Coward, Coward, Coward ...

'International Law does not apply if by using it it puts you or your citizens in mortal danger' Starmer. Hermer are the only two people quoting international law in a battle for the very soul or survival of the World which we know !

As for Polansky and his 'side kick' if as reported they had a minutes silence for the Iranian Regime today they need to be immediately arrested and charged with 'conduct' against the interests of the State of the United Kingdom.

I am absolutely horrified for my children and their futures like everybody apart from the still 'moronic' Labour and Starmer Supporting posts that are still evident.

Starmer’s popularity rating has dropped to -49 today, a new all time low, after the recent by election. I think if it drops much lower it will be impossible to record.

Maybe they'll stop counting when he gets to -50 😂

Rupert lowe is after Angela Rayner for having lots of money suddenly. Frankly I can't make head nor tail of this accusation.

That’s great.

Just seen Starmer on the news doing his U turn. God he looks like shit!
He is totally out of his depth, and petrified of Polanski.

Today I'm hearing that the Islamic Centre in Maida Vale has been under investigation for some time as it might be proxy for the IRGC.

I can't say I'm shocked but it does worry me. Also, should that investigation not have been sorted as a matter of priority? Apparently it's been going on for a couple of years. And they held a vigil for the Ayatollah today.

redange · 01/03/2026 22:08

Rupert Lowe is a Crackpot ! He,himself is a Wealthy Self Made Man so knows that you can't go from 0- 30 Million in two minutes (unless you Ant And Dec) Joke.. Rayner does not have the money to pay a £40 K overdue payment on Stamp duty. Absolute Bollocks which highlights why Reform had to get rid of this 'Joker' alongside Ben Egotist Habib with 100 votes in Gorton..

This, is like the highly stupid accusation the Senate committee made about George Galloway an Iraqi oil many moons ago . Not that I am a George Galloway fan but his recent arrest at Heathrow Airport was a disgrace and an affront to democracy...

So bad isn't it. Very worrying.
Labour pledged to proscribe the IRGC when in opposition. There are probably many IRGC here already.

Perhaps Starmer has a Piece of paper: Nevile Chamberlain style stating the IGRC will not attack on UK territory or any British assets if we are only operating in a defense manner ?

Marvellous
FFS having only been in power twice in about a hundred years, Labour will lead us into another illegal war because they don’t have the balls to stand up to the US
I hope this the end of the Labour Party - forever.

JaneV1984Madness · 01/03/2026 22:36

@EmeraldRoulette that is very concerning.
I thought we had been all over dodgy mosques after that hook guy got caught out ?

Starmer looks incredibly uncomfortable.
I wonder if all this was mooted on trumps tour of the middle east a while ago.
I wonder how much starmer knew !

That article is hilarious. Burnham shopping around for a seat by offering promises of a peerage if he becomes leader! I believe it, but I can’t understand how any sane MP would agree to the deal.

The MP would have to resign, Burnham would have to get through the NEC, the arguments about mayors not standing down would have to be overturned, he’d have to win a by-election, and then he’d have to win a leadership election. Long shot. Very long shot.

More interesting is where the story came from. My guess is it was leaked by Starmer’s crew. Labour’s in turmoil.

EmeraldRoulette · 01/03/2026 22:46

@Effic illegal war?

@JaneV1984Madness again, possibly because of my own experience, I tend to keep an eye on this sort of thing. I dropped the ball the last few years because it doesn't do me any good. And you know what, if they're going to kill people, I love again, I can't do anything about it.

But I got the impression they very much dropped the ball after dealing with the Finsbury Park mosque. I have a lot of concerns, especially when I lived in London. The Maida Vale place was not on my radar at all. I genuinely had no idea it was under investigation.

I moved away from London in 2023 though and it looks like the investigation started after that, otherwise it's the type of thing I probably would've heard about.

I've heard it said that there are a few charities operating which people are concerned about and I don't know what's happening

But Starmer didn't agree to proscribe any organisations consider considered to be proxies - didn't that happen a couple of weeks ago? And of course I was baffled. But he didn't have anything to say about them killing their own people either.

But this is a man who was going to pay to give away military security.

Once again, I find myself wondering what he is up to. There are dark forces at work here.

Posters talking about the state of Labour, Robert Jenrick says he is making an announcement about Rachel Reeves tomorrow... goodness knows what that would be. It may turn out to be a damp squib but he's counting it as a big scandal.

Ironically, this does feel like a time where a new party would be a huge risk. I'm not a Reform voter anyway - it's just something that occurred to me. Depends how long this goes on of course.

I was so curious about this that I tracked down his X post. It’s very, er, dramatic.

If this announcement isn’t genuinely major news and resignation-standard stuff about Reeves, Jenrick’s going to look a right knob.

@Julen7 that really made me laugh 😂 can you imagine?

@DenizenOfAisleOfShame yeah I can't really imagine what it can be. And I'm also surprised that he doesn't want to wait. And giving a time for the announcement. Blimey. Tempted to tell him he'll be interrupting the nation's Cheerios....

I'd be keeping it well under the carpet if Reeves was joining another party! 😬🤣

I'm trying not to think about the war overly. It seems to be escalating rather quickly.
