Coward Starmer29 Apr 2025 05:47
“Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of cowardice after ruling out a visit to Runcorn ahead of a crucial by-election this week.
Downing Street said the Prime Minister had no plans to go to Runcorn and Helsby in Cheshire, where voters will elect a new MP on Thursday after Mike Amesbury, the former Labour MP, was jailed for assault.
On Monday, Sir Keir, who was on a visit in Lancashire, admitted the by-election would be “tough” as it tried to head off a challenge from Reform.
Labour’s own membership expects the party to lose the seat, according to a Survation poll earlier this month. A survey by Ipsos suggests that Sir Keir’s personal ratings are much lower nationally than those of Nigel Farage.
Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, said: “Keir Starmer is abandoning even safe Labour seats out of pure cowardice. He is afraid to hear from his own voters. Our Prime Minister is so weak.”
A Tory source said: “Keir Starmer is missing in action but it’s no wonder why.
“It is clear Labour know their own Prime Minister is toxic for their brand after his litany of disastrous decisions. But no amount of hiding away will distract the public from the fact Labour simply isn’t working.”
Mr Amesbury won with a majority of nearly 15,000 for Labour in the general election but then received a 10-week suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to punching a constituent last year, forcing a by-election.“
The beginning of the end of these morons hopefully 🤞
