You have been warned! A Labour Government is coming, says Mark Dolan

Don't panic Captain Mainwaring. Following yesterday’s West Lancashire By-Election, the Tories have suffered their worst defeat there ever.

Things are so shocking for the Tories - locally and nationally - their plight is now a bit like an alcoholic that reaches rock bottom. There's really only one direction they can go, and that’s up.

Expectations now, must be for a Labour government, with a decent majority. But it's a funny old world, and with two years for the public to reflect on what that Labour government may look like, they may just think again.

I think you can probably rule out a Tory majority in two years’ time, but a hung parliament with the Tories coming through as the biggest party?

If old Sunak makes progress with his five point plan, I wouldn't put it past them. Why? Well because of reality.

Yes we have raging inflation, strikes, a woke takeover of our institutions. We have the channel migrant crisis, and we have an NHS on life-support.

I will grant you, this has all happened after 13 years of Tory rule. But what the public will have to ask themselves, is whether Labour is the answer. Is labour the answer to striking unions, when those same union barons bankroll the party.

The Tories are bad, but Labour are way worse, says Mark Dolan

Is labour the answer to the channel migrant crisis, when they rejected the Rwanda plan and talk of a deal with France – good luck with that.

Are Labour the answer to inflation, when they will likely yield to striking workers and their inflation-busting demands? Are Labour the answer to Britain's current debt nightmare, when it's quite clear, that should they achieve power, the whole of the public sector will expect them to splash the cash.

And if that doesn't happen, mark my words, there will be a civil war within the Labour party, making Keir Starmer's job almost impossible from day one. That's the answer for Britain is it?

It's my view that the lockdown-loving, cervix-free, irredeemably woke Keir Starmer, who will jump on any political bandwagon – exhibit A right here will preside over five years of stifling political correctness, further policing of our language, bonkers trans ideology, divisive identity politics and the rewriting of our history. In other words, five more years of woke b*******.

We're not in a good situation. The Tories are bad – absolutely – but in my view labour are worse and if the public don't anticipate that ahead of election day, they certainly will find out, once they get in. A Labour government is coming - you have been warned. Be careful what you wish for.

Labour would argue the Tories have been catastrophic and it’s time for change.

They would point to a wrecked economy, up to 1000 people entering the country illegally every day, an NHS in crisis, spiralling debt, sleaze, allegations of bullying by ministers and a cost of living crisis.

They would call the woke stuff simply aiming for a more caring, tolerant, inclusive society.

They would argue it’s their turn.
