Labour’s Hokey Kokey

Keir Starmer the far left leader of the band rewarded failure by changing people's jobs. According to many in the media this signifies a 'rightward' tilt. "Take your left foot out and put your right foot in and shake it all about". Some might be impressed, but the Socialist potpourri still stinks of greed, envy, spite and hatred of anything that could restore pride and industry to our country. Labour ministers speak in front of Union flags while silently intoning the lyrics of the Red Flag.

There has never been a government in history so quickly unpopular as this one. It's self righteous posturing exposed by tax dodging and property valuations. It's not surprising, Starmer, a rich man who after standing down as Director of Public Prosecutions wangled himself tax exemption. An act of parliament, "The Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013" Exempts him from paying tax on pensions savings over £1 million. Hypocrisy? Not to a Socialist who says 'working class' as a daily prayer before breakfast and repeats it ad nauseam to justify wrongdoing. A government whose lawyers state that the right of British citizens are inferior to those of illegal immigrants has little if any moral compass.

We have a government of people who have worked for trade unions or the Labour party. A government of almost zero real world experience. A government that cynically believes it can alter society, create the socialist state through dependency and no one will notice what its up to. Karl Marx's mother once remarked of her idle scrounging son "I wish Karl would stop writing about capital and go and make some". He didn't and there is no hope that our self entitled Socialist government will stop insulting working people by actually working. By learning about the real world and the efforts so many still make to lead productive respectable lives. That will never happen because the values that made Britain great are anathema to Socialists. Those who complain about the attacks on education and enterprise miss the point. It may be based on an outdated, failed communist agenda. A failure obvious to all, except the true believers of the Labour party. Those who happily lock up people for hurrty words are on a mission. It is to create the Socialist state, the workers paradise. The paradise wherein the commissars carry out the orders of the leaders and the people obey. Far fetched? Sadly, I think not based on this government's attacks on freedom of speech and choice. Based on Starmer's attempts to overturn democracy after the BREXIT referendum

Starmer's rearrangement was not a reshuffle, It brought no fresh blood and added no talent. It did steal some of the limelight from Reform's conference. Could Starmer really move his pawns just to try and damage a rival? Is he that petty? Labour's response to the rise of Reform has been to try and smear its leadership. The Daily Mirror runs almost daily 'expose' rants about especially Nigel Farage. Shock horror, he believes in free enterprise. More shocking, he owns a property - worthy of a ride in a tumbrel he bought a property for his partner. It is pathetic, but more pathetic is that Labour hold the public in such contempt that they think the ploy is worthwhile.
