The Well-Deserved Ouster Of Starmer
What was described as inevitable since the Epstein-Mandelson scandal broke in the UK on February 9, 2026 came to pass on June 22, as Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as the British Prime Minister. The attempt to cover up the truth was part of the Mandelson story: Did Starmer know about the Jeffrey Epstein connection when he appointed Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the US, as seemed likely, and if so, why appointed him?
Peter Mandelson, known as the Prince of Darkness due to his conniving ways, has seen his fair share of scandals. In addition to his great friendship with the pedophile Epstein, his backroom deal granting Peter Thiel’s Palantir complete access to the meta-data files of the National Health Service (NHS) is under investigation as a major crime.
Another strike against Prime Minister Starmer was his failure to rescue the British economy from the damage done by 14 years of Tory rule. Youth unemployment is at the highest level in years, the chronic problems with the NHS show little improvement and 50,000 pensioners have been plunged into poverty. Racial tensions have spiked, driven in part by the unresolved problem of immigration.
In July 2024, Starmer was swept into office in what is called the loveless landslide, with Labour winning 411 seats out of 650 in the House of Commons. His victory was not attributed to his personal competence or charisma, but to the abject failures of the succession of Tory Prime Ministers (Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak), who wrecked the economy by applying the Thatcher Model – privatisation, deregulation and free trade. This formula, which benefits the City of London, depends on looting both the former colonies, which requires a bigger defence budget, and the British population, as real wages fall and unemployment and part-time jobs increase.
For all his talk about fairness for the working man, Starmer stuck with the neoliberal policies of Margaret Thatcher, which had been continued by Tony Blair with his New Labour fraud. Starmer’s team included many Blair veterans, such as Mandelson, a key architect of New Labour. Mandelson brought with him Morgan McSweeney, who became Starmer’s Chief of Staff. They had created Labour Together in 2017, which was funded by hedge funds and corporations, to promote Blair’s neoliberal model and used it to destroy then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was fighting to rid the party of that same influence.
Corbyn, in addition to opposing the austerity budgets of both major parties, called for reversal of the privatisation of rail, setting up a national investment bank to invest in home building in order to relieve the housing shortage and to revive the manufacturing sector. He also called for the withdrawal of the UK from NATO and opposed the Iraq War.
McSweeney created the Centre for Countering Digital Hate in 2018, which played a lead role in slandering Corbyn as an anti-Semite. When the latter was forced out as Labour leader, the door opened for Starmer to take over.
The favourite to replace Starmer is Andy Burnham, who thus far has shown little to differentiate himself from the succession of place-keepers at 10 Downing Street, who serve the interests of the monarchy, the financiers and cartels of the City of London.
