Keir Starmer vs (John McDonnell, Nigel Farage and Angela Rayner)

 

Keir Starmer was employed to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn. This was his main job. In so doing, he tried to wipe out every one who was seen, openly or under cover) as a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn.

When started moving towards the right, Keir Starmer started creating a void in areas that have been traditionally Labour Party territory.

Keir Stamer won an election telling lies about what Labour was going to do. He made promises and turned promises into slogans. Like George Bush and the famous "read my lips, no more taxes), Keir Starmer proposed auterity on top of austerity. It has been an absolute disaster, given Reform the golden opportunity to make a very successful incursion into Labour´s traditional territory.

Many years ago, the Labour Party turned its back to the British working class and opened the floodgates to mass immigration, bringing in thousands upon thousands to replace the white working class that, left without representation, joined the National Front and the British National Party. Even a London Assembly Member elected to represent the British National Party was a well known Labour Party member that disillusioned with the Labour Party decided to joine the British National Party then led by Nicholas Griffin.

The working classes trusted the British National Party and the British National Party had resounding victories, including the election of local councillors (it was the official opposition in Barking and Dagenham) and had elected members in several local authorities, had a London Assembly Member and had two Members of the European Parliament.

Some years ago, a Conservative Leader, Boris Johnson, won the vote of the working clases in the so called Red Wall. Now, Reform threatens to do exactly the same by taking onboard former Labour Party policies, and this comes after a massive electoral success, having taken over most of the local authorities being disputed in local elections and turning other local authorities into no overall control, several mayoral seats and winning an additional parliamentary seat in Runcorn.

And what is the danger for Keir Starmer. Two factions are threatening his authority from inside the Labour Party. Undoubtedly, although John McDonnell was practically forced to become independent, people who support the line supported by John Mcdonnell can see this as an opportunity to get rid of Keir Starmer. Angela Rayner went all the way to the BBC, appearing in one of the main, if not the main, political programme of the BBC to say that she has no intention to challenge Keir Starmer. She should have added "not yet". 

Foreseen events like strikes in the state education sector, in the NHS and in several areas of the public administration, combined with comings and goings when it comes to economic policies will be fertile ground to cut short Keir Starmer´s Prime Ministerial Career.

Any more faux pas, any more mishaps, any more electoral disasters could be the iceberg that sinks the Titanic. Interesting to see the outcome of the next local elections, including local elections in London, in 2026. 

Rachel Reeves is a key player and her room for maneuver is schrinking in size one day at a time. She herself might decide to throw the towel and this would be an absolute disaster. Labour´s argument is entirely based on the economy and the resignation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be undeniable evidence of the total failure of the Labour Administration.    

Keir Starmer: Labour has changed. No rise of Income Tax or National Insurance?

 

There was a candidate in times past standing for election in Latin America. He said that he was going to build roads that could allow motorists to save money. The brilliant idea, he said, was to build one side of the roads going upwards and the other side of the roads going downwards.

Massive investment in salaries in the public sector and in Welfare without spending a penny? Somebody will have to pay for it.

'Read my lips', was the catch phrase of President George Bush Sr.

Monies for salaries and welfare will have come from somewhere - either from borrowing or from higher taxes or from both borrowing and higher taxes. There is no way out. Father Christmas promises will not do. Public budgets will have to be financed with sound economics or we will end up having Britain as the new Slough or the new Birmingham. What was the emergency measure approved for Bimingham? A rise of Council Tax to try to shore up a bankrupt authority that, in spite of tax rises, was forced to stop offering vital services.

We are at a crosswords. Grant Shapps made promises about defense that cannot be delivered - not even by cutting down other vital sectors of the administration. The fact remains that Britain is unfit for war because Britain does no longer have the industries that supported strong military capabilities. But things are a lot worse than that. In a country with more than 60 million people, the numbers of those serving in the Armed Forces are below 70,000 and those capable and fit enough for combat are far below than that. So the Conservative proposal in terms of bringing in National Service are not just a realistic solution, but the only solution available. Keir Starmer should be asked about how you can fight a war without Armed Forces.

 

Ukraine: Time to start translating what politicians actually mean before we cross the point of no return

Politicians hide their real intentions by making statements that sound appealing but point the world in the wrong direction.

Words like equality, fairness, and many others like them can be used to hide the intention to carry out criminal activities. 'We cannot afford it' - translation: we can afford it, but we simply don't want to pay for it. 'That is impossible', 'we wouldn't do that'. Expressions like these are very much part of the armoury of conmen. 'Trust me', 'read my lips'. Wasn't George Bush Sr as President that told Americans that there would not be more taxes. 

As a politician told me after he made a very strong statement to the media, 'that is only for the media'. He had no real intention of doing what he announced. In essence, if you don't trust politicians you are surely on the right track. Deception after deception, billions of US Dollars were 'lost in Iraq' and are being 'lost in Ukraine'. They tell you that nobody knows where the monies went, that there is no accountability, that we are going to continue investigating until we find the truth. Lies upon lies and no real intention of telling you what actually happened or who got the monies. In essence, they do know where the monies went, but they don't want to tell you where the monies went because telling you where the monies went would reveal something unpalatable, something criminal.

As President Ronald Reagan could not get the monies to support the Contras in Nicaragua, the CIA put in motion a plan that would involve soaking the US with narcotics produced by the Cartels. The Contras had no real intention of fighting against the Sandinistas. They just used the opportunity given to them to make money. The Contras got the weapons and exchanged the weapons for drugs produced by the Cartels and used the secrecy to distribute drugs in the USA making huge profits. After many years and after the killing of a journalist that revealed what was really going on, the CIA was forced to come clean and reveal that the CIA had been involved in criminal activities to support an ill conceived plan that was bound to fail because it was based on false assumptions. If you follow what the media published in those days, you understand that media colluded with politicians in desastrous adventure that fuelled drug consumption and criminal activities in the USA.

The war in Ukraine is making some people extremely wealthy because the war is being used as an excuse to extort money and the whole affair is nothing more than a gigantic criminal network. Much of what was supposed to be sent to Ukraine has already ended in the hands of international criminal networks.

Going into Afghanistan in 2001 was an act of madness. Leaving in 2021 after 20 years of occupation was another act of madness.

 

Osama bin Laden was the reason George Bush and Tony Blair gave as justification to go, bomb and invade a country of more than 38 million people.

They went in like Bomber Harris, bombing, bombing and bombing indiscriminately because they wanted to kill Osama bin Laden.

Imagine if we were to bomb Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia or any other country because we wanted to flush out a group of narco-traffickers.

And the world watched the so called War on Terror that became a war against the people of Afghanistan, most of who had nothing to do with Osama bin Laden and AlQaeda. From the war on terror, we went into the Nation Building Approach with talk about a promising future of the people of Afghanistan with social developments including education. 

Now, Joe Biden has put an end to social developments and education and replaced them with another war in which Taliban is going against its own people to turn the clock back and the number of casualties to whom promises were made about a brilliant future. Those who dared to believe in a promising future are being stabbed in the back by President Joe Biden. 

As soon as Western troops started to pull out the slaughter began.
