    Keir Starmer – 2021 Comments on Boris Johnson and Coal Mine Statement

    The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition, on 6 August 2021.

    The Prime Minister has shown his true colours yet again.

    For Boris Johnson to laugh when talking about the closure of the coal mines is a slap in the face for communities still suffering from the devastating effects of Margaret Thatcher’s callous actions.

    I’m proud to have always stood with our coalfield communities. I represented the miners in court as the Tories tried to close the pits. These communities contributed so much to the success of our country, and then were abandoned.

    The Tories didn’t care then, and they don’t care now.

    For Boris Johnson to treat the pain and suffering caused to our coalfield communities as a punchline shows just how out of touch with working people he is.

    The Prime Minister must apologise immediately.

    Led By Donkeys – 2021 Statement on Sainsbury’s Pulling Advertising on GB News

    The statement made by Led By Donkeys on 6 August 2021.

    Just got word that Sainsburys has pulled its advertising from GB News and Nigel Farage’s show. Amazing job everyone. After a couple of billboards, an advance at their HQ, more than 2.5 million views on films, and escalating pressure, Sainsbury’s did the right thing. Huge thanks to everyone who contacted Sainsburys, to the volunteers at Stop Funding Hate who’ve been monitoring the channel and to the staff at the supermarket as well for pushing for this change.
