Britain’s new prime minister has called on the public to reject the “snake oil charm of populism” as King Charles III outlined the Labour government’s legislative agenda for the coming year, which will include a push to fully ban tobacco, a doubling down on the green agenda, an attempt to “reset” relations with the EU and to advocate for Palestinian statehood.

At the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, King Charles III delivered the “gracious speech from the throne” — more commonly known as the King’s Speech — which sets out the government’s legislative programme for the upcoming parliamentary session.

In his introduction to the speech — which is written by the government and merely read by the Monarch, Sir Keir Starmer said per The Telegraph: “The challenges we face require determined, patient work and serious solutions, rather than the temptation of the easy answer.

Reject the snake oil of what you want and what you think is good for you and embrace a centrally controlled communist paradise?

From “The sun never sets on the British empire” to “The sun is setting over Britain” in a little over 100 years.

Yes. But this time it will be different. That’s a core believe of every leftist. This time it will be different.

Of course it never is.

It it’s the right ..it’s populism.

It was nice to know you.

I can’t explain why but I believe strongly should Britain ever not have a Christian (not just in name only) monarch she would fall. I fear that time is here.

Populism - doing what the PEOPLE want, within reason.

Of course Starmer rejects it.

“The challenges we face require determined, patient work and serious solutions, ...”

Higher taxes, higher unemployment, higher prices, higher illegal immigration level, and more crime. Fewer goods, fewer new jobs, fewer new homes, fewer dollar, and less government accountability. All for Mother Gaia.

Suffer you little peasants!!!

It’s a mistake to think that King Charles is simply a ceremonial figure for tourists.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

What it doesn’t have is a Trump.

And while I’m on the subject...

What did the UK’s Deep State know and when did it know it regarding the plot to assassinate Pres. Trump?
