'Keir is trying to take the Reform vote, he seems to be obsessed with Nigel Farage.'

How can we trust anything this Labour Government says.

First after winning a mega majority where hardly anyone voted because we were all so disillusioned by our political classes, Keir Starmer set about introducing things that were not in his manifesto, the Winter Fuel Allowance for one.


Pensioners would lose their allowance if they received more than 11k a year. That’s nothing to live on, especially after most have worked all their lives and can no longer work anymore.

Well that was a stupid idea and surprise surprise, they U-turned.

Then they U-turned on their welfare reforms which would see many genuinely sick and disabled without benefits, again not a mention of this in their manifesto.

And of course the grooming gang scandal where it was clear that a national inquiry was essential, as GB News reporter Charlie Peters identified 50 locations where it was or has happened.

All obvious areas where it was a case of when, not if, they would have to U-turn, because frankly they hadn’t thought any of it through. Despite Labour supposedly being the party for those who are in need.

Of course the party are trying to blame it all on Keir Starmer, but they voted it through with their massive majority. These were all policy decisions that were obviously wrong, all U-turned all in the last month.

But the one thing Keir Starmer got right was his island of strangers speech, which people likened to Enoch Powell.

He told the Observer that he 'deeply regrets' the island of strangers speech. Perhaps as many suspect, Keir is trying to take the Reform vote, he seems to be obsessed with Nigel Farage.

Only this morning in a speech he couldn’t help but mention him again. We can add that to the others.

Seriously, is it any wonder that the country is losing confidence in Keir's incompetent leadership? They haven’t even been in for a year.
