Michael Crick • @MichaelLCrick X.com In two to three years time, when Starmer and his government are no doubt deeply unpopular, I hope we in the media will ask ourselves: "Why were we so supine during the long 2024 election; why didn't we hold Labour properly to account while we could, and ask more probing questions, and explore their records, rather than give them such an easy ride?"

I think we can see the reason for this is the same as any number of abysmal scandals at all kinds of major British institutions: Nobody wants to go lifting rocks because of the very high risk that moving one of them will send a geyser of scalding hot corruption leaping two hundred feet into the air.

You cannot build resilience on a system that leaves people unable to afford even three days of food, while relying on fragile, centralised supply chains.

The Green Party believes resilience means a healthy society. It’s time to build one that works for everyone.

#Resilience #GreenPolitics

History shows that when we change our perspective, we change our hearts and our policy. It's time to see the big picture again.

An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.

'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'

You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Netanyahu: "Iran planned another Holocaust. It plotted to destroy us with nuclear bombs."

Iran has no nuclear bombs. Israel has 200+.

The only "another Holocaust" happening is in Gaza, with Israeli bombs.

Yes, that is the correct answer - anyone who WOULD taser a human being and then deport them, is clearly unfit to hold any position of power, never mind an office of state @zackpolanski.bsky.social

My own answer to this pretty odd question would be that I wouldn’t choose to taser anyone.

Who would? And framing this around political opponents is really problematic.

“We need a period of keeping a Prime Minister for a period of time to let him do the job he was elected to do” Work & Pensions secretary Pat McFadden tells Sky’s Sophy Ridge

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

This grubby, morally bankrupt clique must be driven from British politics.

"This is an important thing to think about."

The last of the Starmer fans will eventually have to come to terms with the fact their guy is hated. It’s not just the media having a pop at him, he is a very very bad PM, who has lied through his whole tenure, while aiding and abetting a Genocide and an illegal war while pretending not to.

Lord Mandelson is gone. The trouble is that his allies, acolytes, confederates, proteges and bag carriers still dominate the Labour Party.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Yesterday I was suspended from the Commons and escorted off the parliamentary estate for calling the Prime Minister a barefaced liar.

I would do it again.

Every person in this country knows that Keir Starmer is exactly that.

I will always speak truth to power.

It seems that the requirement is donations form private health and big tech.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson

Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting

Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

Speaking on Sky this AM about Mandelson, energy sec Ed Miliband says:

"Prime ministers make errors. Prime ministers are fallible. Prime ministers are human. As you know, I steered well clear of Peter Mandelson when I became Labour leader in 2010. But people make mistakes."

Keir Starmer announced Mandelsons appointment on the 20th December 2024

Olly Robbins took up his job at the foreign office on the 8th January 2025

But Starmer wants us all to believe it was Robbins fault

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Robbins says that when he arrived in post, a due diligence report had been undertaken by the Cabinet Office, and the PM had announced the appointment - and [Mandelson] was already being given higher classification briefings

Robbins says there was generally dismissive attitude towards his clearance.

From time Robbins arrived, "Under constant pressure ... an atmosphere of constant chasing from private office [No.10] to private office [FCDO]" to deliver vetting clearance

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.

Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.

So every year prices go up more than wages.

It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.

It's billionaires

Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar and if he had any decency, he would resign.

Wow! 😮

Reform’s Richard Tice posts picture with telltale signs of AI manipulation, say experts Deputy leader’s image on X was almost certainly generated or altered using AI, according to Peryton Intelligence

"Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party, said: “There’s nothing real about the Reform party. Their supposed policies to tackle cost of living are fake, they spin stories that are fake and now we know even their campaigners are fake.”

Zarah Sultana has just been kicked out of the commons for calling Starmer a barefaced liar.

Zarah is spot on. Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar. We all know it.

And as for Lindsay Hoyle. I'm old enough to remember what a corrupt speaker he is.
