Historian David Starkey has launched a scathing critique of the Labour Government, describing it as a body "divided against itself" with fundamental internal contradictions.
Speaking to GB News, Starkey argued that Sir Keir Starmer's administration was "elected not to be popular".
"We have a democratic politics in which democratic politics is supposed to be rather disgraceful," he said.
Starkey pointed to what he sees as the Government's paradoxical approach to the economy. "It recognises it can only survive by growth, but equally it is committed to doing everything it can to stop growth," he stated.

Starkey reserved particular criticism for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, questioning her credentials.
"Why is there that business of faking her career? Why the constant insistence that she is an economist and a serious thinker?" he asked.
"It turned out like everything else that she's ever done, it was plagiarised," he alleged.
Starkey expressed hope that Labour's failures might ultimately "blow apart the whole rotten structure" of governance.

POOL"This is not Government of the people, by the people, for the people," he declared.
He added: "Starmer represents Government of the blob, by the blob, for the blob. And when it fails, it will be the blob that failed, not Britain. But the thing that I fear is that it might actually bring down Britain with the blob."
Starkey expressed particular concern about potential consequences. "The thing that I fear is that it might actually bring down Britain with the blob," he warned.
Starkey claimed Labour's contradictions would ultimately "wreck" their Government.

"Its policies are mutually contradictory, and they're contradictory politically," he explained.
He added that these policies are "deeply unpopular at the time that obviously it requires re-election".
Starkey highlighted contradictions between domestic and foreign policy. "You've got to have a growing economy to maintain a serious military," he argued.
He claimed the government is "supporting aggressive, militarised and masculinised patriotism in the Ukraine" while "suppressing it in Britain".
The historian suggested Labour's large majority has created additional challenges. "It now has an awful lot of Leftish MPs in Parliament," he noted.
