British local elections: winners and losers

A brief hot take on who won and lost last week in British local elections.

Losers:

1. Der Starmer. Yes, that's what I call him. If you recognize the bad pun and like it, pass it on. If you don't like it, that's on you. If you don't get it, sorry.

2. Your Party, or as Paul Braterman called it, My Party, aka Jezza Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. What, you can't be a formally organized party to field local candidates yet? Yikes.

3. Zionists. On Shitter, by Sunday, they were already flinging the same false antisemitism claims that once got hurled at Corbyn at ..

1. Green Party and leader and leader Zack Polanski, who actually is Jewish and I hope has sharper elbows that he throws more vigorously than Corbyn. (Beyond being a wet noodle on the attacks against him, Corbyn's lie to the Labour caucus meeting about allegedly giving a vigorous defense to Remain is another reason I have low, low regard for him. He made his own bed long ago.)  Indeed, Polanski is more truly Jewish in some ways than his Zionist attackers — one of whom on Shitter, in response to me called Corbyn a "trot."

2. Gordon Brown. If Der Starmer's response to the shellacking includes resurrecting your political corpse, Gordo, you're a winner.

3. British politics. If Corbyn and Sultana can't get their shit together, the GP is already moving forward and providing an actual option on the left. We'll see what tea leaves to read out of the King's Speech today, otherwise: Starmer's one of those passive-aggressive types who won't step down without a shove and without breaking at least one deal. Would Labour backbencher anger at him rise enough for a confidence vote if he attempted to block it within the party?

Even keel

1. Nigel Farage and Reform. Other than Zionist rabbis inviting Farage and his antisemitic past to address them while excluding Polanski (and showing themselves to be big losers), they're not winners. Don't believe claims otherwise from the likes of the Beeb.
