Mothin Ali takes down spineless Starmer

Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali has responded to an attack from Keir Starmer:

It comes as president Donald Trump suggested that NATO is dead.

Mothin Ali calls out Starmer

Ali was responding to the following from Starmer:

Then you’ve got Polanski

He thinks that with a war on two fronts, now is the time to give up our NATO membership.

“A war on two fronts”, Starmer says.

Would you believe Starmer also bragged about not dragging us into the US and Israel’s war on Iran?

So which is it: are we at war or not?

Spoiler alert, we’re absolutely involved in the war:

Mothin Ali also called this out:

As we reported on 28 March, NATO is a US protection racket. This is a problem, because Donald Trump is saying things like this:

But I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn’t there. They just weren’t there.

It’s going to make a lot of money for the United States, because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO – hundreds protecting them. And we would have always been there for them. But now, based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we?

And let’s not forget that Trump was also talking about invading NATO member Greenland.

Starmer can bang on about NATO protecting us as much as he likes, but the reality is that the US is a menace, and sucking up to them no longer works.

Talk

Back to Starmer’s speech, he continued:

Now is the time to start negotiating with Putin over our nuclear deterrent

Is Starmer suggesting that negotiating with other world leaders is bad?

As opposed to what – just blowing up negotiators, as the US and Israel are prone to do?

Is this the mythical ‘sensible’ politics we’ve heard so much about?

Starmer’s speech finished as follows:

We’d be left so weak and so exposed if any of those individuals were in government.

It’s really important that we stick to our principles – stick to our value – and show the leadership that’s needed in a time like this.

Which values are we sticking to: the values of fighting two wars at once, or the values of not being dragged into any wars at all?

Values

‘Values’ and ‘principles’ are a good way of understanding why Starmer hates the Green Party. Specifically, his issue is that they actually seem to have values and principles (although they do need to sort out their stance on Zionism).

This is quite unlike Starmer himself, who has never announced a policy he hasn’t u-turned on.
