Corbyn was *never* a friend, says Starmer | LBC

Keir Starmer hasn't spoken to Jeremy Corbyn in years, claiming the pair were colleagues but not friends (despite describing the former Labour leader as a friend in an ITV interview in 2020).

It's a shame that corbyn has been treated in such an appalling manner. Keir is a red tory.

[fretish]

Pretty shameful, Keir. Why are you even in the Labour Party? You seem so genuinely disdainful of the working class.

[pippipster]

He will just say anything, literally anything, to advance himself.

[terrydragatis]

Starmer will say literally anything if he thinks it'll get him into power.

[andycwm]

I would trust Corbyn over Starmer any day..

[jak]

Why doesn't Starmer ever discuss the Forde report?

[bryansmith]

Kier is a proven flip-flopper. Makes it up as he goes along.

[docmalthus]

And Starmer has never been a friend to the working class.

[Jordothecat]

Whatever your views on not allowing corbyn to stand, it’s just an objective truth that starmer lied and that corbyn was his friend, and it’s yet another thing he’s changed his tune on

[letura]

I don't trust Starmer. He won't deliver the change needed in this country.

[nicolaisacc]

Starmers lost my vote his treatment of Corbyn disgusts me

[johncarroll]

Jesus is this the best that Labour has to offer.

[Andyreally]

Any chance you could bring the Forde Report to the interview, I would love to hear Sir Kier’s in-depth analysis. He did, after all, ask Martin Forde KC to research and produce it.

[timechange]

It turns my stomach that the only way to get the Tories out is to vote for this termite. Ask him about the results of the Forde report he commissioned someone. But you won't

[skahn]

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic!!! It's human rights and democracy

[TuntunGamer]

He hasn't spoken to him for 2.5 years because he backstabbed him and now can't face the man. He's a liar, he will do anything to get power and he is only slightly better than Sunak imo

[theronster]

He's simply accepting his master's instructions that no criticism of the Palestinian occupation is allowed

[briandelaney]

Maybe you SHOULD have spoken to him, Keir. He’s given years of his life to the Labour Movement

[gjbell]

There are serious questions that need asking about Starmer. Like, is he even a Labour politician or a plant? His behaviour says the latter for sure! 👀

[platinumnitrocharge]

Trying to distance himself like Corbyn ever did anything actually wrong, which he didn't.
