A Proponent Of The Ruling Class Is An Enemy Of The Poor And Working Classes

Mick Lynch, the firebrand Secretary General of the RMT appeared on Peston this week and claimed that “Peter Mandelson has taken over the Labour Party”. 

Mandelson, an architect of the New Labour project, was in Swindon for a question and answer session recently. 

Just to make the event as accessible as possible to the many they were charging a staggering £150 to ask Pete a question about his life and times. 

If I was paying £150 to ask that heinous saboteur a question you can absolutely guarantee I would be asking him about his friend Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book.

It will be at that moment when security drag me out and I am denounced as a virulent antisemite, for the 12,345th time.

You do have to wonder what will happen when the Labour right finally ditch Keir Starmer.

Despite his dramatic repositioning of the Labour Party in a desperate bid to get the right-wing billionaire media on side, the Labour right see Starmer as a flip-flop centrist with no true ‘progressive’ principles.

They’re almost correct. Starner is a flip-flopper and he hasn’t got any true principles that he can call his own. 

Starmer is no centrist these days, he is more like a Wish-version of David Cameron. Is it conservatism with a small “c”? I can think of one or two other things beginning with “c” to describe these predatorial peddlers of neoliberalism. 

That’s right. Capitalists… 

Talking of predators, the haunted warmonger Tony Blair also decided to pop his head above the drain covers this week, choosing the National Health Service’s 75th birthday to preach about vital “reforms”. 

You see, we’ve been putting up with these NHS “reforms” for as long as I can remember, and the result is an underfunded, understaffed two-tier health system where patients are stacked up in ambulances and dying on trolleys in corridors, while one in five NHS beds are being unnecessarily occupied due to the lack of social care provision thanks to decades of government irresponsibility. 

One of Blair’s suggestions include private healthcare companies advertising their services through an NHS app. 

That may sit well with the current Labour leader but it makes me feel more than uncomfortable because we need a better-funded health service where the staff are worth more than a few measly claps, not a gateway for private healthcare provision through a fucking public app.

I will keep repeating this until I’m blue in the face. Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting, the likely next Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, both receive vast sums of cash from donors with private healthcare interests. 

If you think the next Labour government is going to ride to the rescue of the NHS there’s probably very little hope for you, in all truths. 

Your NHS will not be safe under a Labour government led by an indolent Keir Starmer and advised by wholly discredited stains upon the fabric of humanity, such as Mandelson and Blair. 

Can I be any clearer than that or does the idea of an Americanised style of healthcare float your boat? Maybe you can afford $13,393 (on average) just for the birth of a child, or double that for a caesarean? 

It was hard not to notice Keir Starmer looking awfully pale and totally out of his depth when he was confronted by young people demanding a green new deal on Thursday, 

One of the protesters, Dieudonné Bila, issued a statement following his removal from the stage by Starmer’s bouncers. 

“We won’t stand by and allow private companies to continue making billions as heating becomes unaffordable, or be silent in the face of extreme heat, flooding and droughts."

If Keir Starmer wants the support of young people like us he needs to set out a bold vision for the future that gets to the root causes of the problems we are facing.

That means public ownership, wealth taxes for the 1%, permanent and progressive windfall taxes for polluters, green jobs for everyone and a National Nature Service in the first 100 days of a new Government.” 

Comrade Dieudonné, that sounds an awful lot like socialism and we know what the sellout Starmer thinks about socialism. 

These demands should be front and centre of the next Labour manifesto, of course, but the irritatingly robotic and increasingly arrogant Starmer needs to keep the support of the climate change deniers of the billionaire media. 

Starmer - a leader that is utterly incapable of thinking on his feet - decided the best way to answer the young protestors was to tell them “we did that last month”, and some hogwash about economic growth. 

I’m not sure how to explain this to the gormless atrocity of a Labour leader, but if there’s no functioning planet earth there’s definitely no chance of economic growth. 

An audience with Greta Thunberg would do Mr Starmer the world of good, but when you put Keir Starmer anywhere near a young person they either look like you’ve just smashed up their Xbox with a tin of £1.59 beans or they have this vague, awkward look, like they’ve been locked in a room with a distant relative with a shocking odour issue. 

The unamiable Starmer has always been notably different from you and me. His inability to connect with young people isn’t a new thing, it just becomes more obvious when you stick him in front of an audience.

The shambolic team surrounding Starmer couldn’t even organise a hand-picked audience. How the fuck do you expect these clueless pissants to run a country?

While you and I were playing marbles on drain covers and PAC Man on the Atari, Starmer was part of a faux radical collective that produced Socialist Alternatives, a short-lived 1980s magazine which argued that the left should pay more attention to the environment and feminism.

Starmer has denounced these ideas now. He told Desert Island Discs in 2020, “We were out to change the world … I said some things that were daft … “I’ve grown up”. 

Sure you have, Keith. 

The Labour Party has become a hostile environment for women - especially if you are a Black woman - and what about Rachel Reeves ditching a pledge to spend £28 billion of capital investment in our country’s green transition for each and every year of this decade? 

This dreadful Labour Party is more disjointed and divided than most people will ever realise. But to whose detriment in the long run?

For example, the traitorous pipsqueak Jon Ashworth, described the government’s two-child benefit cap as “heinous” and suggested a Labour government would scrap it. 

However, Keir Starmer says that scrapping the two-child benefit cap isn’t Labour policy, despite his own shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions suggesting the opposite. 

Labour simply cannot be putting out representatives to do the media rounds to say they support people’s right to protest while the indecisive Keir Starmer sat on his hands and did precisely fuck all about it when he had the chance. 

The trainee Tory Starmer now has a regular slot on LBC radio. Some genius came up with the catchy name, “Call Keir”, where he fields mostly tepid questions from a carefully selected list of callers. 

The show is hosted by none other than Nick Ferrari. If you don’t know him just imagine what a radish-coloured giant toad might look like and politically-speaking he sits slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan on the Overton window.

The only tangible difference between Ferrari and the establishment underling Starmer is the simple fact Ferrari makes no secret of his right-wing ideals. 

But Starmer uses this platform on LBC to tell the listeners of a certain demographic what he thinks they want to hear, not what they need to hear. 

We get to Friday and the serpent Starmer is asked about renationalising our water supply. His response exemplifies what has become of the Labour Party under the toxic leadership of this miserable, unambitious Tory stooge. 

“I'm not ideological about this. I looked at the amount of money you'd have to pay to bring water into public ownership. I think the better route is regulation, enforcing it”, said Starmer to the gammonesque Ferrari.

But what about Keir Starmer’s solemn Promise? 

“Public services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders.

 Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing in our NHS, local government and justice system.”

England is the only nation in the developed world that has privatised our water supply.

Can these awful free market fuckwits not just hold their hands up to this ludicrous failure, or is the extra £2.3 billion a year that water privatisation adds to your water bill keeping their grasping hands incredibly full? 

You are being robbed, my friends. 

Let me finish on this. 

Keir Starmer is very likely to be the next Prime Minister. It doesn’t matter how much I rant and rave because that is the political reality. 

The Tories deserve to lose the next election, I truly hope they are finished, dead and buried. 

But whether Keir Starmer and his dullard supporters like it or not, Jeremy Corbyn - more than 3 years after his departure - is still massively preferred to Keir Starmer amongst Labour voters. 

That’s because many traditional Labour voters know that Keir Starmer is a protector of the status quo, a friend to the billionaire media, and quite simply, a Tory, and I couldn’t agree more.

Until next time,
