The only people who hate Starmer more than us are his own MPs โ he must go today | Politics | News

All too much? Keir Starmer in St Leonards on Sea today (Image: Getty)
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has to go. Now. Right now. Today. His continued tenure at the helm of UK Plc is doing great, great harm to our nation. If he has a shred of honour left, which is doubtful, he knows what needs to be done. Every single call the man has made since taking office has been the wrong one. And every time he gets it wrong Britain becomes a weaker, more bewildered, more divided place.
The current Mandelson scandal – I say โcurrentโ because of course there have been so many Mandelson scandals over the years – cannot but have left every voter sickened and bloody furious. And while Starmerโs cronies fret over political optics and how best to protect the Labour Party and the PM all the rest of us can think is โฆ those poor girls. And those evil bastard men.
There has been much debate on whether the security services should have been involved in examining and vetting Mandelson before he became Britainโs representative in the United States.
You really donโt need to have MI6 scrutinise Peter Benjamin Mandelson to know heโs a wrong โun.
The Geoffrey Robinson loan scandal, the Hinduja brothers/Millennium Dome scandal, and that other scandal related to his incomprehensible appointment as EU trade commissioner, whereupon, dazzled by riches as ever, this time in the form of Italian shoe tycoons and Russian aluminium oligarchs.
And of course his close friendship with the worldโs most notorious, sleazy, evil paedophile Jeffrey Epstein: a man of whom Mandelson wrote: โI think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened.โ
We now hear allegations Mandelson was on the Kremlinโs books. God help him if there is even a shred of truth in those allegations.
How could Starmer not see all this?
At risk of repeating myself, Starmer has to go now.
A fellow political commentator today suggested Feb 4 might be the start of Starmerโs downfall. NO!! Heโs had his period of limping on in the face of the inevitable already – now itโs time to go.
More than six months ago a particularly excellent and incisive columnist wrote: โThe Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland stood by a man who stood by a piece of slime who procured little girls for sex. The Prime Minister of your country backed a convicted paedophileโs pal. Trusted his judgement.
โStarmerโs days are numbered. The countdown has begun.โ
Alright, I admit, it was me. But the point is even a blind man, or indeed columnist, could see Starmerโs wasnโt just a shockingly poor Prime Minister he was actively acting against the interests of the people of this country.
For Godโs sakes, Angela Rayner is now the voice of the Labour moral high ground – that is how mired in the gutter this party is.
In the six months since I wrote Starmer was a danger to Britain he has:
Continued the insane plan to give the British territory that is the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, in a fabulously conceited piece of neo-colonialism.
Continued to ensure the collapse and closure of thousands of great British pubs;
Scrapped planned free schools and curtailled academy freedoms;
Refused a full inquiry into rape gangs – then U-turned;
Cancelled mayoral elections for thousands of voters because, well, because they were going to lose;
Removed the two-child benefit cap at a cost of ยฃ3bn to the rest of us;
They have U-turned on ID cards, farming taxes, and on, and on.
Itโs time to say goodbye Keir.
It is darkly funny that the only people who hate Keir Starmer more than the British electorate appear to be his own MPs.
โWe need a head,โ said one, โsomeone has to pay the price for this failure.โ
And apparently Keir thinks Morgan McSweeney might have to go.
Who cares! Normal people neither know nor care who McSweeney is.
Trust me, it is not his head they want.
Show us you have one last shred of decency, of dignity, of self-respect Starmer, and for the good of the country step down.
