"Four days after I challenged Starmer to his face about lying to party members, I receive this letter from Labour HQ terminating my membership. Shameless & vindictive. A party rotten to the core, that can’t tolerate being held to account by a 71-year-old. Even Stalin might’ve blushed.[1]

Discriminatory mourning
Two days after Queen Elizabeth II died, Audrey White tweeted:
Where’s the logic in this?
Football cancelled; the Diggers festival cancelled; Hackney Carnival cancelled; Strikes cancelled; TUC cancelled.
Yet cricket and rugby can go ahead.
Is it that people are so intimidated by the ruling class that these working class events are shut down?[2]
Antisemitism libel
In 2019, Audrey White was libelled as an antisemite in four articles by Lee Harpin published by the Jewish Chronicle and, following an adjudication by the Independent Press Standards Organisation, was awarded substantial damages against the newspaper.[3]

The failure of the mainstream media to cover the damning adjudication by the Independent Press Standards Organisation against the Jewish Chronicle for their lies against my constituency suggests a conspiracy to damage the Labour Party during an election.[4]
Confronting Starmer
On 25 July 2022, Audrey White welcomed Keir Starmer to Liverpool, telling him exactly what she thinks of his leadership of the Labour Party:
“I don’t know how you’ve got the nerve to come to this city, after you’ve been interviewed and doing columns for The Sun newspaper, after the way we as a city were abused and the Hillsborough victims were abused by that paper.
“Secondly, you lied to us about uniting the party. I’m still a Labour Party member and you’ve expelled and witch hunted in the most vicious way I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. And I’ve been a member of the Labour Party for a long, long time.
“You have absolutely said you had ten pledges, you were going to carry on the Corbyn legacy, and ever since you’ve done nothing but distance yourself from the ideas which tens of thousands of people joined the Labour Party to support.
“All you’ve done is feed into the Tory ideology of not supporting strikes, of carrying on with the privatisation of our health service. You're doing everything to feed into a Tory victory. We may as well have a Tory if we have a person like you who lies to the Party.
"You're dishonest and our health service is going down the pan. And you have a big responsibility for the working class people of this country."[5]
