Someone who HAS called Keir Starmer a liar is Kemi Badenoch. Here she is on #c4news (4 mins in), saying it was not an accusation she made lightly.
Presumably, if it's shown that Starmer hasn't lied, she will resign in accordance with her principles.

For those believing results of May 7th will be the next call for Starmer to resign. Fact:
No of seats being contested: 6-8,000
Total council seats: 17,500
No PM has ever resigned for Council election results.

'never knowingly mislead the public'
keir starmer lies. that's what he does.
this was posted by @saulstaniforth.bsky.social on his twitter feed back in 2023.
starmer has only lied more, and more, and more since then.
he even promies self-id for trans ppl in here and we all know what he says now.
Enjoying the "Starmer can't step down now, there's too much going on" argument when Churchill was voted out whilst WW2 was ongoing in the Pacific. In the time British combat troops were in Afghanistan and Iraq the UK has had 5 PMs
I believe Starmer didn't know. I think he is that devoid of power and authority that no-one would have told him. Everyone knew he was not the man actually in charge, everyone knew he wasn't actually making the decisions. So why bother telling him?
Starmer lied to the public about Gorton & Denton and he's now lying to the public about his propensity to lie to the public.
Starmer to admit he inadvertently gave MPs misleading information on Mandelson Prime minister to tell Commons he was himself misled and would ‘never knowingly mislead parliament or the public’
Sir Keir also hit out at Reform’s candidate, Matthew Goodwin, saying he showed the party would bring a politics of “toxic division” to the contest. He said: “That’s not what that constituency is about, that’s not what Manchester is about. So this is a straight fight between Labour and Reform.”
Starmer: I would "never knowingly mislead... the public"
Well, that's demonstrably not true, is it?
Susanna Reid destroys Starmer's pathetic excuses around Mandelson
It will hardly surprise many in the electorate to learn that their PM is a liar - but Susanna Reid made the point brilliantly

Sue Gray became a darling of the media for investigating partygate, so Starmer made her his chief of staff just to get the press to coo like the morons they are, then silently expected this lady who worked in the civil service until just now to have an entire governing plan ready, which was his job.
As someone who garnered a reputation for competence simply by diligently replying to emails in a prompt fashion but actually did very little else, I'm actually feeling a bit sorry for starmer.
Meanwhile outside of Westminster bubble:
"Starmer is doing the best job that anybody could do, particularly internationally."
Starmer ignored his advisors and appointed Mandelson *before* he failed his security vetting — despite being aware of his dishonourable past and close connection to Epstein.
Starmer then lied to Parliament and has lied through his teeth ever since to try and save his skin.
Starmer MUST GO!
Which is why Starmer provided British soil to his Isreali handlers to bombs multiple countries, killing 10s of 1000s Muslims and hurting our wallets
This is what happens when a leader fails to listen, not only his MPs but the general public who've been vehemently against Isreal since October 2023
Starmer won't hear your jokes, but your friends with no ability to manage a team; an aversion to conflict; no guiding mission for power; no energy to drive change; little interest in people; and no interest in political strategy will
Because the reality is that there isn’t now, and there shouldn’t be, a civil service process that can stop the elected government making ill-advised or actively dangerous appointments. One reason why I am a longtime supporter of electoral reform is that I think “the government of the day has to get its appointees through at least one coalition partner” is a good and democratic brake on what the executive wants to do.
like this from @stephenkb.bsky.social. frustrating that the conversation has turned to who-saw-what-when, which distracts from Starmer's error of judgement
Dusting off the vuvuzelas, getting the cans in, we're all wearing our favourite "You mess with the bull, you get the Starmer" fan shirts
If you wanna have a laugh when Starmer is speaking imagine his inner dialogue like Mark from Peep Show
And despite the fraud perpetrated against the public now being too glaringly obvious and severe to ignore, all these withering critiques were still given under cover of anonymity, suggesting Starmer and his team are, at the very least, effective at one particular thing. Fun to ponder.
Apparently we're going to see 'angry Starmer' today.
It doesn't matter how angry he is, he's still going to be full of shit.
FT: Starmer *ignored advice* in Nov24 that any political appointee as US ambassador must undergo security vetting *before* being appointed, UKGovt documents reveal.
This revelation questions Starmer’s decision to announce Mandelson as USA ambassador in Dec24 *before* security vetting had occurred.
