Honesty and integrity are seriously lacking in many of our esteemed politicians.
Well, I say esteemed, but I mean dreadful. Shameful. Abysmal. Or you could use more offensive words to that effect, if that helps you express your anger more appropriately. But even many of those will feel too mild for some of them.
One in particular has fallen so far that he is now among the least trusted leaders in the country—even polling below Nigel Farage in recent favourability ratings.
And of course, there are no prizes for guessing that we’re talking about Sir Keir Starmer.
When he stood for election as Labour leader, Starmer said:
“No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.”
Well, we’ve now spent nearly twenty months witnessing a live-streamed genocide and crimes against humanity on our screens. And during that time, Keir Starmer has effectively accepted that the perpetrators have the right to cut off food and water—and now even deny vital medical and humanitarian aid. All while the government continues to supply components used in F-35 fighter jets, which have been instrumental in the destruction of Gaza and the killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, many of them children.
How the hell can this man talk about putting “human rights at the heart of foreign policy” and being a “force for international peace and justice,” while doing absolutely nothing to prevent one of the worst atrocities of our age? It defies belief.
And let’s not even get started on “no more illegal wars” or his fabled “Prevention of Military Intervention Act”! Where are those fine principles now that Donald Trump has dragged the USA illegally into the Israel–Iran conflict?
Poll after poll shows where the public really stands: sixty-two percent support sanctions against the Israeli government and a clear majority oppose any UK involvement in the conflict with Iran—something Keir Starmer has signalled he’d support.
Don’t lose faith, though. We’re called Majority because the majority of people agree with us.
Across the country people are making a stand, including independents, Green Party members and politicians, and socialist MPs (yes, there are still a few of them knocking about—those with properly fitted spines). We continue to work with allies to fight for peace, justice, and the upholding of universal human rights.
We are the majority. And we’re opposed to these horrors.
