will create 40,000 jobs across the company and supply chain.

It comes as surging energy costs – blamed on Ed Miliband’s Net Zero drive – are making it harder to make money from manufacturing in Britain.

Major Political Shift UK

How long can UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, hang on? The Greens have now passed the UK Labour Party, and the Conservatives have risen to second behind Reform UK. The Government, Labour, are now in fourth place.

UK Recognises Palestine - Here's the Bill

Palestine say to UK: thank you for recognising us; that will cost you two trillion pounds. This compensates them for the illegal occupation and subjugation of their territory, and now selling arms to their oppressors. 

Sounds fair, and while looking at this, Australia are recognising Palestine too. So, under international law and seeing as Australia has been oppressing them too, Australia needs to take in all those Gazan refugees. How about South Australia? Even Australians laugh at South Australia, so this should find wide acceptance. What has South Australia got that would not be improved by hundreds of thousands of Gazans?

Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney

This should bring down UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

Reform UK Hit Record High

The latest poll results in the UK show Reform UK with an 18-point lead over Labour. The government has now slid to second equal with the opposition Conservative Party. 

How much time does Prime Minister Keir Starmer have left?

Keir Starmer and Donald Trump

The US President, Donald Trump and the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer have held a press conference together.

Question: have you ever seen a British prime minister weaker than Keir Starmer? I don't even want to use his knighthood; properly, he's Sir Keir Starmer, but he's done nothing to earn it. The British Empire is now but a husk of its former self; it now has these limp wrists leading it. 

Mass Fatality Resilience Capability

I wonder why the UK government is buying mass fatality resilience capability, aka transportable morgues?

Does the UK government have something planned?

Brexit Benefits UK vs EU Bad Deal

Broadly speaking, the UK had imposed on them a tariff rate of 10%, while the EU gets 15%. 

The weakness of the EU structure has been fully exposed. There was the unelected Ursula von der Leyen shaking hands with Donald Trump and taking whatever deal was being imposed on the EU, and every country within that bloc gets no say.

Meanwhile the UK, now being outside the tent, gets a better deal.

UK prime minister, Keir Starmer met Donald Trump in Scotland and sat there like a Cheshire cat smiling. OK, I'm getting a bit carried away but Starmer did then look uncomfortable when Trump mentioned he got men out of women's sports, and then he started to squirm again when Trump called the mayor of London a nasty person. Trump again put Starmer on the spot over death taxes, pointing out he'd scrapped them, thus rescuing family farms from the banks. Starmer is a fail on every one of these points, and sits opposite Trump on the issue, but he just sat there, no doubt thinking 10%, 10%, 10%.

Starmer is so weak, and Von der Leyen weaker. But I'd like to know what went on behind the scenes between the US and the EU. One day, the EU is talking tough, then the next day they've rolled over. This was the fastest climb down seen this century - no joke.
