Unstable Starmer is damaging our global reputation

KEIR Starmer and the Labour Party are rotten to the core, with no integrity or moral compass.

- By Dame Priti Patel SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY

From defending the appalling behaviour of Peter Mandelson to backing Angela Rayner over her property tax scandal, Labour are unfit to govern.

If Starmer had a backbone or an ounce of decency he would have sacked Mandelson as British Ambassador to the US over his close relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein as soon as the disgusting revelations about their friendship were made public.

It is unbelievable that a PM would spend so much effort defending Mandelson but Starmer prioritised doing this over any moral and compassionate consideration for the many victims of Epstein’s sickening abuse.

Britain has a proud record of standing up to protect the rights of women and girls and defend them from sexual violence across the globe but Starmer has damaged our nation’s credibility and longstanding work in this area.

Time after time, the British people have seen Starmer’s atrocious judgment. His approach to dealing with every political scandal — ranging from lawbreaking, to corruption to tax avoidance — is to stick his head in the sand, defend his corrupt friends and hope the issue will go away.
