“Why Are You Employing Tory Policies To Deal With A Tory Crisis?”

It wasn’t really a “shadow cabinet reshuffle”, was it? 

I know that’s what the mainstream propaganda called it, but they also called Boris Johnson the greatest Prime Minister since Churchill and Liz Truss a safe pair of hands after the dethroning of the aforementioned 

The obsequious lickspittle Starmer should remain on his knees to give thanks to Johnson and Truss because they are the only reasons why he will form the next government. 

Surely you didn’t think it was servile Starmer’s complete lack of principles, his marshmallow backbone, and his vuvuzela-like tones that look set to deliver a thumping Labour majority next year, right? 

I put myself through the misery of listening to an LBC phone-in with Iain Dale and Rachel Reeves the other day, I’m sure lots of you did too…

But one particular caller made the entire 45 minutes worth listening to when he asked Reeves, “why are you employing Tory policies to deal with a Tory crisis?”. 

Reeves, along with temporary leader Starmer have molded this Labour Party into what they perceive to be a safe pair of hands for Tory voters and a supportable entity for the billionaire Tory media. 

Starmer will win the next election based on the awfulness and unpopularity of the Conservatives and a few focus group soundbites. Throw in a few flags and 

it’s job done. 

Their argument has always been about dragging the Labour Party to the centre-ground, so why go as far to the right as they have if the centre is where you will find a vast majority of the British people?

It’s a nonsense argument. More than 80% of the electorate voted for left and right wing policies in 2017, so why didn’t Starmer do exactly what he said he was going to do? 

They told us to expect “Corbynism without Corbyn”, not Thatcherism without Thatcher or Blairism with the Skeletor of the centre-right Blair sniping away in the background as if he is anything other than a discredited Saudi stooge with the blood of a generation of Iraqis on his grubby little hands.

The unpopularity of this government meant Starmer could put together a genuinely progressive manifesto that committed to eradicating inequality and injustice, building social housing, promoting public ownership, and still win by a fucking country mile. 

But he chose not to. 

Despite the Tories facing chaos and catastrophe every way they turn, the Labour leader chose to follow the same broken path that has left us with a battered National Health Service, crumbling schools and the sixth highest national debt amount in the world. 

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t it legislation, brought in under Tony Blair that paved the way for “alternative providers” to bid for NHS contracts for the first time? 

What is it that Keir Starmer has said to the electorate that suggests he won’t continue the work of Tony Blair, and his former health secretary, Alan Milburn? 

Private healthcare cash has found a new home in Starmer’s Labour Party. What’s the point of giving it to the Tories when you can purchase influence for next-to-nothing from Keith.com?

Keir Starmer has returned the Labour Party to a party that’s reliably obedient to power, and that reshuffle was to ensure the people sharing the top table will follow the new New Labour mantra. 

When someone like Lisa Nandy is being described as “soft-left” - considering she would happily press the big red civilisation-ending button - you know just how far to the right the Labour Party has tragically veered.

The reshuffle included the promotion of five MPs that were in Tony Blair’s government. Surely you don’t think this is coincidental? It’s the end product of a completed takeover.

Keir Starmer and a narrow band of Blairites have successfully marginalised the left of Labour and the party finds itself devoid of any morality-based ideological core. 

Tony Benn was all over these establishment placaters when he described them as a “harmless alternative to the Conservatives”. 

Benn said: 

“If the Labour Party could be bullied or persuaded to denounce its Marxists, the media – having tasted blood – would demand next that it expelled all its Socialist and reunited the remaining Labour Party with the SDP to form a harmless alternative to the Conservatives, which could then be allowed to take office now and then when the Conservatives fell out of favour with the public. Thus British Capitalism, it is argued, will be made safe forever, and socialism would be squeezed off the national agenda. 

But if such a strategy were to succeed… it would in fact profoundly endanger British society. For it would open up the danger of a swing to the far-right, as we have seen in Europe over the last 50 years.”

The biggest fall in living standards since records began is hardly likely to endear voters to the Tories, of course, but it’s a clear indication that we have a sham of a democracy when the only alternative to the Tory government is something remarkably similar. 

I’m of a strong belief that every single vote should count. The balance of power should not lie in Middle England and nor should it lie in the former ‘Red wall’ constituencies.

Giving just one party 100% of the power for what might be 40% of the overall vote is a democratic outrage, whether that be the Tories or Starmer’s right-wing Labour. 

We have been ruined for the last thirteen years by a government that had the support of just three out of ten of the British people and you’re telling me we don’t need to force proportional representation down the throats of the ruling class until the green shoots of democracy are growing out of their over privileged arseholes? 

Starmer’s reshuffle was a statement of intent. He doesn’t give a shit about people suffering with mental health problems, that’s why he scrapped the shadow mental health brief. 

Prepare for further years of unbelievably inadequate mental health services under a New Labour 2.0 government led by Keir Starmer, and advised by Jeffrey Epstein’s shopping pal.

An acquiescent punditocracy and their billionaire string-pullers are preparing for a Labour government. They know the game is up for the Tories, but they equally know this morally reprehensible incarnation of the Labour Party poses as much of a threat to the establishment as Reform UK. 

Queue the screams of “Tory enabler”, for having the temerity to point out the blindingly fucking obvious. History won’t judge you kindly when the present has already decided Sir Kid Starver is a Tory, and if you vote for him and enable a Starmer victory you must know what that makes you… right? 

Probably not. 

Until next time,
