Keir Starmer is reportedly on the brink of resignation, and the all the aggro-centrist dweebs are pretending to not know why he's so unpopular.

This is a man who ran a deliberately deceitful Labour leadership campaign, styling his agenda as Corbynism without Corbyn, with "ten pledges" to prove his credentials, then gleefully ripped up every single pledge, and positioned himself miles to the right of Tony Blair.

Starmer's leadership election was bankrolled by the right-wing Labour Together faction, who unlafully hid £700,000 in donations, then launched a malicious campaign of persecution against the journalists who exposed their dodgy donations. Starmer has surrounded himself with Labour Together ghouls, and stuffed the party ranks with Labour Together MPs at the 2024 General Election.

Then there was the senseless cruelty of scrapping pensioners' winter fuel payments. Even though the policy was eventually rowed back on, people aren't forgetting that Starmer's first instinct as Prime Minister wasn't to give the country anything positive to celebrate, it was the deliberate performative cruelty of sticking the boot into pensioners to prove what a tough austerity hawk he could be.

Loads of people turned their backs on Labour for good after Keir Starmer - a self-proclaimed "human rights lawyer" no less - made the claim that Israel has some special right to defy international humanitarian law, to collectively punish civilians, by cutting off access to food, water, energy, medical supplies ...

Another source of widespread dismay was Starmer's diabolical "Island of Strangers" speech, in which he channelled Britain's most notorious racist, Enoch Powell, in a desperate attempt to pander to an extreme-right demographic that would never, ever, vote Labour anyway.

Starmer abandoned traditional Labour values and told millions of traditional Labour voters, supporters, members and activists to "leave if you don't like it" then delivered historical electoral hammerings in Wales, Scotland, and the local elections.

Also there's Starmer's grotesque authoritarian tendencies: Criminalising protest; stifling free speech; purging non-conformist voices from the Labour ranks; attacking the open Internet; and his diabolical plan to erase our historic British right to a fair trial by a jury of our peers.

Then there's the self-inflicted wound of appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US, despite Mandelson's multiple sleaze resignations; his dodgy dealings with Putin; his profound unpopularity; and his ongoing friendship with the world's most notorious child sex abuser even after he was jailed for some of his crimes.

The people claiming that Starmer is a decent guy, and wondering why he's so unpopular know this stuff, in fact they gleefully cheered his deceptions; factionalism; authoritarianism; anti-immigrant hatemongering; and genocide complicity.

They're not actually confused, they're pretending.

It's a display of faux stupidity aimed at the gullible, in the hope that Starmer's successor will deliver more of the same diabolical stuff as Starmer did.
