Their efforts to control the narrative are getting desperate
The Westminster establishment cabal and the corporate media are desperately trying to control the narrative, but their claims that Keir Starmer is a "decent man" are reality-reversed nonsense
The Starmtrooper propaganda narrative that Keir Starmer is "forensic" has been killed stone dead by the Mandelson-Epstein scandal.
Starmer appointed Peter Mandelson, a proven associate of a convicted child sex abuser, based on assurance that it wasn't really a problem, from Peter Mandelson.
Starmer’s own explanation of events is that he was incredibly gullible, which is about as far from a meticulous and forensic examination of the situation as it's possible to imagine.
The new Starmtrooper narrative is that Starmer is a "decent man" and it's being pushed incredibly hard, not just by Starmer's lackeys, but by the Westminster establishment order, and the corporate media hack pack too.
Piers Morgan: "a good man, a decent man"
Jo Stevens (Labour Welsh Secretary): "a good, decent man"
Anas Sarwar (Scottish Labour leader): "a decent man"
Ed Davey (Lib-Dem leader): "He is a decent man"
Dan Hodges (Daily Mail): "I still believe he's a decent man"
Andrew Marr (LBC): "A fundamentally decent man"
Independent editorial: "A decent man"
Patrick Maguire (Times): "A perfectly decent man who means well"
Polly Toynbee (Guardian): "A decent PM brought down by Mandelson's sleaze"
It's absolutely clear that there's an ongoing effort to control the narrative here, but let's look at these claims of Starmer's decency.
Keir Starmer hasn't just provided military, diplomatic, and logistical support to Israel's genocide in Gaza, he's flagrantly misused terrorism legislation in an attempt to silence non-violent protest against the genocide and his government's complicity in it.
Starmer brazenly lied his way into the Labour leadership in 2020 by promising a left-wing and socially liberal policy agenda, then gleefully ripped up his notorious "Ten Pledges" as soon as he got his hands on power.
Starmer has conducted a vicious factional war within the Labour ranks to install his own lackeys at every level of the party, and purge anyone who dared object. This went as far as rigging the Labour leadership nominations process to exclude women, people of colour, and genuine socialists from succeeding him as party leader.
Perhaps any of these figures would care to explain what's so "decent" about mugging pensioners, economically sanctioning disabled people, and needlessly keeping the poverty-spreading Tory two-child policy in place for so long?
And where's the decency in using his position as Prime Minister to rake in obscene amounts of freebies and handouts from mega-rich donors? (more than every Labour leader combined, going all the way back to Tony Blair).
The man is a moral vacuum; a liar; a factional bully; a greedy political pig; and above all, a genocide enabler.
It doesn't matter how many Westminster establishment stooges or corporate media talking heads try to convince you the opposite, the narrative they're hawking is absolute reality-reversed piffle, just like the prior (stone dead) narrative that he was so meticulous and forensic.
Those of us who joined the Labour Party inspired by Corbyn [a truly decent man] and saw what happened after his defenestration will know exactly what kind of man Starmer is. A liar, a total ignoramus with no feel for politics and no ideas of his own, who did not hesitate to throw excellent party workers and MPs sure of re-election under the bus to promote his toadies. And to watch him grovelling and fawning to Trump was sickening.
“moral vacuum” is a brilliant description. He strikes me as a man who has no empathy, as if there is a blank space where that human quality is contained.
