OPINION: The sooner Starmer is removed by these Labour MPs, the better

This Starmer Government is the most left-wing administration since James Callaghan led the country in the late 1970s. Its craven acquiescence to the demands of trade unions was perfectly demonstrated by the former Secretary of State for Transport Ms Louise Haigh in her brief tenure of office.

Before she even had time to get comfortable behind her ministerial desk, she accepted all the demands train unions were making of the new government. I am deeply disturbed that we now live in a country where a Tube driver earns on average £68,000 per annum, which is 159 per cent higher than the national average.

How sustainable is it for the public purse to be paying these people such an incredible amount of money when we have nurses and care workers struggling to pay their bills?



At a time when we continue to have very tight and stretched national budgets due to the Pandemic blowing a £600billion hole in public finances to have caved in so quickly to trade unions is a clear sign that these socialists will never bite the hand that feeds them.

The party will continue to pour money into public sector workers at a time when it is unaffordable for the state, and the hard-working taxpayers and business owners who always have to foot the bill for Labour’s largesse provide the bulk of funding for the Labour Party, who have almost zero understanding of just how difficult it already is for British companies to compete internationally, given the already extremely high wage costs that British companies must pay in comparison with their international competitors.

Under the previous Conservative Government, in a post-Brexit context, we moved from being the world's seventh-largest exporter to becoming the fourth.

A remarkable and essential aspect of trying to secure the hard currency so vital to paying the massive demands which any Western liberal European country now faces from the public every year. Of course, during the election debates, none of this was aired nor debated as the BBC likes to ignore the major macroeconomic strategic achievements of our nation and their long-term consequences and always focuses on individuals' problems and demands rather than focusing on how these are to be paid for.

We have already seen how Labour is prepared to cripple businesses and wealth creators to satisfy the demands of their paymasters. We have already seen the impact these extra taxes have had on dampening economic growth and reducing investment from the private sector and, thus, the number of people who are employed and their salaries in the private sector. We take around 30 per cent of all taxes collected from the top one per cent and these people make an extraordinary contribution to our economy and well-being as a nation. We are now experiencing, because of Labour, a massive flight of these people overseas. They can easily find countries where taxes are a fraction of what they are in socialist Britain. One reason of course is that most countries around the world do not have annual welfare payments of over £260billion.
As this flight of our wealth creators accelerates under Labour, we will find the burden on taxation falls more and more on middle-class, hard-working people who earn between 60K and 100K and ultimately, the burden will start to fall on those earning even less. The policies of Labour are not only counterintuitive but will also lead to falling living standards and falling income for hard-working families.

The sooner Starmer is removed by these Labour MPs, the better. His lack of leadership skills is allowing the trade unions, which I consider to be one of the most malign operators in our country, to wreak the sort of damage they last managed to do in the late 70s, and we simply cannot afford to allow this to happen again.
