There’s trouble in paradise folks.
The Express report that a civil war is breaking out within the Labour Party over Ed Miliband’s green revolution and its eye watering cos, of £28 billion pounds a year.
Meanwhile, there are tensions over Starmer’s Israel stance, trans rights and Labour’s increasing caution in relation to public spending.
Get used to this.
GB NEWS
A Labour government is coming. That's fine. But it's my duty to tell you what to expect.
Stifling political correctness, also called wokery, will reach new height in the hands of a prime minister that's unwilling to define what a woman is, and takes the knee to the latest divisive woke cause.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
Strikes we’ve suffered will get worse given it's the union barons who bankroll the Labour Party.
Borrowing, and the national debt, likely won't fall because the public sector will expect a cash bonanza when Labour get in, because those working IN it, are Labour’s electoral constituency.
Taxes won't go down to any significant extent, because Labour don't really believe in low taxes and like to mischaracterise low taxes as “trickle down economics”.
In fact, given that the country is so broke, taxes will probably go up to fund Labour’s policy ambitions.
More spending and generous pay rises, mean that inflation, currently receding, returns as a threat.
And don't tell me that Brexit is safe in the hands of a man that campaigned for a second referendum.
No government is perfect and the Tories have had an intermittently disastrous 14 years in power.
Apart from getting Brexit done, I thought Boris was terrible.
Liz Truss was well meaning, but another disaster. She didn’t do her homework.
It's my unfashionable view that Sunak has steadied the ship and his underrated Windsor Framework agreement has ended problems around the flow of goods between mainland Britain and Northern Ireland and the return of power sharing in Northern Ireland this week is almost exclusively down to him.
But running the country competently, quietly, bookishly - may not be enough.
And running the country is my greatest concern, should Labour prevail.
Now to be positive about Starmer, he's not an extremist, like Jeremy Corbyn, and the news Labour will at least not increase corporation tax and will not bring back a cap on bankers bonuses means they are serious about growing the economy.
Yes, banker’s bonuses are hard to justify ethically, but the reality is that wealthy, successful people, generate national income and pay huge amounts of tax which pays for the public services, to which Labour is apparently committed.
Labour’s noticeable shift to the right in recent days including the decision, to distance themselve, from the aforementioned idea of borrowing £28 billion a year to bet the house on flaky renewables will be reassuring to more conservative minded voters – the kind of people Tony Blair won over in 1997.
But Tony Blair, Keir Starmer is not. And Starmer's Labour is a lot redder than New Labour's light blue.
Mark Dolan says Liz Truss was well meaning
GB NewsDuring magic grandpa Jeremy Corbyn’s disastrous stint, leading this once great party, the whole movement, was infiltrated by hard left activists.
The Labour backbenches were cleansed of moderate centrists.
So who's to say - figures like John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Rebecca Long Bailey and others won't re-appear, should Labour ONLY win a slim majority. And hold the balance of power - yikes.
Love or hate Sir Keir’s policy agenda, it will likely never happen if these rebellious back benchers have their way.
Sunak is set to face off against Starmer
PAIf he gets 100 seats, no problem. But a MAJORITY of 10, 20, 30, and I believe that this Labour Party in government is ungovernable.
Starmer will be doing deals in smoke-filled rooms – vape smoke – for the whole of his premiership.
Which means chaos for the country, and a shift leftwards politically.
may God help us. A handful of MPs will be able to lean on Starmer to borrow more money, spend more money, and ditch business-friendly policies, for which this week they have rightly won plaudits.
If Labour was led by a strong principled figure, that might help.
Tony Blair demonstrated a colossal, political will, and no small amount of courage to modernise the Labour party and win power, three times over.
I don't think you'll get that from the cervix free leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer, who in my view, is nothing more than a political algorithm – a human manifestation of chat GPT software gone wrong.
And if there's a hung parliament with Labour as the biggest party – it’s game over for ALL of us.
Every bit of legislation will need the approval of fringe figures like Diane Abbott.
Let's hope she brings her calculator. The Tories have been a disaster in recent years – I'll give you that. I like Sunak, but the party, not so much.
So perhaps it's time for a change. My fear is, it's a change for the worse.
