But if you get rid of Keir Starmer because of your disgust with Epstein, no one, ever, is going to satisfy your purity test.

It's possible they gave such an ultimatum.

He needs to listen much more to that side of the party and get advised accordingly.

Starmer has made a mistake but this is a right wing media campaign promoted by the far left to smear him and to remove him.

Keep your eyes on the bigger picture. The UK media does not eject PMs. Electorates do that.
Tory MPs too. Thatcher was the first they evicted, then May, then π€‘Johnson, then π€¦ββοΈTruss. Labour MPs donβt.
I'm 85 next month & I've seen them all from Churchill to Attlee to the present day. Trust me when I say that I know the real deal when I see it. They all had their flaws, but Starmer far less than the others. He has to be given time & space to do what needs doing, what needs fixing. He will do it.
07.02.2026 17:56 β π 75 π 19 π¬ 8 π 1One million percent accuracy. We hold those opposing the far right to far more account than we do for the likes of Farage and his ilk. Starmer is a terrible PM but there are actual helpful policies being implemented. Reform in power would be a national disaster.
07.02.2026 09:23 β π 8 π 3 π¬ 0 π 1This is simultaneously (1) garbage: Labour has done nothing remotely as bad as the Tories' industrial scale VIP corruption and (2) proof:
of Labour's failure to understand, let alone address, the industrial scale lie-telling machine that is our media.
I don't think Prime Minister Keir Starmer should lose his job. He's not in the Epstein files. He was unaware of Mandelson's emails which calls for questions about UK intelligence. What it does mean is that the files should be released in full & government can cleanse house.

He's actually starting to fix things.
And they hate that.
And no, I'm no Starmer fan, but fairness is my watchword so credit needs giving where credit is due.
And here it's due.
Please can someone show this one document to UK government and explain that no matter what awful bed shat legacy the Tories dumped, the Palantir smoking turd left on the carpet must be flushed from all they were allowed to smear themselves into. Peter Thiel is working against the UK, and democracy.
