COSY CLUB: Akshata Murty has been appointed a trustee of the V&A by Starmer. Qualifications: being very, very rich — and married to Rishi Sunak

Why is the Labour government so addicted to giving government jobs to Tories when it spent so long trying to oust them? In the hope the favour is returned the next time the Tories return to power, writes SOLOMON HUGHES

THERE has been a small rush of Tory-linked appointments by the Labour government, showing Starmer’s ministers are pretty comfortable working with Conservatives. It all looks like a uniform, centrist “political class” are settling back in power, however we voted.

In March, Science Secretary Peter Kyle made former Tory science minister David Willetts chair of the Regulatory Innovation Office. A Labour science minister giving a government job to a former Tory science minister looks like “one hand washing another,” a political system where the “insiders” just give each other jobs.

At election time, the winning party promises “change,” and claims big ideological differences with the losers for the purpose of the election. After the votes, we get more of the same.

The Regulatory Innovation Office is supposed to stop regulators from getting in the way of new business innovations. Willetts is a veteran Thatcherite, who worked for Thatcher in her policy unit in the 1980s, so trying to reduce regulation is right up his street.

Willetts is an “intellectual” Tory nicknamed “two brains,” although both of these brains have backed policies like the Poll Tax, which are now viewed as disastrous.

Willetts was a firm backer of Thatcher’s policies during the miners’ strike, and as a minister upped students’ university tuition fees to £9,000 a year. If Labour members — or voters — were asked if they wanted Willetts, they would surely say “no.” Which is why they weren’t asked.

The point is that Zionists are Fascists as much as WW2 Nazi Fascists were Fascist scum

Contemporary Zionists deny human rights. They deserve to be locked up or worse.

Netaniahu, Starmer & Co (isn’t the cabinet to be held totally equally guilty)

Trump, Musk. Let’s fucking lock them up for being mass-murdering genocidal cunts just like the Nazis.

ed: Well come on, that’s exactly what they are. The UK government is supporting Israel’s genocide.

The Fascists of WW2 were different. The contemporary Fascists are Zionists. Yes, it’s difficult to understand in a historical way but current Zionists are very Fascist in the sense that they are racist and intolerant. [ed: They are the same in committing genocide. It is the responsibility of all of us to oppose and resist genocide.] ed: I don’t know about legality. We are all responsible to oppose and resist genocide, to hold those responsible to account. It’s a matter of humanity and common decency never mind anything more than that. Cnuts who are complicit or even less need to be punished.

ed: We have to oppose Fascism. I suggest that includes Netaniahu’s Israeli Neo-Fascism, UK Starmer’s Israel-supporting Fascism and US Trump (and Musk) Fascism. Fascism needs to be confronted and opposed.

03.27am GMT If nothing else, people in UK know that Starmer deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered or worse for complicity in genocide and these Labour Party cunts who support him deserve the same.

03.30a.m. Isn’t that what the law is? That genocide is illegal? yet Keir Starmer, David Lammy and the UK Labour Party, the UK military are complicit, active participants in genocide?
