Sir Keir Starmer told the Welsh Labour conference he would defend Labour’s Budget “all day long” as farmers protested against inheritance tax changes outside the venue.

Hailing a “new era” of Labour Wales and Labour Britain “pulling in the same direction”, the Prime Minister said the Welsh branch had “carried the torch” for the party during 14 years of Conservative rule in Westminster.

In his first address as Prime Minister to the conference, Sir Keir praised the election of 27 MPs in July, making Wales a “Tory-free zone” .

As he spoke, farmers unhappy with the changes to inheritance tax unveiled in Rachel Reeves’ first Budget gathered with tractors outside the conference venue in protest

Plank #3 of the Communist Manifesto: “Abolition of all rights of inheritance.”

We haven’t gone all the way on that one, but heavy estate taxes are a step in that direction. Estate taxes are purely punitive because they are taxes levied on assets on which multiple taxes have already been paid many times.

Kier is too stupid to realize it globalist warmongers and lockdowns that cost the previous three PMs their jobs and that the masses in Britain don’t want communism.

Starmer's inheritance tax is the 21st century version of "land reform," a softer version of Mao's execution of all the landlords.

The ultimate goal here is to flush out all the natives from the rural areas and replace them with migrants.

My Welsh ancestors, a brother and sister, walked to a port in England and went to the Caribbean port of Nevis and cut dow trees and milked animals for five years before they were released on the shore of North Carolina.

North Carolina was a mostly confederate state. There’s a small town there that’s named for them.

Two Tier Kier isn’t destroying anything.

He’s just another POTATUS.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

It doesn’t hire the front office appearance types for brains, either.

What the UK doesn’t have, and desperately needs, is a Trump standing between the citizenry and its Deep State.

The UK has what they call “council tax”.

https://www.gov.uk/council-tax

And it is used to ensure that the middle class poses no threat to the UK’s Deep State.

You may be eligible for the scheme if you live in a larger property than you would need if you or another occupant were not disabled.

This is the country that gave the world the window tax, from 1696 to 1851.

Liz Truss was our Trump, unfortunately, the internal mechanisms of the Conservative Party are far more robust in being able to expunge mavericks from the body politic than the US Republican Party, which as far as I can see does not have an equivalent to the 1922 Committee that could have gotten rid of Trump when they realised the threat he could pose to their establishment.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden described the Five Eyes as a "supra-national intelligence organisation that does not answer to the known laws of its own countries".

The letter after the name means bugger all anymore.

Not here.

Not in the UK.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to his/her republic/constitutional monarchy ir to the Deep State.

Too many of our pols on both sides of the pond are Deep State.

Note to the UK: You need a Trump.

Case in point...

Governor Kevin Stitt

We’re preparing for Operation Guardian in Oklahoma— the deportation of illegal aliens, starting with those already sitting in our jails.

Oklahoma will be ready to work with the Trump administration on day one to efficiently and swiftly carry out our operation.
