Starmer’s staggering incompetence makes him the worst PM in 50 years
The Telegraph ^ | 04 December 2024 | Allister Heath

Posted on 12/04/2024 5:46:02 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Keir Starmer has been in office for only five months, but it is already clear that his Government will be the worst in half a century. The die is cast: the Prime Minister is doubling down on every mistake, every prejudice, every tenet of the failed orthodoxy that has ruined Britain, probably because he is a true believer. He cannot and won’t change, seemingly oblivious to his abominable poll ratings, yet his inability to get anything right is truly staggering.

Even those of us who predicted Starmer would be a disaster have been stunned by the speed of his implosion, the lies, the shamelessness of his pandering to the public sector unions, his lack of basic political skills, his ineffectual communications, his abysmal strategy and tactics and the low calibre of many of his ministers.

His relaunch this week will merely prove that he has no ideas other than to serve as the Blob’s emissary. There is no hope of a comeback, no chance of a meaningful change of direction or sudden outbreak of inspiration.

He has hired the most insidery of Whitehall insiders to be his new Civil Service chief. He has surrounded himself with human rights lawyers who believe that handing over the Chagos Islands and the Elgin Marbles, freeing criminals, pushing up the price of energy and motoring in the name of net zero, restricting the advertising of porridge, and persecuting Israel amounts to a coherent, attractive policy agenda for Middle Britain.

If that were not bad enough, he will keep legal immigration at extreme levels, has no plans to meaningfully tackle illegal arrivals, cannot conceive of “improvements” to state services that don’t involve massive pay splurges, will never wage a real war on crime, is too timid to reform the NHS...

Starmer sounds like Biden on steroids. At least Biden kinda/sorta had the excuse that he was old & senile.

And the Tories were almost as bad.

This Starmer guy doesn’t have dementia, does he? A long history of telling bold faced lies? A family enterprise of selling influence? There’s a guy still running around here who’s like that and I wondered if he wasn’t already moonlighting in the UK.

Starmer is just another incompetent Obama puppet who’s doing what Obama told him to do.

Biden is an opportunist who has gone whichever ways the wind blew within the Dem party (radically shifting on crime, abortion, immigration etc. when he deemed it politically expedient to do so). Starmer is different. He’s a dyed-in-the-wool leftist true believer. He was raised by radical-left activist parents who named after union activist Keir Hardie. Frankly it’s hard to think of an analogous figure in mainstream American politics, maybe Pete Buttigieg son of Marxist professor. Of course Kamala H is also offspring of Marxists, but she’s proven herself to be more of an empty vessel rather than a true-believer.

So, he’s the British Biden, minus the senility.

Politicians who fail should be criminally punished. This clown and Biden deserve the death penalty. It’ll keep the riff raff from running if they face death for their idiocy. Trudeau too. Sometimes they get it like in Romania but not often enough.

America suffered through dour years of Biden, guess it’s the Brit’s turn to suffer and incompetent leader. But they can always vote a no confidence in Parliament and remove him.
