Keir Starmer and his “Cupboard of commies” have a extreme case of UK-itis. An irrational loathing of the UK, its historical past, sovereignty, industrial previous and army.
Every day they’re in workplace, they take one other step to destroy it. Signing away the Chagos Islands was one such pointless act of self-harm, as was granting permission for the Chinese language mega-embassy in central London. However final week, on the Munich Safety Convention, Starmer managed to hit a brand new low, even by his grubby requirements.
What’s it about Munich and British prime ministers? In 1938, Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Settlement, declaring “peace in our time” – and everyone knows how that labored out. Now, 88 years on, Starmer has signed his personal Munich cope with the EU – one he’s hailing as attaining vitality safety, however which can become one other Starmer expensive capitulation.

In his Munich speech, Sir Keir made it plain: “We aren’t the Britain of the Brexit years any extra.”
Grovelling on all fours earlier than rolling over to get his tummy tickled, he signalled that he’s ready to betray Brexit – one other U-turn after promising to honour the results of the referendum – and give up to the EU, leaving the UK sure by their vitality guidelines. That can speed up the unaffordable white elephant of web zero, which is destroying our manufacturing business and making vitality payments unaffordable for therefore many individuals.
All this, in fact, is at a time when nearly each nation exterior of the EU has deserted web zero. India, for instance, lately celebrated mining a billion tonnes of coal in 12 months, and but Starmer and his Cupboard of clowns are closing down North Sea oil manufacturing on the altar of local weather stupidity.
And Rachel Reeves, who solely weeks in the past mentioned Britain wouldn’t “return in time” with the EU, now describes nearer ties because the “greatest prize” which requires “additional alignment – however I am up for that”.
Starmer has gone again on his manifesto guarantees and Reeves, having damaged the financial system, clearly doesn’t know what else to do.
Over the last interval of Labour Authorities, Estelle Morris resigned her submit as Training Secretary after admitting that she wasn’t as much as the job. If solely Starmer and Reeves would present that degree of self-awareness and do the identical factor.
Regardless of promising in any other case, Starmer has at all times needed to overturn the results of the EU referendum – and his widespread delay of native elections this yr, which he has now been pressured to U-turn on, reveals his contempt for democracy.

Generally I’m wondering if Reeves and Starmer have intentionally run the financial system into the bottom to allow them to blame Brexit and easy the trail to rejoining the EU, however on steadiness, I don’t suppose they’re intelligent sufficient.
No, I feel the reason is extra easy. Not solely are they totally ineffective, they’ve a deep loathing of our nation.
