A TalkTV guest launched a brutal rant at the Prime Minister after his historic decision to recognise Palestinian statehood
Rupert Lowe says Keir Starmer and Labour have ‘fixation’
Keir Starmer was brutally criticised on TalkTV by Rupert Lowe after he announced on Sunday that the UK would formally recognise the State of Palestine. The UK is joining more than 150 countries in a move intended to preserve prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. On TalkTV, Rupert Lowe MP waded in on the Prime Minister and delivered a scathing verdict. He argued to Kevin O’Sullivan: “I honestly know that Starmer and the Labour Party have this fixation with Islam. Labour relies on these Islamic votes. […] Starmer is a Pabloist human rights lawyer who is completely unfit to run the country. He is a member of the most communist arm of one of these societies.”
One viewer at home agreed and said in the comments section: “Sir Keir Starmer‘s resignation is long overdue, he’s not fit to govern our great country.”

Since the announcement that Britain would recognise Palestinian statehood, Hamas has declared victory for “the justice of our cause”.
The Prime Minister has argued the decision was necessary to “keep alive” the possibility of a two-state solution, and insisted the “brutal terror organisation” Hamas would play “no role” in any Palestinian government. Conservatives have claimed the move was meant to please Labour MPs and voters.
However, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated: “I have a clear message to leaders who are recognising a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre – you are rewarding terror with an enormous prize.
“And I have another message for you – it’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River.”
Other nations such as Belgium, France, and Portugal are expected to recognise Palestinian statehood at the summit this week, as Australia and Canada already did alongside the UK last Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Amir Ohana, speaker of the Knesset, Israel‘s parliament, described Sir Keir a “modern-day appeaser who chose dishonour.”
