Keir Starmer to be wiped out – this lunatic will boss Britain instead | Personal Finance | Finance
Labour is heading towards electoral annihilation in May. This will be far more than the usual mid-term punishment beating, where voters vent their frustrations on the incumbent government. The party’s candidates won’t just be hammered in councils across the country. They’ll be wiped out in elections to the Scottish and Welsh parliaments too. Labour could even lose power in Wales for the first time this millennium, as Plaid Cymru and Nigel Farage’s Reform hoover up the vote. The results will briefly unite the nation, as we glory in Starmer’s political slaughter.
The PM is useless and unfit for power. Weirdly, he seems to believe he’s doing a terrific job and has no plans to step down. But here’s an even stranger thing. He could survive the upcoming drubbing. Labour MPs may take one look at Angela Rayner, and an even shorter one at Ed Miliband, and decide to stick with the devil they know. Even if Starmer remains in office, he will be powerless, a puppet PM. So who’ll be yanking his strings?
Nigel Farage looks set to be a big winner from the elections, but he won’t be the biggest winner. That role is reserved for the Green Party’s Zack Polanski. He’s the man who terrifies Labour MPs right now. The Greens are coming for Labour in its electoral heartlands, and the party’s panicking MPs will pile pressure on Starmer to respond by shifting Labour even further to the left.
You might think Labour couldn’t move any further in the direction. It’s driven taxes, public spending and welfare costs to all-time highs, while pursuing net zero at breakneck speed and reviving union power. Yet on the left they think Starmer is too right-wing. And compared to Zack Polanski, he is. But that’s not a very good benchmark.
The notorious breast whisperer has hypnotised lefties everywhere, by offering them a fantasy package of reforms. Open borders, wealth taxes, legalising drugs, doubling down on net zero, trans self-ID rights and banning horse racing would tear the UK apart. Green rule would unleash dark Islamist forces and drive out the nation’s Jews.
At a critical time in our nation’s history, the left is descending into collective madness. Polanski plans to face down the threat from Russia, China and Iran by cutting defence spending and scrapping nuclear weapons.
Instead, he’s promising “to build a relationship with President Putin and urge him to give up nuclear weapons”. On the left, they’re swallowing this garbage. And Labour will have to go fishing for votes in the same leftie swamp.
So expect more tax, more spending, more dithering over defence, and a total watering down of Shabana Mahmood’s immigration reforms. Anything to appease the Green-addled left. It won’t work though. Labour can only do so much before the bond market calls time and triggers a financial crisis.
Polanski doesn’t have to worry about the bond market. He can just say what he likes. He’s a weapons-grade nutter, high on his own supply of self-regard, and will keep pushing to the extremes.
Labour will meekly follow but it won’t save Starmer. He might just be the last Labour PM ever. While that’s a happy thought, what follows may be too terrifying for words.
