Johnson and Starmer: Neither Are Worthy Of Your Vote

Seriously, whatever happened to the apparently clinical Tories that used to dispose of their leaders at the first sniff of a meltdown? 

At the time of writing this, less than 10% of the amoebalike Conservative parliamentary party are thought to have submitted a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson to the chair of the 1922 Committee, Graham Brady. 

Yes, I know it should be “Sir”, but I rarely afford that title to a Conservative, particularly one that once used your money to purchase himself a £1,600 table and chairs set, or £1,364.80 on a bloody wardrobe. All in the name of “expenses”, of course.

My last wardrobe was £20, from Facebook, so why does Brady need one costing a few months worth of electricity? Does it count the letters from disgruntled Tory MPs for him? 

The grasping swine also claimed back £300 for two stools, £800 for a snazzy TV, £149 for a digital radio, £10 for a milk frother, and £2.69 for a roll of duct tape. How very Tory.

So no, I won’t be addressing these greedy, rapacious Tory bastards how they wish to be addressed, because they are gourmandising establishment backwash that warrant no less than political obliteration. 

The same applies for another well known Tory, Keir Starmer. 

Please don’t ever confuse my loathing of Boris Johnson with an admiration for Keir Starmer, because I am a socialist, and he is an anti-socialist, just like Boris Johnson.

I am not a believer of the centrist guff. A binary choice is no choice at all. 

Not voting for Keir Starmer’s Labour Party doesn’t make you a “Tory enabler” - unless you’re silly enough to vote Conservative - but if your vote helps deliver Starmer to power, you have literally enabled another Tory government, serving the rich and powerful, reporting back to the establishment cronies. 

I continue to remain baffled by the people who find this difficult to understand. 

Let’s try another way. 

Jeremy Corbyn could call himself Ayatollah Khomeini, but he would still be Jeremy Corbyn. 

Boris Johnson could call himself Judy, erm.. Garland, but he would still be that irascible prevaricator Boris Johnson.

I could call myself Tammy Slaton, but I would still be Rachael. 

Keir Starmer can call himself Labour, but he’s still quite clearly, a fucking Tory, and no amount of TikTok videos from the intolerable Starmerite-for-hire will convince me otherwise.

“Isn’t it better to get a little bit of what you want, rather than nothing at all?”, is another popular one. But what is this “little bit” that they speak of? 

Wes Streeting’s continuation of NHS privatisation? Keir Starmer’s continued support for New Labour’s work capability assessment? The purge of a record number of Jewish people from the Labour Party membership without as much as a sniff of protest from the establishment media? 

Do they seriously wonder why we find the thought of a government led by Keir Starmer equally as unpleasant as a government led by any of the repugnant Tory hopefuls? They’re all the same.

They’re all in it for themselves, their families, their friends, and their donors, and until we eradicate this type of politician from making the decisions that directly impact you and your families and friends, nothing will change. 

Your energy bills are about to go from exceptionally expensive to utterly extortionate overnight. Heating or eating is already a tragic reality for millions of people that you share an island with. 

Your contribution to government coffers is going up. Interest rates are up. Benefits have been cut. The cost of your weekly shop is up. And your energy prices are going to increase by more than 50%. 

At the same time, the government has just made £4.3 billion worth of Covid fraud disappear. They spent more than £12 billion on PPE of which more than £8 billion was nearly as fucking well useless as the government themselves.

And what do the political titans come up with? 

The Tories force you into taking a £200 loan and Starmer’s Labour suggest cutting a ‘whopping’ 5% from the VAT on your energy bills. 

These inadequate elitists must be laughing at us when they get these ideas from their focus groups and now-resigned advisers. Who in their right mind would even suggest these insults to the British people? This is crumbs from the table stuff, once you’ve cleared off the numerous dead cats. 

Insanity is said to be doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That’s where we are my friends. 

We’ve been trying to do things this way for 40 years, and we can clearly see that it doesn’t work for most of us. Not one person should be living in poverty in a country that boasts some 171 billionaires. 

Why is it down to a handful of left-wing MPs to continually point out the obvious? Nationalise energy. It is an essential service being sold to you as a luxury product. 

Corbyn was right, however unpalatable that might be to you Tories, both red and blue. 

You’ll even find the public are supportive of nationalising energy, because we are sick of witnessing successive governments do precisely *nothing* to get a grip of the rip-off energy giants and their shareholders' astronomical dividends, while our friends and neighbours have to choose between turning the heating on and putting a meal on the table. 

The argument to nationalise energy has never been as strong as it is today. Where is the Labour Party? Do we need to find out how many of them receive funding from the energy industry?

The political class are detached from reality. Most of them haven’t got a clue how much a loaf of bread costs, so getting them to understand, for example, that the fight against austerity and the fight for climate action are the same fight, is quite a challenge. 

And in reality, why would they care? The political class will make a fortune, regardless of who wins. The rosette colour is a distraction from the main event. Once you’ve cracked that you’ll see exactly where I am coming from. 

Never has the political class or the mainstream media that covers them been more out of touch with the British people than they are today.

I will continue to beat the new party drum. 

A democratic socialist left-leaning party, fully behind proportional representation, free from factional warfare, a home for the politically homeless, and a party that tries to win over the hearts and minds of the apathetic, rather than just compete for the floating 5% of woke Tories. 

That’s where I’m at. 

I’m sick of the Tories - but I refuse to accept the current opposition are anything other than Tories themselves, because no other evidence I have seen suggests otherwise.

My Twitter timeline has more than 7 years of evidence to back this up. My loathing of the Conservative Party had the Daily Mail and the S*n harassing me on my doorstep. In my opinion, my anti-Tory credentials are sound. 

But we have to get out of the way of thinking that not supporting the identical alternative in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is somehow a vote for the Tories, because it isn’t, it is simply a damning indictment of our fictitious sham of a democracy. 

When the apathetic realise their vote is really worth something - in today’s day and age this isn’t impossible to achieve - and when they find a party that matches their basic values of decency and compassion, it’s the beginning of the end for the status quo. 

But they, we, will not find the solutions in Starmer’s Labour Party or Johnson’s Conservative Party, because they are the problem, not you. 

Until next time, 

Rachael
