Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper are accused of not being patriotic and of exhibiting callousness toward the public. The government faces criticism for hypocrisy on freedom of expression amid claims of attacks on free speech. Allegations include two-tier and weaponised policing and the Home Office labeling people criminals before conviction. The government is accused of policies harming farmers and eroding privacy, and of prioritising international forums over Westminster. A Labour MP defended the government by highlighting patriotic flag imagery on membership cards and election materials and by noting Starmer's public service and support for flags.
He slammed the government over their hypocrisy regarding the freedom of expression despite the UK supposedly having a "rich tradition of free speech." Miller said, "I can see that when our Prime Minister says we have a rich tradition of free speech, which we do in Britain, which our flag embodies and yet we have seen an attack on our free speech." He continued, "We've seen two-tier policing, a weaponising of our policing, we've seen our Home Office call people criminals before they are actually convicted."
He slammed the government over their agricultural policies and their surveillance saying Starmer's government are guilty of launching "attacks on our farmers who do fly the flag on food security" along with an "assault on the very notion of privacy. He added, "The Prime Minister even says he prefers Davos to Westminster, our democratic heartbeat." Labour MP Connor Naismith, who was alongside Miller defended the government against Miller's criticism.
Naismith told GB News, "We've heard a lot of gripes," he added it was "difficult to know where to start Naismith tried to defend Starmer saying he "is the leader who put a flag on the membership card." He added that the "Election addresses all went out with the flag proudly there." He said that Starmer spent much of his career serving the public.
