Summary

Keir Starmer’s decision to abandon the pledges he made to Labour members to get elected has not gone down well with me. Winning peoples’s confidence through deceit makes you, in my view, well - a conman. Keir Starmer responded to my critique on TV - and this is my response.


(Also - I forgot to say in the video - he calls me a cheerleader for Jeremy Corbyn - and yes I did support his leadership - but he seems to have forgotten he was in his Shadow Cabinet and supposedly fought to make him prime minister).

Now, when Sam Tari, a minister, Shadow Minister, was sacked from the front bench for standing by striking workers,

0:06.5

I've known Sam Tari for a very long time, by the way, I was pretty annoyed, actually,

0:10.6

because I was imitated to say the least, so I did a rant, I like to rant, go out on my system.

0:16.5

Now, Kirstaama went on the Jeremy Ryan show, which I'm a regular one, I am a factor on tomorrow, one day,

0:22.8

and again, do you catch me there?

0:24.8

So, the video was put to him and then his reaction, so let's just have a look at this clip.

0:29.9

I mean, I'll show you a little clip of Owen Jones who's on this show a lot, have a look at this.

0:35.0

Kirstaama is a professional political conman. He has,

0:39.4

brazenly, overtly delivered the exact opposite of what he said he would be as a Labour leader.

0:46.4

I know he is army of supporters online, the most tedious, ridiculous, weight-chose customers

0:53.9

that you will ever come across, they think it's all fine, but the fact is, that is the truth.

0:59.4

He is a conman, he is not someone anyone can trust.

I'm not focused on Owen, I'm sorry Owen, I know Owen, I like Owen, I'm not focused on Owen,

1:10.7

because I'm weight-chose customers, I'm focused intently on winning the next general election,

1:17.0

because we can talk about what we're going to do uphill and downhill, until we win an election,

1:21.3

we won't do it. Labour artists lost four elections in a row, I mean, was a cheerleader of the last

1:26.9

attempt and we failed. If we carry on like that, we are letting millions of people down,

1:32.7

so I took a decision to take the Labour Party from where we were when I took over, which was the

1:37.2

worst general election defeat since 1935, change the Labour Party, make it face the voters and talk
