Last week was very interesting. Three Tory seats came up for a by-election and it gave both the Liberal Democrats and Labour something to shout about, and it gave the Tories something to think about.
Though looking at the headlines and the commentary from the Labour group, one would think Keir was already elected as the Prime Minister and in Number 10. Life is of course not that simple. Wishful thinking is one thing, getting across that line at a general election is quite another.
You have to congratulate Keir of course for steering his party to this significant win. As they say, no one cares how you get there, as long as you win. And therein we have the answer for both Labour and the Tories. For the past several years Labour have promised everything to everyone. They have put forward policies to tax, and more tax. They will tax the rich, they will impose more taxes on companies and if that is not enough, they will tax them again for daring to be too successful. Again, it’s a clear policy, Labour will tax most people and companies to their death, and then give that money away to all those people who want to sit on their backside and do nothing.
Keir has hidden the real intent of Labour from the voters quite well. I have it from insiders that he may well be considering getting us back in Europe, allowing EHRC even more power in British law, giving the Unions the freedom to hold the nation to hostage, removing the recent immigration legislation (that stops illegals) so more illegals can come to the UK freely, removing provisions from the Public Order Act 2023 so hooligans like Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, Climate change protestors, and Just Stop Oil are all allowedto make our lives a misery, and the list goes on and on.
I have even heard that there are some in Labour who are intent in spreading London like ULEZ zones right across the nation. Angela Rayner admitted that the discreditedultra-low emission zone tax "is coming to towns and cities across the whole of the UK". So almost every single Labour voting hotspot will become a target to this mad scheme to tax and make people poorer. Think about it, only people with money to pay the tax can drive into these areas, meaning this policy is designed to keep the poor out. Now that’s one in the eye for the traditional Labour voter! Interestingly on 10th July Conservative Councillors in Brent staged a walk out because the Labour majority would not allow for a discussion on ULEZ.Soon this issue the Tories are on the side of the ordinary citizen.
Keir and Labour are well ahead in the polls, and they are winning by-elections. No party has ever lost a General Election having been so far ahead, apart from 1992 when Neil Kinnock who in a similar fashion to Keir Starmer, paraded across the nation attending events almost as if he was the President elect, and then lost to John Major. Can history repeat itself? Time will tell.
The Tories of course are their own worst enemy. Over the past three years, it seems they have taken a delight in shooting off one toe at a time, until they have shot off the entire foot. Their masochistic instinct and capacity to impose self-inflicted wounds never seemsto end. The next six months will be a political helter-skelter. I see the Tories coming out fighting. They will set forth policies that will put clear water between them and Labour. Keir will be forced to go down an unwanted route or remain silent and face ridicule. Whilst Tories will have to go back to basics, I believe danger remains for Labourwho might also put their foot in. The red wall voters at some point will look at Labour and ask why it keeps flirting with extremists. After all, do you want the next British Government to have on its front bench ministers who are supporters of extremists? Or MPs who excuse away antisemitism and anti-Hindu sentiments? Or MPsrefusing to denounce the Pakistani grooming gangs rampaging right across the nation?
Last week I mentioned that Keir has a plan to pack the House of Lords with his cronies. Since then, I have heard from sources, upto 15 peerages might be reserved for the faithful from the Muslim community. I bet those 26 Christian bishops can’t wait to welcome their new Abrahamic comrades.In 2024, if the nation elects the wrong party, that will be 5 years of hell during which time we will become a basket case. So do your research now, observe and monitor who says what and when, and ultimatelyask one simple question, ‘do you want a front bench that promotes woke ideology at the expense of the nation?’
