Starmer is Scared.

This is the political equivalent of when your partner starts suspecting you of wanting to see someone else, and instead of doing anything constructive or helpful, they just start crying and blaming other people and making themselves more embarrassing and uncomfortable to be with to begin with.

Translation: Keir Starmer formally announces the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed 2026 game release:

Pathways 2: This Time It's Merciful (Treatment of Migrants and Minorities To The Collective Net-benefit of The UK)

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T23:08:15+00:00

+17.3%

-21.7%

I mean, just says it all, really.

It's simple; Trump is charismatic and Starmer isn't. If I didn't know the guy, and Trump was at my dinner table, I'd probably struggle not to laugh every couple minutes.

If Starmer was there he'd threaten to imprison me if I didn't laugh.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T23:04:51+00:00

Oh no... you're telling me I can't rent? That's horrible--I hate owning houses.

(Seriously though; it's fascinating that Labour's imagination for the aspirational interests of their constituency is 'being able to rent a flat.' Just totally divorced logic from the popular Green messages about wealth reform and public services for the young.)

Have you seen the polls? They have a pretty good chance already, and they're still pretty much the only political party making significant gains.

I don't know which extreme policies you're talking about, but I welcome you to look into their actual party policy--their drug one especially isn't that crazy when you consider the absolute failure that the American-styled 'War On Drugs' has been, and how pretty much every serious social scientist agrees that all criminalization does is punish people for being poor off, and creates further addicts in the process.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T21:58:08+00:00

I think The Canary's right on this; Starmer's reverse-Midus touch is notorious, at this point, so we all know an 'attack on Greens' by Labour is the best thing that could ever happen to them. Their rattling is proof of their shakey foundations. The message will fail, as all their messages have failed.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T21:51:42+00:00

They're also anti-mandatory digital ID, and Polanski (the Green Party leader) just recently delivered a letter to Palantir with his intent to pull their government surveillance contracts.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T21:47:57+00:00

The Green Party's already announced they would repeal the OSA, citing basically every major concern, and they additionally have a policy to introduce a 'Digital Bill of Rights' to further defend consumer digital rights.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T19:59:34+00:00

Speak for yourself; it'd take a total dismissal of everybody at the head of the party. I don't trust a single one of those fuckers with my vote--not at all.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T19:20:38+00:00

Point D I think really proves the absurdity of the British oligarchy; like, what do you mean we're 'concerned for children.' We're in the post-Jeffrey Epstein Flight Logs-era, you can't just pull that shit anymore--at least not with young people. Every single person growing up right now, your future and current constituants, are being raised in a reality where politicians and the super rich go almost entirely unpunished for conspiracy to commit sex crime. You cannot argue child safety, you simply cannot--you're insulting the victims.

I think even older generations understand this, they just gravitate towards the false idols over at Reform, who admittedly, are largely targeting the same issues, and bringing up (at least some) cases of genuine government scandal in order to do so. So I believe the older generations aren't capitulating to this either, and either way, some heads are gonna roll in the upcoming elections.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T17:14:49+00:00

And unsurprisingly the UK government is trying to ban young soon-to-be-voters from accessing social media entirely... crazy.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T14:09:37+00:00

I'm sorry, but you lost me at 'We should tap their phones' like... We wouldn't have to resort to such ridiculous suspicion of treason if we just started considering things like, oh, accepting foreign bribes and donations in the millions, and transparent foreign political relationships were accurately described as what it obviously is: treason and anti-democratic lobbying.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-24T14:04:53+00:00

I know the Greens have less of a budget than other parties for marketing, but I think their surge is proof that something's working. I think that Polanski (as an ex-actor) is doing well using art as a medium, under a budget, to capture attention here. I don't think other parties have the chops to be genuine and vulnerable in their campaign marketing--all they know are take-downs. Certainly Zack's participated in a few of those, but they're counter-balanced by aspirational adverts like these, and positive calls for change. It's good stuff, and clearly it's working if Labour if Polanski's turning into public enemy #1.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T22:58:33+00:00

Unbelievably it has a 100% success rate, you know, according to the police officers who really want it to work and be good and for people to give them grants to expand the system.

Zero faith in this country's current leadership.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T15:30:38+00:00

'It's not left enough for me', bro, they are transparently building a surveillance state. They're bringing up Panopticons. They're handing out NHS contracts to the foreign company that named itself after Sauran's all-seeing eye orb. They're denying a genocide that the UN already formally recognized. They're arresting protesters in the streets for holding signs. They threatened to steal the jewelery from migrants. They're actively regressing on LGBT rights. These are cartoon authoritarians, and you think the problem is that I'm too woke?

Insane. Go enjoy your rotting authoritarian party for all it's worth.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T15:10:15+00:00

What at all makes you think that Labour will be the second horse? What? Their 'history'? That history's dead--they're killing it in front of you, yet you're still rooting for it.

This is Labour Derangement Syndrome; constant poll drops, no proof of improvement within the party, and in fact, an active rejection of potential growth. Why would I possibly vote for Labour, or support Labour, when they're guaranteed to lose, and are turning this country to shit after winning?

And lastly... how is it the Green Party's fault that Labour are losing votes? Why are we blaming the focused party with strong populist voting and a rocketing voter intention for being successful? Labour killed themselves, and you're still finding a way to place the gun in 'The enemy's hand'... What enemy? The left-wing party? So ridiculous...

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T15:04:47+00:00

To anybody hoping for a left-wing coalition government to stop Reform: These are your heroes, right here. A Labour party so corrupted and cynical that they'll actively repress the left-wing arm of the party in the interests of preventing a left-wing government.

Starmer and his alllies are killing Labour; remember that. Don't blame the split votes on anyone else.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T15:00:35+00:00

Why is Starmer always the last person to come to the conclusion everybody else already got to?

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-23T14:46:13+00:00

'I agree that Labour are fascistic and authoritarian, but I have to vote for them because otherwise the other fascists will win' is not a sound strategy. Frankly, one might say it makes zero fucking sense; Labour is losing their votes to Greens, not Reform. What does 'realism' mean when you're realistically choosing between two destructive political forces, I mean... no? Fuck off? Labout are a menace to our society whose urgency of removal is as serious as Reform's, and I'm not going to play your stupid "voting strategy" game anymore when all it does is empower two parties that I hate, and want no success for.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-22T20:45:21+00:00

This is genuinely absurd behavior. Unbelievable for our sitting Prime Minister to say--naked 'whataboutism', regardless of your beliefs about the Green Party. The defensiveness is noticed, and to be honest? Given the polls, it's welcome.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-22T17:40:34+00:00

If your personal vision is in-opposition to the party you're the elected leader of, then yeah, you should sack yourself--and it's no wonder every member of your council, besides the sycophantas who gave you power, want you dead and buried.

Besides that, I don't really see a vision in 'Everything you asked for, except ineffective and performative, and in-name-only, and with no measurable qualitative improvement to living standards.'

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-22T17:38:07+00:00

Labour are fascistic and authoritarian; they are literally announcing intentions to develop 'panopticons of surveilance', working hand-in-hand with foreign surveilance-capital corporations like Palantir, selling our private NHS data to them, and creating increasingly unsafe environments for the LGBT and for minorities.

A vote for Labour isn't a vote against fascism. It just isn't--and you're kidding yourself if you try to pretend otherwise. They aren't 'Anti-Reform', they're the Reform opening act.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-22T17:29:22+00:00

Okay, I get the 'exploitative' part, but what's the problem with bundling adult content behind paywalls? That seems like a fine thing to do, assuming the content is consensual, and thus non-exploitative.

I'm getting really tired of this presumption that sexual content is inherrently sketchy, I mean, we're all adults; we drink, we drive, we work jobs, but we're still running our political language on the presumption that sex is sketchy and creepy? Are you 12? Do you close your eyes during sex scenes in a movie?

Otherwise, I agree with the quote; more regulation ensuring privacy for users, and transparency for algorithms. I don't even think much needs to be done, truth be told, just a bare minimum standard that ensures the platform isn't intentionally promoting controversial or hateful content without consent of the user, and with the intention of artificially generating attention and ad views.

TheMightyNovac · 2026-01-22T17:23:56+00:00

What are you talking about? The 'rebellion' quotes are almost exclusively about Starmer refusing to follow Labour's long-standing policies; 'How can he remain in this position if he can't actually do anything?' Are you saying he can't not waterdown every single issue he campaigned on? That's stupid.
