Keir Starmer promised change.
He promised decency, justice, and a break from the chaos.
But what did we get?
The same old gruel — just served in a shinier bowl.
Thread 🧵
🎩 The Promise:
– “End of factionalism”
– “Stronger social safety net”
– “Green prosperity”
– “Closer EU ties”
– “Public ownership”
– “Integrity in politics”
🥄 The Reality:
– MPs suspended for defending the poor
– Welfare cuts, surveillance, silence
– Net zero stalled, fossil deals favoured
– No re-entry to EU, no single market talk
– Rail, water, post still privatised
– Labour selections rigged, members purged
Why? Because Starmer’s job was never transformation.
It was management.
Of decline.
Of discontent.
Of dissent.
A custodian of the broken order, in a suit.
He was put there by:
– Morgan McSweeney (discipline > democracy)
– Maurice Glasman (order > justice)
– Paul Marshall’s networks (Brexit billionaires)
The aim: stability, not solidarity. Control, not change.
The real plan?
– Shrink the welfare state
– Privatise without debate
– Criminalise protest
– Keep food, land, and energy in private hands
– Prepare the ground for the next hard-right wave in 2029
This isn’t “the grown-ups are back in charge.”
This is the managed return of Thatcherism …… under a Labour logo.
Nigel Farage says a migrant deal with @EmmanuelMacron is wrong because “this is Brexit Britain—we voted to take back control, not to accept a deal from a French president.”
But here’s the thing:
This is Brexit Britain. And it means a permanent migrant crisis we can’t fix. 🧵
Farage is right—this is what Brexit Britain looks like:
•We left the Dublin Regulation, so we can’t return asylum seekers to the first EU country they entered.
•We scrapped freedom of movement, but kept labour shortages that drive exploitation.
•We burned bridges, then begged for lifeboats.
ow small boat crossings are up, and the UK has to beg France for cooperation.
That’s not “taking back control.” That’s losing the tools we once had, then complaining about having to deal with the consequences.
2. Russia — the world’s biggest wheat exporter — has slashed export taxes to zero.
Why? To stop bread prices rising at home.
Their harvest is down ~14% due to hail, frost, and drought.
A global grain shock is already underway. 🌾🌍
3. The UK won’t be spared.
We had:
•Winter floods (crops not planted)
•Spring drought (crops dying)
•No strategic grain reserve
And British farmers are being paid to take land out of production under post-Brexit schemes.
🧵 1. Rachel Reeves cried in PMQs. The markets wobbled. And BlackRock stepped in.
What just happened wasn’t compassion. It was a moment of rupture in a govt stitched together by executive overreach, narrative control — and global finance. A thread. 👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…
2. Reeves broke down during PMQs last week.
On the surface, it looked human - even relatable. But markets saw something else: instability. And they blinked.
🧵 Steve Coogan has dropped a political truth bomb.
He says Starmer’s Labour has abandoned its principles and is paving the way for the “racist clowns” of Reform UK.
But there’s a deeper story here — about Maurice Glasman, Blue Labour, and a dangerous ideological drift. 👇
Coogan’s points to a hollowed-out Labour Party — one that talks like the Tories, governs from the centre-right, and ignores the social decay fuelling Farage.
“It’s all gesture politics… They’ve abandoned working-class people.”
That’s not accidental.
Maurice Glasman — Blue Labour’s architect — has pushed for this exact direction:
•Tough talk on immigration
•Embrace of Brexit
•Demonising the left
•Nostalgic nationalism
All dressed up as “working-class values”.
Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s Cummings, is Glasman’s protege.
🧵 Last night on @Channel4News, Lord Maurice Glasman (who claims that McSweeney is one of theirs) said the quiet part out loud:
Brexit was just the beginning.
What comes next? A radical border regime, slashed welfare, and a purge of “progressive” politics — under Labour. 👇
Glasman called Brexit “a great move by the British people”. For him, it wasn’t about sovereignty — it was about rebuilding the nation on harder, harsher terms: national service, closed borders, and an end to liberal rights.
This is the ideological engine behind Starmer’s rightward lurch. Glasman, who founded Blue Labour, wants to reset the nation — not toward social justice, but toward tradition, obedience, and state‑enforced identity
