stay, the bigger Reform&#8217;s majority will be, and the harder it will be for the Labour Party to return. As a political party, they are finished. Starmer has destroyed a 126-year-old political party in less than 2 years. He has become the most hated Prime Minister in history: here&#8217;s why. To reach the world stage, he spends most of his time outside this country, giving away billions of taxpayers&#8217; money to gain favour with people who you can see despise the sight of him. Apart from gob shite rubbish about smashing the gangs, he has done nothing about the illegal invasion of third-world men who put our Women and girls in danger of sexual assault on a daily basis. When decent, civilised Britons question this, Starmer labels them far-right and racist. He also says that addressing the Pakistani rape gangs amounts to jumping on the Far-Right bandwagon. He invited a known Muslim terrorist to number ten 10 yet banned foreign commentators from the UK for criticising the border fiasco.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg" width="291" height="173" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:173,&quot;width&quot;:291,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Alt8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F39e397a7-2eb1-49ec-8881-3928b8c309cf_291x173.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>What sort of man hangs around with other men who are friends with paedophiles, and then promotes them to high office?</p><p>While housing illegal migrants in hotels, he has introduced legislation that will destroy the private rental market and leave thousands of British working families homeless.</p><p>Consistently refuses to answer questions during the session in the parliamentary week set aside for this purpose.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Failure.

But Starmer has made weakness, errors and untruths his hallmark. This is not a good look, and it is dangerous for our country and its people. Let&#8217;s look at what Starmer has retreated on in the past months. </code></p><p>He has retreated on cutting fuel payments and on reforming the massive welfare system, leaving hard-working people to pay for the great unwashed who refuse to work. He tried to interfere in the upcoming local elections, encouraging the labour councils to cancel them for a year, so as not to be wiped out by reform, or, God forbid, the Greens.</p><p>Starmer tried to halt the Pakistani grooming gang enquiry, saying he would not jump on the far-right bandwagon, putting his now-lost Asian vote before justice for the victims of mass child gang rape. While Starmer fights to stay Prime Minister and Labour MPs fight among themselves, let&#8217;s look at what they are ignoring, only thinking about themselves and their jobs. While the two main parties fight it out over the dodgy individual, Peter Mandelson, inflation rises, with virtually no growth and flat-lining productivity, millions sit at home on welfare benefits getting fat, while working people have to tighten their belts. We have the highest energy bills in the developed world because of the stupidity of Labour&#8217;s net-zero policies. Our once great hospitality businesses, from pubs to hotels, wrecked. Pub after Pub closing because of taxes, arcane rules, and regulations. Hotels crammed full of illegal Third World men who roam our streets, and sadly, rape British women and girls in alarming numbers.</p><p>Yet what does Starmer do? Nothing.</p><p>He cannot go on; he must go for all our sakes.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Starmer and friends.]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Steve

Saturdays, the far left organises anti-British marches. They claim they are fighting the Far Right. They are a dreadful and foolish group of young people with green hair and bitter-faced older individuals. They shout hatred towards our country and chant &#8216;Death to Jews&#8217;.</p><p>Gay people chant for Palestine, even though they would face death if they went there. They wave flags of the ayatollahs, men who killed 40000 of their young people.</p><p>Meanwhile, the so-called Far Right are either at work or at home caring for their families. Many of them, to the left&#8217;s disdain, are Christians, and this is offensive to Muslims, so it should not be celebrated in public. Easter eggs are now called chocolate eggs to avoid causing offence. Most far-right people believe that men should not dress as women or hang around women-only spaces. They also want the Government to stop illegal migration: boatloads of unvetted young men invading our country, whose backward cultures put our women and young girls at risk of sexual assault. The Left think this is OK, and it&#8217;s the Far Right that thinks otherwise.</p><p>So, from all decent people, Starmer, we are not the Far Right.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who voted for the Green Party]]></title><description><![CDATA[For God's sake]]></description><link>https://politicstheotherside.substack.com/p/anyone-who-voted-for-the-green-party</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://politicstheotherside.substack.com/p/anyone-who-voted-for-the-green-party</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[steve dyson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:29:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3X_2!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a84db6-9c20-4891-82c3-9d1c037a7a84_1206x776.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><code>Anyone who voted for the Green Party: this is what you supported.
