Starmer has lost it! His priority isn't migrants, or economy - it's spiked drinks - time to move these clowns on - Kelvin MacKenzie

Not sure how it got through, but this morning up popped on my Twitter feed a post from Starmer who has spent the last couple of months travelling the world and wooing Xi while explaining to skint nations how we would be delighted to send billions there way if they see the first sign of rain.
His advisors at No.10 thought he had lost connection with the voters (he never had it) and it was time to get on X and explain how he would tackle a big worry for the Great British Public.
And what was that big worry? The answer, according to his personal tweet, was the spiking of drinks. He said he would ‘’reclaim the streets’ on the issue. Was that really our biggest worry?
NOT the fact the economy was crashing through the floor with major companies reporting in The Times they would actually cut jobs and investment to pay for the Budget increase in employer NI and minimum pay.
NOT the fact that migrants are still arriving by the thousand, costing us a fortune and causing social disharmony.
NOR the fact there are now record numbers of 16-24s young people neither in work or education. Over time that stat will come back to haunt our nation.
No, the big issue around at Starmer mansion is the spiking of drinks and that he was going to do something about it. He used the expression ‘’reclaim the streets’’.
Rubbish, you can’t take your phone out of your pocket in London – over 100,00 stolen in London last year, the highest in any European city- and Indian businessman have complained to Ministers they can’t wear their expensive watches in the capital for fear of being robbed.
If you want to reclaim the streets, sunshine, deal with those crimes first and then return to drink spiking.
The reality is that after only five months Starmer and his Cabinet have shown themselves to be completely out of touch with the lives of the people who voted mistakenly voted for them.
Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper are planning to tackle spiked drinks

Perhaps the biggest example came in a quite ludicrous Page One article in the Mail on Sunday (anymore like that and there won’t be a Mail on Sunday) by Starmer saying he was planning to cracking down on welfare benefits which cost us £137 billion a year and rising.
But he wanted to make clear that there would be no reference to shirkers and they would be treated with respect and dignity. Excuse me while a throw up.
I guarantee right now Starmer won’t knock one penny off the benefits bill.
Another cost. The only way to make this work is literally to cut benefits to the point where working is more attractive than starving or freezing to death. I have my doubts Starmer is up for that challenge.
Finally, now the young have worked out the first shout of ADHD gets you £300 a month to your bank account there’s nobody under 21 who is not claiming to have mental health issues.
In 2013 the cost of people claiming they were suffering from ADHD was £700,000. Today that figure is £292million. I say we can’t afford it. Labour says it’s not important.
What’s important is spiked drinks.
We have years of this unless that petition hits 50million. Then we can a proper discussion about moving these clowns on.
