Labour's support is collapsing as Starmer leads the country to the brink - Daniel Kawczynski

This week we have seen Labour support collapsing yet further and now in one opinion poll the party is polling third behind Conservatives and Reform.
No matter how many resets Keir Starmer attempts to have to distract from his government failings the basic and unquestionable facts remains.
How do you grow the economy of a major industrialised nation to a degree that people start to feel better and more optimistic? How do you get businesses to start investing in new technology and investing in hiring more people?
And lastly, how do you manage the nation's debt in a sustainable way to ensure that is coming down whilst we are not experiencing a major crisis like Covid?
Starmer has none of the answers. His default position, as we have already seen in the Budget and other measures, is to cave in to the malign control and demands of trade unions.
Yes, this country took a massive hit because of the pandemic and yes that resulted in a terrible economic situation which we are only now starting to get through.
By increasing taxes on businesses to give more money to trade unions and unreformed and inefficient public services, Starmer has poured gallons of water onto the small spark of economic recovery we started to see towards the end of the last Parliament.
Daniel Kawczynski was the MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham
PAWe are seeing cyclical global disasters threatening our nation with alarming frequency.
During my time as a Member of Parliament, we experienced three such catastrophises: the 2008 Banking crisis where we had to borrow hundreds of billions to bail our banks, the pandemic where we borrowed hundreds of billions to give to businesses and millions of Britons to keep them going at a time of lockdown, and more recently the energy crisis triggered by the invasion of Ukraine.
The last saw massive hikes in energy bills for millions and the government had again to borrow a great deal of money to support millions of vulnerable households.
You can guarantee that over the next decade we will see another global crisis which will require massive government financial intervention.
And here is where Starmer is making his mistake. He should be gently reducing taxation for business and wealth creators to make Britain prime for investment from both domestic and foreign individuals.
Instead, he is making Britain uncompetitive, and we are already starting to see a flight of both capital and entrepreneurs away from our nation.
LATEST MEMBERSHIP OPINION:
This dimension will continue with Starmer’s left wing policies. Britain as a result may end up close to the situation that France is now facing.
Government’s there have not had the courage to stand up to Trade unions and continued to borrow massive amounts of money to satisfy the demands of the growing public sector.
In a week where we have seen the collapse of the French government and major financial instability in Paris, this is the situation that Starmer is leading us to.
