The Life of Keir: What has Labour ever done for us?

Loved a joyous, uplifting Kinky Boots musical at the magnificent Sunderland Empire but those Northampton workers in the Price & Son factory really need to join a trade union.
Fighting, bullying, discrimination and sacking threats broke so many laws.
No more peppercorns for palaces.
We discussed the royal family's wealthfare state in this week's Pierce vs Maguire podcast.
Slimeball Andrew Windsor's opened Pandora's box.

Even some peers opposed to assisted dying now believe it would be undemocratic for diehard opponents in an unelected House of Lords to use 1,000+ amendments to kill a right backed by the elected House of Commons

Will Reform and the Turquoise Tory Party do a cynical electoral deal?
On this weekβs β¦βͺPierce vs Maguireβ¬β© podcast.
βThe picture they are painting is completely wrong. Untrue. They are peddling lies.β
Magisterial dismantling by Gordon Brown of βBenefits Streetβ bollocks from Badenoch and Britainβs reactionary Right-whiners after 500k kids were lifted out of poverty.

Must be rough in the local little Sainsburyβs when thereβs a security tag on a bag of Revels.
Not even the biggest packet anarl.
Starmer welcomes the feudal City of Londonβs first Lady Mayor after 696 men and the Church of Englandβs first female Archbishop of Canterbury after 105 blokes but overlooks that Labourβs only elected male leaders in the partyβs 125 years when even the Cons are on a fourth woman.

Magnificent Versailles(10m visitors) is a much bigger attraction than Windsor Castle(1.5m) or Buckingham Palace(0.5m), proving you donβt need a royal family to attract tourists.
And the extensive grounds are free.
France showed the way forward for Britain
Wonder why Conservative former MPs on defection watch are most upset about their party chair's Nazi badge dig at Reform UK.

And most Britons wrongly believe it's going up.
We live in an age of ignorant rage.

Rachel Reeves transformed herself from Scrooge to Mother Christmas in lifting 550,000 working class kids out of poverty.

The monster Brexit black hole at the heart of Britain.
Farage, Johnson and Badenoch should chip in to fill it when they helped dig the thing.

Not so much a plastic patriot as a Putin traitor puppet.
Funny how Reform's top brass now pretend they never knew their colleague and friend.

Who is Farage attracting?
Reform councillor Barry Elliott's property firms owe customers Β£140,000.
He owed Northumberland unpaid council tax and business rates.
"I feel disgusted that somebody like that can represent the people of Blyth."

Whip to resign to be a stalking horse? Streeting eyeing a seat swap?
Mahmood is certainly hammering refugees.
The Labour rumour mill is in overdrive with the battle to replace Starmer now underway.

More PMQs fight in Starmer this week, battling back against Badenoch and highlighting Labour successes.
Might be too late for him, mind.
Not so nice Nigel

You are less likely to be a vicitm of violent crime in London than in the rest of England and Wales - Sadiq Khan.
Lawless London garbage of the British and US reactionary Hard and Far Right is another con job.
Starmer is his own worst enemy and why all patriotic Britons will back the BBC against US destroyer Trump.

Well done No 10.
Another Downing Street own goal when a fool or fools briefed Starmer would fight a leadership challenge, thereby confirming heβs under threat and turbo-charging Labour potential regime change fever.
The PMβs worst enemies are people heβs employing in No 10!
