      > Downing Street has dismissed viral social media rumors claiming that Sir Keir Starmer, Labour Party leader and former human rights lawyer, represented the father of Southport stabbing suspect Axel Rudakubana in a 2003 asylum case.

      Even if he had, so what? Do people not understand what lawyers do? How would it have anything to do with vile attack 20 years later?

      It’s actually disgusting how on platforms like X, we have people using the Southport incident for their political purposes such as lying that Starmer was the lawyer representing Axel’s father. It was debunked because Starmer represented another client in 2003 who was Rwandan.

      I understand you hate Starmer. But the amount of rumours that platform created about him such as “having another child by cheating on his wife, secretly gay, two tier Keir, super injunction and now representing the father of the Southport killer in 2003…” sick and tired of how lies have become so normalised

      Its probably all over facebook already, like that lie about him protecting Jimmy Saville.

    4. Secure_Ticket8057 on

      Yeah but the job has been done.

      It’s like the Saville stuff – a load of useful idiots amplify it by rapidly sharing it through social media (normally accompanied by ‘dO yOuR oWn rEaSeArH, sHeEpLe!” or similar by people who wouldn’t know what a peer review was if it hit them round the back of their thick f**king heads) and by the time it is inevitably shown to be absolute rubbish it’s too late because it’s already out there.

      It’s also telling that when Johnson was in trouble with Partygate he couldn’t lawyer up enough (on our expense, obviously), despite his consistent railing against ‘left lawyers’ etc.

      The legal system isn’t for you, peasants!

      Methinks it didn’t need to be debunked. Only conspiracy theorists, earth flatters, and reform ltd voters would have fallen for that nonsense shared on X.

      Friend of mine posted the misinformation in a group chat when it was circulating, with the message “Although no way to confirm this is true or not”, I was able to debunk it in 5 minutes…

    7. Super_Bright on

      Who’d have thought that the people who’ve been pushing disinformation about the Southport tragedy ever since it happened would have done it again?

    8. InMyLiverpoolHome on

      The people spreading this nonsense on social media should face repercussions the same way a newspaper would do if it printed the lies.

      The law is still woefully unequipped for dealing with far right misinformation campaigns

      Just waiting for the insanity plea to go into court to ensure no real, factual evidence sees the light of day.

      That’ll be the next step in all of this with heavy restrictions on what can and can’t be released in the media.

      Even if this was true, it would be so fucking tenuous to be laughable.

    11. teknotel on

      There was some weapons grade moron posting the fake news tweet on a facebook group, was absolutely gleeful as hes been mind controlled into despising Keir Starmer through tweets like this.

      I looked at it and was ridiculous, it had a download link to a word document about a genocide trial that took place in Rwanda….

      Then, it used a screenshot from a completely different case which Starmer was involved in, but no other info at all, turns out it was a case where he represented a Rwandan women.

      They then had an image of Chatgpt answering when someone asked who is the alphonse rudakubana, was completely faked as if you ask it the same question it said nothing of the sort, was barely coherent was like:

      He was involved in serious criminal matters…… or something stupid like this.

      Every comment was like “and they called us traitors for not voting for him’ and ‘he should resign now’.

      I even wrote a comment detailing how it was completely fake and explained it, and still every comment was about how terrible he is lol.

      Its utterly hopeless. I have no idea how to go about combatting this without restricting peoples freedom.

    12. KeremyJyles on

      I never believed it but the fact I wouldn’t be shocked if it later turned out to be true is entirely down to the government, cps and police and their history of dishonesty.

    14. Jj-woodsy on

      X/Twitter is going to result in someone attacking Starmer soon, with all these lies that are being spread.

      Fuck Farage, Musk and all their ilk for this.

    15. GallifreyFallsOver on

      I never thought this rumour was true because as other commenters have said “so what?”. This was supposed to be the answer to the whole “what’s the big bombshell information that they’re apparently not releasing” debate, which to me would have to be something way bigger than Keir Starmer representing a specific client. With the hype around the reported “cover up” I’m expecting it to at least be something like “the government knew of the attack in advance and intentionally let the children be killed”.

    16. Amazing_Battle3777 on

      Having looked at the information / conspiracy stuff and the files online I’m not sure how many people didn’t see the glaring holes – it’s frankly laughable.

      However, I believe where the scandal actually is coming from – is surrounding the case itself. There’s a good chance information will be released once the bad character evidence is presented at the next hearing on the 12th December. I believe newspapers and journalists will be able to publish some info once this has happened.

      Logically, this is most likely what certain people have commented on recently but through respecting rule of law have not said much, the conspiracy lovers have run wild with it.

    17. sparkymark75 on

      Musk said he wanted X to be the worlds town square. Instead its turned into the courtyard of the lunatic asylum!

    18. After-Dentist-2480 on

      Some people are so desperate to try to derail this trial by pretending there is a cover up, and this lie from a far-right source (to be fair also denied by at least one prominent far-right commentator) is a further example.

      Why do people think they have a right to any information on this live case before a trial?

    19. Moist-Razzmatazz-92 on

      People wouldn’t even be surprised if it was true at this point. That man is corrupt down to the core.

    20. I_ALWAYS_UPVOTE_CATS on

      Isn’t this *insanely* easy to debunk? It would be public record who the guy’s lawyer was.

      The ‘share’ button on social media sites should activate a pop-up that says “is this content based in reality?”, with a 30s countdown before you’re allowed to proceed with sharing it.
