Regime constantly rigs selections and mounted smear campaigns vs left-wingers, now plans to vet who can stand for any party. What could possibly go wrong?
Independent MP Apsana has given a devastatingly moving speech in the House of Commons about the abuse that she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband and his allies – as part, at the time, of Starmer’s Labour machine in her constituency – and the ongoing threat to her security.
Begum faced not only a smear campaign to remove her as the then-Labour candidate for Poplar Limehouse before last year’s general election, but an attempt by the Labour right to criminalise her with false charges of housing fraud. The attempt failed and the charges were thrown out, but the process left Begum traumatised – and Labour HQ’s ghouls were left slinking away disappointed after gathering at the court to tell the press about their by-election campaign after what they had assumed would be a conviction.
Begum later accused Starmer and his then-henchman David Evans of not just failing to support her but of orchestrating a cruel smear campaign against her and trying to exploit her mental distress – Starmer was then seen chatting happily with the person trying to orchestrate her removal. Almost immediately after she successfully defended her seat in July last year, Starmer withdrew the party ‘whip’ because she wouldn’t vote to keep poor children poor and hungry.
But the Starmer regime is more than ready to exploit her distress for its own ends. Begum spoke harrowingly to MPs yesterday of the abuse and “institutional gaslighting” she continues to suffer and her ongoing fears for her safety, and asked for a Commons debate on domestic abuse.
Right-wing Labour minister Lucy Powell stood up and responded that Labour is introducing a bill “that will be looking at issues around the suitability of candidates”:
No to the debate Begum asked for, then; instead, what looked very much like responding to her description of institutional gaslighting with… more institutional gaslighting – and another power grab by the Starmer regime to try to use legislation to ‘vet’ candidates and control who can stand, not just for Starmer’s Labour, but for any party. Begum gets what is essentially a pat on the head and told she might get a word in the debate on the power grab.
Last year, I ran in an election where I faced ongoing abuse, harassment and coercive control. It’s relentless and goes on and on, along with the wall of institutional gaslighting. I want to be clear once more: I will never submit.

The Starmer regime’s record on candidate selection within Labour is appalling, with instances of apparent or evident rigging so blatant that even some ‘mainstream’ analysts have felt compelled to comment on it.
This has ranged from suspension or removal of popular left-wing candidates, or even whole constituency parties, during selection processes, barring them from standing, to bare-faced announcements by Labour’s right-wing executive that it would be directly controlling selections – often imposing far-right candidates with no connection to the area, especially those who support Israel and often despite major allegations of sexual misconduct, racism or bullying.
And Starmer’s support for Israel and lust for control has been proven to be so strong that he is perfectly prepared to turn the UK into a police state that uses terror legislation to arrest anti-genocide activists for organising a Zoom call.
Now Starmer is looking for a way to bar parliamentary and other candidates his regime finds undesirable – and exploiting the distress of a Muslim woman MP that Labour abused, dumped and cut loose to do it. What could possibly go wrong?

I guess Angela Rayners, Yvette Copper and Keir Starmer will be found unsuitable because of their penchant for accepting expensive gifts and over their fascistic tendencies.

Experience demonstrates that this is not how matters work in the Collective West. Particularly in these islands.
The way it actually works is that those in the pay of the Western Oligarchy pick and choose when, where ant to whom any particular rule or law applies to suit the convenience of themselves and the minority of parasites they represent.
Why else is it that Britain has no written constitution but instead operates ton unwritten constitution which successive generations of
The record clearly shows that attempts to tackle this misuse and inconsistent application of what should be generically applicable to all within such a framework does not work. The only practical way to deal with this is to permanently eliminate the parasites, their servants and sycophantic cheerleaders.
Apologies. That should read:
“Why else is it that Britain has no written constitution but instead operates on an unwritten constitution which successive generations of the same small clique of ruling Oligarch families manipulate to fleece the rest of the populace.”
