Lucy Powell has quite rightly come under a storm of criticism following her rape gang remarks. The Manchester Central MP and senior minister clashed with Tim Montgomerie during a Radio 4 debate on Friday night as the Uniparty's humiliating election show was reaching its conclusion. Underlining how completely out of touch Labour is with ordinary people, Powell's sneering remarks at the very mention of the words 'rape gangs' were symptomatic of a party that abandoned white working class people a long time ago.
The full exchange can be heard below.
Starmer's decision to back and not sack Powell sums up the top-down treachery against our native people, which will only drive more and more people into the arms of the party to which Tim Montgomerie now belongs. Almost every action taken by Labour politicians appears to cement the demise of the two party trap.
Powell's empty apology was slow in coming and did not materialise for almost 24 hours, basically she left it until the scale of the pushback against her had become overwhelming.
When she says she has 'dealt' with cases, we expect that she has merely acknowledged victim's concerns via a generic letter. How many times has she raised these concerns on the floor of the Commons? How many victims has she met with? Her use of the word 'acting' can also be taken literally - it is only an 'act' when her comrades speak about the victims.
Powell's fake apology was greeted by a swathe of condemnation from prominent blue tick accounts on X.
We can only hope that Powell stays in government beyond this, because it will be yet another nail in Labour's coffin.
Gary Lineker seems strangely silent on this issue. He normally has so much to say, and never tires from giving us the benefit of his wisdom.
