Now Starmer Blames Firebombing Attacks For ‘Island of Strangers’ Immigration Mess

Another nugget from Tom Baldwin’s interview with Starmer is raising eyebrows at the highest levels in Labour today. Starmer essentially blames the despicable arson attacks on his properties for the comms crisis that followed his ‘island of strangers’ immigration speech…

The piece relates:

“…emphasising he is not using the firebomb attack as an excuse and doesn’t blame his advisers or anyone else except himself for these mistakes, Starmer says he should have read through the speech properly and “held it up to the light a bit more”.

Starmer draws a parallel between the timing of the attacks and the meltdown that followed his speech. If a state had any connection to those attacks, Starmer’s admission here would be seen as a big win by hostile actors, by his own admission he took his eye off the ball…

Three men have so far been charged with those attacks and will face trial in April of next year. All three have indicated they deny the charges. No details are known as to the motive and no relevant details have been released by the authorities. Starmer’s interview includes multiple admissions that he is finding his role difficult and pressured. Is Keir Starmer ok?
