RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: This revolting campaign proves shameless chancer Starmer is happy to drag politics into the sewer
Keir Starmer is a sadistic paedophile who kills babies and eats them for breakfast. I’m Richard Littlejohn and I approve this message.
Before Labour starts reaching for Mr Rumpole — or in their case, one of m’learned friends at Nonces’R’Us, the celebrated Left-wing yuman rites chambers founded by Cherie Blair and others — let me make it absolutely clear that none of the above is remotely true.
But that’s exactly the kind of prime-time political message you see during the commercial breaks on American television in the run-up to elections.
Most of them are paid for by so-called PACs — allegedly independent Political Action Committees — and often endorsed by the candidates themselves, while giving them a certain deniability.
It’s a way of getting round campaign funding limits — the very laws the Democrats are currently using in their increasingly deranged attempts to nail Donald Trump.
The party’s latest series of attack ads claim that Rishi Sunak doesn’t believe adults who sexually abuse children should be sent to prison
Sadly, Labour has now decided that lying through their teeth is the best way back to power
They’ve even got a name for it, ‘swift-boating’, after Republican-sympathising Vietnam veterans were wheeled out to trash John Kerry’s war record, as a naval officer in the Mekong Delta, during his presidential defeat by George W. Bush.
Turned out, none of the allegations had any basis in truth. But they undoubtedly helped the Bush campaign, which resulted in a bitterly contested, narrow victory eventually settled in court.
Back then, 20-odd years ago, we consoled ourselves that it couldn’t happen here.
That was, of course, before public trust in politicians was comprehensively undermined by the dodgy dossier downloaded off the internet by Labour’s then resident nutter-on-the-bus Alastair Campbell, which persuaded the Commons to take us into an illegal war in Iraq.
Sadly, Labour has now decided that lying through their teeth is the best way back to power.
The party’s latest attack ad claims that Rishi Sunak doesn’t believe adults who sexually abuse children should be sent to prison.
It’s straight from the New Labour songbook and doesn’t surprise me in the slightest since it’s now reported that the odious slimeball Peter Mandelson is back in the fold giving Starmer PR advice.
Far from distancing himself from this appalling calumny, Starmer has given it the full ‘thumbs up, three sombreros’ treatment. Writing in yesterday’s Daily Mail, he offered ‘zero apologies’ for his disgraceful smear campaign against the Prime Minister.

Starmer is desperate to portray the Tories as soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime. He’s got a point, to be fair. But whose fault’s that?
And just in case the usual swivel-eyed Guardianista conspiracy theorists think we made it up, Starmer’s article was offered to the Mail by Labour’s spin doctors.
They obviously wanted it to receive the widest possible attention, which is why they beat a path to the door of Britain’s best-selling newspaper. It would have been rude not to run it.
Starmer is desperate to portray the Tories as soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime. He’s got a point, to be fair. But whose fault’s that?
The legal establishment, the police, the courts have all been colonised by the yuman rites brigade, of which Starmer is one of the most prominent luminaries.
Ever since Tony Blair incorporated pernicious European ‘human rights’ legislation into British law — his self-proclaimed ‘proudest act in politics’ — the very concept of right or wrong, of falsehood and truth, has been comprehensively defenestrated.
As some of us predicted at the time, it has proven to be a charter for terrorists, murderers, sex offenders, drugs barons, people smugglers and illegal migrants, to name but a few serial miscreants. Starmer’s old chambers, Doughty Street, have been among the prime beneficiaries of the money-spinning bonanza that followed.
His enthusiastic embrace of Labour’s yuman rites racket catapulted Starmer to the giddy heights of becoming Director of Public Prosecutions — an office he distinguished by vindictively persecuting innocent journalists to the delight of an aggrieved Gordon Brown, after Rupert Murdoch withdrew his love, and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile.
Starmer’s excuse for not nicking that well-known novelty northern nonce was that he wasn’t the lead officer on the case.
Which is a bit like the manager of a Premier League side claiming that losing away in the cup to a second-string, second division team was all down to the players and nothing to do with the way he set them up. Frankly, it doesn’t wash.
The allegations against Dishy Rishi are especially scandalous, even though there is sufficient credibility to the claim that the Tories have failed to overturn the ‘liberal’ consensus on crime in the 13 years they’ve been in power. For a start, Sunak wasn’t even in the Cabinet until 2019 and he’s never had any ministerial involvement until now in the criminal justice system.
Yet Starmer is trying to blame him for the failure to send convicted sex offenders to jail — despite the fact that, as DPP, Starmer himself sat on the committee that drew up the sentencing guidelines.
I’m not a lawyer, thank goodness, but I’m pretty sure Sunak would have a prima facie case for libel. Not that he should pursue legal redress. That’s always a fool’s errand. And he certainly doesn’t need the money. To be honest, he doesn’t even have to rise to the bait. Starmer is doing a pretty good job of committing hara-kiri, and could be on track for spectacularly seizing electoral defeat from the jaws of victory — blowing the kind of lead which cost Rory McIlroy the 2013 Masters.
Yesterday, having set the hare running, Starmer went missing in action, sending that other yuman rites brief Lady Nugee out on to the BBC Today programme to defend the indefensible.
She didn’t disapppoint. Her interview with Justin Webb was characterised by all the pompous, entitled, Islingtonian bluff-and-bluster which so endears her to White Van Man. Webb ripped her to pieces.
Nugee, aka Emily Thornberry, was unrepentant. So, too, is Starmer, if you believe what one Labour source is reported to have said. Going into full Bachman-Turner Overdrive, this alleged ‘insider’ boasted: ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet.’

B-b-b-baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
So, presumably, we can look forward to the grubbiest British election ever, as Labour doubles down on dishing the dirt on Dishy Rishi. Starmer should be careful what he wishes for, particularly when he tries to smear Sunak as soft on crime. Starmer himself is the original Mr Softee — he’s even got the same haircut as the legendary ice cream vendor.
Let’s not forget that Starmer is the man who shamefully sent Nonce-Finder General Tom Watson to the Lords. Watson, you will recall, is the ex-Labour deputy leader who enabled a sex offender called ‘Nick’ to falsely accuse blameless men of the most heinous crimes, including the rape and murder of children.
Watson was desperate to prove that a sinister, secret paedophile ring operated right at the heart of the Conservative establishment, dating back to Mrs Thatcher’s time in No 10 and beyond.
Yet Starmer now believes that this appalling stain on the body politic is a fit and proper person to grace the benches of the Upper Chamber and influence policies which impact our daily lives.
Not only that — and apart from campaigning to make anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister, while sitting silently in his Shadow Cabinet — Starmer has apparently taken his lead from Watson by attempting to smear Rishi Sunak as a ‘friend of the paedophile’.
So repellant is this line of attack, it has been condemned by Labour figures across a broad spectrum, from former Home Secretary David Blunkett in this newspaper, to current Shadow Home Sec Pixie Balls-Cooper and even Corbyn’s ultra-Left sidekick John McDonnell.
Starmer may not be a sadistic child abuser who kills babies and eats them for breakfast. But, as this revolting campaign of denigration and vile innuendo against Sunak confirms, he is a desperate, shameless chancer, running scared, happy to drag British politics into the sewer, and utterly unfit for the highest office in the land.
