Trusting a policy pledge from Slippery Starmer is like believing in the sincerity of Jeremy Corbyn celebrating Hanukkah, says Dan Wootton

Trusting a policy pledge from Slippery Starmer is like believing in the sincerity of Jeremy Corbyn celebrating Hanukkah.

But today the man who is coasting towards the Prime Ministership, even though it’s impossible to know what he really believes about anything other than winning, launched five weaselly and actually pretty meaningless missions.

Essentially the new version of Ed Miliband’s disastrous Ed Stone.

So here they are…

- Secure the highest sustained growth in the G7

- Make Britain a clean energy superpower with zero-carbon electricity by 2030, accelerating to net zero

- Build an NHS fit for the future

- Make Britain’s streets safe

- Break down the barriers to opportunity at every stage

As vague as vague can be. No timelines, no specifics other than on the economically ruinous march to Net Zero.

And not a single mention of the invasion of our southern border or out of control immigration, a clear concession that Labour’s open borders ethos remains alive and well.

Oh, and he’s already conceded defeat by saying it couldn’t all be achieved in one term anyway…

But the bigger point is an issue of trust.

How can we believe Keir Starmer believes in these pledges and will implement them when time and again.

from Brexit to Corbyn to Begum to his leftie leadership pledges, the man has said what he needs to for political expediency at the time only to reverse course later?

No wonder the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak decided to re-write Starmer’s mission for him this week…

Even the British Bashing Corporation couldn’t stomach another set of lies from the opposition leader on the Today programme this morning…

Starmer spent years campaigning for Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime Minister.

He spent years campaigning for a second referendum on Brexit to undermine the biggest democratic mandate in British history.

He lied to his party about a hard-left programme only to reverse course the moment he secured the party.

His missions are meaningless because Starmer cares about one thing and one thing only: Securing power and then doing what the hell the globalist political establishment tells him to do.

Be warned.
