Starmer’s Lies are ALREADY dominating Labour’s Election campaign!

Right, so if anything is going to come to define Labour’s campaign for this General Election, Victoria Derbyshire’s interview with Starmerroid Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds demonstrated exactly what that was, and the big thing the media now clearly as well as other parties will fixate on is Starmer’s non-existent relationship with the truth. Starmer has such a massive litany of lies to his name now, that every one of them, as many of us on the left knew they would eventually, are going to catch up with him and be used against him and pointed out that if he has lied so often about so much ,that he is inherently so dishonest, how can you believe anything he promises now in his bid to win power? And as Reynolds showed and Victoria Derbyshire exposed, Labour cannot answer this.
Right, so that was Victoria Derbyshire, one of very few current affairs presenters on the BBC worth rating, hold Jonathan Reynolds feet to the fire over Keir Starmer’s record of lies since he became Labour leader and Reynolds tried all the politicians tricks to deflect and talk about something else, but she was having absolutely none of it, who did Reynolds think she was? Laura Kuenssberg? And she had the file, she didn’t have to dig that deep I wouldn’t imagine to expose just how much Starmer has lied about.
Reynolds was asked why should people trust Keir Starmer when he has rolled back on so many things and he couldn’t answer it. He tried to talk about Starmer turning around the Labour Party, when what he has done is turn it into another Tory Party and denied change, and choice to the entire country by aping the Tories. Starmer calls himself the change candidate now, but it’s a sick joke, because he is absolutely more of the same. Reynolds also tried to claim that Starmer hasn’t gone back on his word and when pushed claims the damage to the economy has forced their hands. As ever this is an economic lie itself, there is always money and there would be plenty available for the government to access if they increased taxes by levying a wealth tax, but they won’t do that, because they are Tories and when they won’t touch their money but will keep hammering up, we know who they really intend to serve and if you’re still in denial about that, keep asking that question of why they won’t instigate a wealth tax to put the country back on it’s feet.
Derbyshire put Reynolds through the ringer reeling off all manner of broken pledges and promises and of course some of these go back years, before the Truss budget which remains their convenient scapegoat and includes stuff that as Derbyshire also pointed out, wouldn’t cost anything to implement anyway, so why go back on them?
Scrapping the House of Lords is one classic example of that. Get rid of it and instigate an elected senate instead, an elected upper chamber, saving us money and ditching this preposterous concept of life peers and hereditary peers, which is completely undemocratic. Starmer promised it, then binned it. No excuse for that.
The list of things Starmer once promised and has gone back on is sizeable though and it will be a ball and chain to hammer Starmer with over and over throughout this campaign.
He promised a 5% tax on high earners but he now won’t do it, he promised to abolish universal credit and replace it with a system that actually works and treats people like human beings, that’s out too, now he’s keeping it. He was going to end benefit sanctions, that’s gone.
He pledged to defend the NHS, now he wants more privatisation involved in it, having once upon a time cited his own mother, a nurse, as his reason for shunning private health and backing the NHS. Amazing what tens of thousands of pounds in private health donations can do to change someone’s mind and go back on their word over. He also promised to roll back outsourcing, but given that word has been cover for privatisation, and he wants more private sector involvement, that’s out too.
He was going to abolish tuition fees, but just like Nick Clegg’s Lib Dems, he’s gone back on that too.
He had a £28bn flagship Green New Deal on the table for years and that got scrapped too, the environment clearly secondary, not least underlined recently by Labour voting against a Lib Dem motion to clean up our polluted waterways. Starmer is also on record as allegedly having said he hates tree huggers when presented with a green energy deal plan by Ed Miliband.
He plans for GB Energy to be created a nationalised energy generator and distributor, but it won’t be a supplier to us, it’ll supply the same privatised energy companies we have now, so they’ll get the benefits of a socialised energy distributor, to maximise their profits, because the savings will not trickle down to us. They never do. He also won’t reverse Sunak’s new oil and gas licences, despite promising no more of them.
He promised no more illegal wars, yet is happy to play dress up in fatigues and support Israel committing genocide in Gaza, possibly the single most poignant issue causing Labour damage to it’s vote and having declared himself long ago a Zionist without equivocation, will never deviate from that support.
He promised to renationalise Royal Mail, rail energy and water, he’s still just about clinging onto rail, the rest clearly too Corbyn like to go down the same road of.
He promised to defend freedom of movement, now he wants to stop the boats too with a new Border Security Command, instead of doing the humane thing of opening up safe routes to asylum so nobody needs boats anymore.
He promised to strengthen workers rights and trade union, repealing the anti trade union laws we’ve seen introduced over the last several decades, but that has been watered down too, to just those most recently introduced and again, you’ve only got his word for that and by now if you aren’t questioning the value of his word then there is probably little hope that you ever will.
He promised to scrap the charitable status of private schools, that is out now as well, despite these schools blatantly not being charities and very much for the elite, now instead choosing to impose VAT on them instead.
He promised to scrap the cruel poverty inflicting two-child benefit cap, but will now keep it instead, choosing to intentionally leave nearly a quarter of a million kids in poverty, for no good reason than Rachel Reeves’ fiscal rules won’t allow for that money to be spent on this. I thing we need a better party, with better fiscal rules then, because this is a choice, those rules are arbitrary, this is just callous cruelty against people too young to vote.
He promised to devolve powers from Westminster, but he can’t even let his own local parties choose their own candidates, interfering at every level, but especially at parliamentary level. Possibly his biggest ever lie though was to provide opposition to the Tories, when in actuality, he’s taken Labour and become them instead.
And above all else, just like Jonathan Reynolds there, he will deny it all until he’s blue in the face, will not take responsibility, will not acknowledge mistakes, will point at others, because when things go wrong, it is never his fault.
There will never be any answers for any of this, from Keir Starmer or anyone campaigning for Labour or for election as a Labour MP, because any attempt to cover up or dismiss or dispute the lies he’s told, will be lies themselves. Labour is utterly reliant on being the get the Tories out vote, because they stand for nothing and will stand for nothing in effect throughout this campaign, since nothing they say, nothing that will be written in their manifesto can be believed because of how big a liar leads the party. This will I hope be brought up again and again and again and to Starmer’s face at that, because he’s been given an easy ride for too long and now he needs to face a reckoning for it.
Meanwhile as the Labour selection contest continues in Islington North to replace Jeremy Corbyn, Corbyn himself faces expulsion, for, when you drill down into it as I have in this video recommendation here, the crime of being a socialist! Have a watch, stay with the channel some more and I’ll hopefully catch you on the next vid. Cheers folks.
