  "textContent": "\n\n\nThe Labour Party have lost the room.\n\nOn Friday, we were warned about the dangers of the Unite the Kingdom rally by our Prime Minister at the moment, Sir Keir Starmer.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nRemember when he described the demonstration as an example of “what we're up against in the battle of our values”?\n\nThat’s not what I found when I went down on Saturday. In fact, I was more at risk of being hugged to death.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSo I'm a bit confused here. Sir Keir talks about sowing division, but as far as I can see, it's his speech right there that did exactly that.\n\nHe said: “The organisers, including convicted thugs and racists, are peddling hatred and division.”\n\nBut guess what? You were wrong. There's egg on your face.\n\nThere were only 43 arrests in a whole day. And that's for both protests, with police informing that they proceeded largely in the wake of that significant incident.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAnd actually, the pro-Palestine march was full of people chanting from the river to the sea, chanting Tommy Robinson should be shot in the neck like Charlie Kirk. Disgusting.\n\nCan you imagine if the United the Kingdom rally had any such equivalence?\n\nThat's why the people of this country are fed up with you all here. And that includes Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, who would both be prepared to overturn the democratic mandate of Brexit.\n\nDuring the FA Cup kick-off time, I should add. Great timing, Wes, I suspect.\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPerhaps he thought we wouldn't notice when he told us what he planned to do about Brexit.\n\n“The biggest economic opportunity we have is on our doorstep. We need a new special relationship with the EU because Britain's future lies with Europe and one day, one day back in the European Union,” the former Health Secretary said.\n\nAndy Burnham also expressed his wish to rejoin the EU, saying “long term there is a case for that”.\n\nWell, at least he realised that openly planning to undo Brexit whilst contesting a seat where people voted to leave by two-thirds and in a reform stronghold, was a bad idea. But we know that he wants to rejoin as well.\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThey are so out of touch that they would overturn the democratic mandate of Brexit.\n\nHow about you focus your efforts on protecting our borders?\n\nInstead, their rhetoric just reveals the contempt that this despicable government have for the British people.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
