Starmer's Coup

New New Labour has only been running for six weeks, four of them on holiday, but it looks as though it is on a mission to piss-off as many sectors of the British population as possible.

Here are some:

• Pensioners - no winter fuel allowance except for those on income support
• The rich - reportedly planning to leave the country
• Parents (not all of them rich) putting their children through private education
• Drivers - facing more 20 mph zones (which will also increase CO2 emissions per mile)
• Smokers and vapers - facing more outdoor bans (no mention of cannabis users?)
• Homeowners - facing rises in council tax or some other property-related cash grab
• Residents in areas where more armies of dangerous young men are foisted on them under the guise of asylum seekers (and the asylum-granted)
• Those (and it will be many) who will be affected by Starmer’s new bilateral treaty with Germany’s ‘bomb ze Russians’ Scholz
• Everyone facing the planned proliferation of quangocrats, mayors and other high-handed gauleiters

… have I missed anything?

It reminds me of wacko comedians Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson when they talk about ‘running into off-licences and seeing how much we can drink before the police arrive.’ 

Does the Change Labour team feel it is on limited time?

Or is this a rerun of Covidian arrogance - ‘let’s see what we can make the people do?’

Starmer has had validation from only 20.2% of the electorate, but the whole democratic system means nothing to an autocrat. It’s game on, between the people and the new Lord Protector:

In January 2023, Emily Maitlis asked Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, ‘You have to choose now between Davos or Westminster?’

Starmer replied, ‘Davos… Westminster is just a tribal shouting place.’
