SPGB Snippets: Hold the tears (2026)

From the Socialist Party of Great Britain website

September 2, 2026
So Starmer is about to resign as an MP. This will allow him to follow the plan he set out after he resigned as PM, i.e.:
“I will now focus on other things and that will be international affairs including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world.”
A cynic might translate this as:
“I shall reap the dividend of eleven short years in parliament by selling the tiny remnants of my soul to defence corporations, multinationals, big tech, bankers and investors. A quick message to all of you who have worked 40 odd years to gain a pitiful pension to last you through your uncomfortable final years, it appears you joined the wrong pension scheme. So long suckers”
