I think Sir Keir Starmer has some brass neck doing this.
It’s his Government that is now prosecuting elderly veterans dragging them through the courts and ruining their lives. It’s his Government that is housing illegal immigrants in military barracks.
It’s his Government that has a Veterans Minister who doesn’t even know how many homeless veterans there are.
A Minister was asked on LBC how many veterans sleep rough on our streets each night as we approach Christmas.

It is also Sir Keir Starmer’s Government that cannot rule out having former members of the IRA sitting on their Legacy Commission, the body designed to investigate unexplained deaths during the Troubles.
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?
It’s his Attorney General who represented Gerry Adams, who was being sued for damages by victims of three IRA bomb attacks.
Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, couldn’t even spell Remembrance Day correctly in a social media post about it.
A Labour councillor in Upton even wanted to cancel a Remembrance Sunday ceremony, held every year since the First World War, over health and safety fears.
It was expected to be a disaster, but instead turned out to be the biggest parade there in 25 years.
Keir Starmer laying a wreath

Is it any wonder that when Sir Keir Starmer laid his wreath at the Cenotaph, there were murmurs of disgust and even a loud boo from within the veterans’ group near me at the ceremony?
Just look at how the Associate Editor of The Independent reacted to my social media post about that. “Boos? Well, it was their side that lost, after all,” he said.
When I asked if he was calling veterans Nazis, he backtracked: “Oh no, of course not — I assumed it came from others.”
And of course, it’s not just Labour. The new Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, wore a white poppy as well as a red one. The SNP’s Mhairi Black laid a wreath at the Cenotaph that appeared to carry only her party’s logo, rather than a message to veterans.
Yesterday, Labour MP Ayub Khan — a pro-Gaza politician — made a great show of laying wreaths, then attended an event seemingly geared towards the Muslim community, where fellow pro-Gaza MP Iqbal Mohammed spoke about “taking over” the West Midlands.
I couldn’t see many poppies in that audience.
When you add all that together, it’s no wonder that 100-year-old veteran Alec Paxton said “I can see rows and rows of white stones, all the hundreds of my friends and everyone else who gave their lives. For what?
“The country of today? No, I’m sorry. The sacrifice wasn’t worth the result we have now.”
