Labour Snatches This Embarrassing Title from the Tories And Keir Starmer Won’t Be Happy

Keir Starmer might not be thrilled about Labour gaining a certain reputation. There’s been a lot of talk about how Labour, once seen as the “good guys,” might not be so good after all.

Back in 2002, Theresa May called her own Conservative party “the nasty party,” which many thought was a huge mistake. It gave other parties an easy way to criticize the Tories for years. But now, people are starting to think that maybe Labour is the real “nasty party.”

Some of us have seen signs of this for a while. Gordon Brown, a former Labour leader, was known for a bullying culture in his office and once called a voter a “bigot” behind her back. Angela Rayner, another Labour figure, called her opponents “scum.” Neil Kinnock, a former Labour leader, even wished harm on a Tory MP. Labour’s election ads have targeted Rishi Sunak’s wife, and the party has been accused of antisemitism, with reports saying they were responsible for harassment and discrimination.

Since last July, things have gotten worse. Pensioners lost their fuel allowance, women from the WASPI campaign were left without support, farmers were targeted, and small businesses faced huge tax increases. There have also been scandals involving Labour MPs, like Mike Amesbury assaulting a constituent, Louise Haigh being fired for fraud, and Rachel Reeves lying on her LinkedIn profile.

But the most shocking example might be Andrew Gwynne, a former Health Minister. He was caught posting horrible messages in a WhatsApp group. He wished death on an elderly constituent who complained about her bins, made antisemitic comments, and even mocked his own colleagues. Another Labour MP, Oliver Ryan, was also part of this group and posted offensive messages about people’s sexuality.

These aren’t just random party members—they’re high-ranking officials. It’s shocking to see how nasty some of Labour’s top people can be. For years, Labour has acted like they’re the “good guys,” but now it’s clear that’s not the case.

The Tories have had their share of problems too, with embarrassing resignations and scandals. They’re not perfect. But let’s not pretend Labour is any better. In fact, they might be worse.
