  3. @robertcook117  My understanding of these irrational statements is the single minded - perfect game plan Mr Starmer had throughout the campaign. You know as well as I do that labour were fighting every media outlet and so.e clever people were looking for thinks in the armour. Mr Starmer saw the disgraceful lies about JC's character assassination in the last election. Lie after lie about labour and it's leader took a tole on the man and the party. Well Mr Starmer is a man of the law, a man of detail, a man of inspirational foresight and he steered through the right wing media mine fields and won a tremendous victory. That caused the right wing press, political classes and the likes of reform to wobble their psychopathic heads in a frenzy. It's happening now and will continue - they will throw rocks to muddy the pool of Labours success but they will all fail because Mr Starmer is a special man with a vision for the UK PEOPLE. The Tories ruled for the top 4% and cared not for the rest of us. All those good working class folk duped and patronised by Farage's Reform UK Limited are fighting for the 4% and they're flying the flag but are totally blind to the fact that their leaders (directors of a company) are fighting to get the most democratic political party ever to exist in the UK. Labour's manifesto reads like everyone's wish list whereas Farage will / has promised the earth with zero practical way of achieving anything at all! He can say anything like a tap roo. Know it all....but with far right motivations 180 degrees opposed to what the reform followers actually want. So the Stalin rhetoric is purely another back handed compliment (in a way) of Mr Starmers will to win and his beating of the whole UK right wing media. He's strong and I wish him well!

  43. Under the Conservatives: 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions? Keir Starmer made the Crown Prosecution Service work for people: • In his first year in the role, he oversaw the first ever UK prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorists. • In 2009, he sought a retrial of terrorists involved in a suicide bombing plot that saw them locked behind bars. • A year later, he brought forward charges against Tory and Labour politicians during the expenses scandal. • In 2012, he worked with Doreen Lawrence to play a crucial role in bringing the racist killers of her son Stephen to justice. • When John and Penny Clough’s daughter Jane was murdered after her killer was released on bail, he worked with them to change the law so that no one had to go through what they did – they’re now close friends. • In 2013, he launched the Victims’ Right to Review, giving victims and bereaved families the right to challenge decisions not to charge suspects or drop cases. Keir Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions: Keir Starmer was appointed Chief Prosecutor and head of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2008. He held the post for five years, before becoming leader of the Labour Party in 2020. The role was a recognition of his work as a lawyer, which included helping to take Vladimir Putin to court for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and five years as legal advisor to the Northern Ireland Policing Board, helping to bring communities together following the Good Friday Agreement. In 2014, Keir Starmer received a knighthood for his services to criminal justice. What did Keir Starmer achieve as Director of Public Prosecutions?

How Keir Starmer has stood up for victims of crime Keir Starmer reformed the Crown Prosecution Service so that victims were listened to – as a result, conviction rates of sexual offences rose and victims were better supported. Conservative MPs in the Tory government at the time praised Keir for his work. The then Tory Attorney General, Dominic Greaves, described Keir Starmer as “one of the most successful directors of recent years” and “highly effective and someone who always behaved with great integrity”. What Labour will do to tackle crime: Under the Conservatives, 90% of crimes now go unsolved. The Tories have hollowed out neighbourhood policing and taken a wrecking ball to the criminal justice system. That means more criminals being let off and more victims being let down.

  47. MR STARMERS LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN BUSY REPAIRING THE TORIES BROKEN BRITAIN  & PROTECTECTING GB FROM REFORM LIES: The headlines are: • Record funding for the NHS! • Above inflation pay rises and improved rights for millions of workers. • Big reforms to improve the education, transport, energy, water quality and justice systems   Our Achievements  Health • We all know how important primary care is for our wellbeing as well as reducing the non-urgent use of A&E. We’re therefore giving an extra £889m for GPs on top of existing cash and tailoring incentives so you can see the same doctor! • An extra £25.7bn a year for the NHS- the biggest increase since 2010. The Tories would have continued their slow neglect of our NHS- so this is a huge turning point. • We are very lucky to have the wonderful Rotherham Hospice in our constituency, so I am delighted that we are investing £100 million into hospices across the UK to improve vital palliative care. • Work is well under way to introduce vital reforms in the NHS as well - it’s not just about throwing money at the problem. Housing • Voting for the Renters Right Bill – banning no fault evictions and making sure landlords are keeping homes safe and do not unfairly ban pets. This is huge in terms of enabling people to settle down and feel secure. • A new National Planning Policy Framework to make it easier to use low quality sites to build on so we can build the homes we desperately need. There are no easy answers to our housing crisis, but we know we need more affordable homes and infrastructure. Education • An extra £2.3bn for schools including an extra billion for SEND (special educational needs and disability) provision. Whilst I’m proud that through extensive campaigning the SEND is Rotherham has improved, access to SEND provision is one of the biggest issues in my inbox so this cash injection is very welcome. • Scrapped one word Ofsted reviews, rolling out breakfast clubs, expanding school-based nurseries, launching a curriculum review, bringing forward a Children’s bill.  Transport • The Rail Franchising Bill which will begin to bring our rail network back into public ownership.  • The Bus Service Bill which will enable local authorities to run their own buses. This will make it easier to get the routes we need. • I continue to push for more buses and more bus routes. This issue has a dramatic impact on peoples lives and the local economy and is not something I am backing away from. Living Standards • A huge 6.7% rise to the National Living Wage- a pay rise to 3.5 million of our lowest paid workers. That’s 3.5 million workers with extra cash to spend in their local economy. There’s also a record rise for under 21s as we move to end the age disparity as well as a rise for apprentices. This is a hugely significant move to reduce poverty. • Pay-rises of between 5% and 6% for our nurses, soldiers, teachers and public sector workers after years of below inflation rises leaving them significantly underpaid compared with 2010. • Established the Child Poverty Task Force which will tackle social injustice and is a huge step forward to ending child poverty for good. • The Employment Rights Bill which will bring the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights since the minimum wage was established in the late 90’s. This is a huge victory and thank you to our Trade Union colleagues for all their hard work. • And some very important news- latest data shows wages have risen by 5.2%, faster than the cost of living, meaning that after a decade of real wage stagnation, we may be finally starting to see real pay rises and people better off. • A personal favourite of mine: giving the surplus in the Mineworkers Pension Fund back to mineworkers. On average that’s £29 extra a week for a retiree and I’m hugely proud we have made it happen so quickly. Illegal Immigration • As we know, the huge rise in illegal immigration has fuelled distrust of our governments. Showing we can police our borders is vital so we have recruited a Border Security Commander responsible for smashing the gangs and bringing down the numbers of illegal migration.  • We have also deported over 2,590 people with no legal right to remain in the UK. This compares with just 2,170 enforced returns over the same period in 2023, a huge increase of 19% from under the last government. • We have upped the number of asylum cases being processed from just a few hundred under the Tories to thousands a month. That means those who have a right to be here can get their status confirmed and get on with their lives instead of being stuck in limbo. • Reversing MOD failures that saw brave Afghans who worked with our troops in Afghanistan unfairly denied asylum.  Justice • The Infected Blood Scandal is a horrible injustice and should never have happened. The previous government hadn’t set aside a penny in compensation, but we have committed to these families and allotted over £11bn. • Justice delayed is justice denied so I am glad we have opened up an extra 2000 Crown Court Sitting Days to hear cases and tackle the backlog. • Work is well under way on police funding so we can get those extra police officers recruited in South Yorkshire as soon as possible. Environment • Introduced Great British Energy Bill which will deliver more clean and secure energy and prevent our reliance on overseas sources.  • The legal preparation to permanently ban all types fracking is well under way. Whilst complex, I hope we will see legislation very soon. • Introduced the Water Measures Bill which penalises water bosses who pollute our water.  I could go on and detail the extra money for local authorities, the rise in legal aid, compensation for LGBT veterans unfairly dismissed, the establishment of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body and a new pilot scheme to give music lessons to disadvantaged children but perhaps that is another email! However, I think we can all agree that there is plenty there to be very proud of. Of course, the dire financial inheritance has meant we have had to make some tough decisions as well; decisions we would never have made had we entered government in economic circumstances like 1997. As you all know, we decided to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, restricting it to those eligible for Pension Credit.
