Mehdi and Owen discuss why Starmer was booted out from office; the frontrunner to become the next prime minister, Andy Burnham; and how he would fare in a head-to-head match-up against Nigel Farage.
Keir Starmer — Prime Minister of the United Kingdom — RESIGNED YESTERDAY.
They're telling you it was "party pressure." They're telling you it was "polls." LIES.
Here's what ACTUALLY happened:
When Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions (2008-2013), his office sent WARNING LETTERS to 13,000 suspected grooming gang members. Not arrests. Not charges. LETTERS. "Please don't do it again."
250,000 BRITISH GIRLS. Raped. Trafficked. Tortured. Across 149 districts. For DECADES. And the man in charge of prosecuting these monsters sent them PAPER.
Two weeks ago, Operation Beaconport reopened 1,273 cases. The National Crime Agency called it their "most comprehensive investigation into child sexual exploitation" EVER.
What they found in those files FORCED his resignation.
I've been told the classified MI5 briefing delivered to Labour leadership on June 18 contained 3 categories of evidence:
CATEGORY A: Direct correspondence between Starmer's office and 7 sitting MPs — instructing prosecutors to DOWNGRADE charges from trafficking to "minor offenses." Names. Dates. Signatures.
CATEGORY B: Financial transfers from 3 foreign governments to a network of UK "charities" that were FRONTS for the trafficking operation. £47 million between 2009-2016. Exposed through GCHQ intercepts shared with NSA on March 14, 2026.
CATEGORY C: The connection. Starmer's office communicated DIRECTLY with individuals in Epstein's network. Two names appear in BOTH the UK grooming files AND the Epstein flight logs. Those names have NOT been made public yet.
Starmer wasn't given a choice. He was given 48 HOURS.
Resign — or face criminal prosecution under the new Modern Slavery Act amendments passed in April 2026. He chose to run.
But running won't save him.
Elon Musk posted it publicly: "Politicians who turned a blind eye must go to PRISON." He wasn't speaking hypothetically. He was speaking from INTELLIGENCE he's been shown.
This is not just about the UK. This is about a GLOBAL NETWORK being dismantled piece by piece. Starmer is the first HEAD OF STATE to fall.
He will NOT be the last.
The next 30 days will produce more resignations than the last 30 years.
I don’t support Keir Starmer especially on his stance on Israel/Palestine, yet I have been surprised at his level of unpopularity relative to other recent PM’s like Boris/Truss.
But Owen makes a great point- his government doesn’t deserve much credit for things like scrapping 2 child benefit, recognition of Palestinian state etc, they were dragged into these positions unwillingly.
Interesting points of view @ Mehdi Hassan @Owen Jones; I look forward to hearing more. Thank you very much for Zeteo UK. May independent media in the UK grow and prosper.
Owen Jones supported Starmer because he was, and is, a guardian journalist and he pushed the guardian’s left wing cover whilst pushing the establishment line.
Gaza was what ended it for me, changing the law for peaceful protest
Gaza is what did it. We must pursue them to the gates of hell to punish them. Throw Israel out of the UN...
Any truth in this guys?:

Chris Mason just posted an article on the downfall of the PM, again totally ignoring the Israel/Palestine issue
