Starmer's approval rating at lowest on record amid cronyism scandal.

 

'Big Brother' - Comrade Starmer-oid

Labour's approval rating under Sir Keir Starmer-oid, has fallen 20 percentage points in just four weeks - the lowest on record. The Daily Telegraph seems to think this is because people perceive Labour has corrupt and full of cronyism.

Politically, the decision to end the winter fuel allowance for around 10m pensioners, was arrant stupidity. It's an action that you'd expect from the politically clueless and a vile scumbag. I wouldn't be surprised to see Labour do a U-turn on this or see a shift in their position. When Labour was in opposition, they were urging the Tories to retain the winter fuel allowance. The excuse that the country can't afford it, hardly bears scrutiny. They've just given developing countries £11.6bn in foreign aid to help them cope with climate change. Many MPs also claim expenses from the British taxpayer for their own energy costs, despite receiving an annual salary of £91,346 plus expenses. 

Labour have said that they're not the party for people on state benefits and will be tougher than the Tories, when it comes to cutting the welfare bill. They say they're the political party for hard-working families and people in work. They believe that in society, there are the deserving and undeserving. Labour's Chancellor, Rachel 'Freeze' Reeves, who means-tested the winter fuel allowance, thinks that many people on state benefits are feckless sturdy beggars, who shirk their duty and responsibility to work. What she doesn't say, is that around 40% of people who claim Universal Credit, are people in work, who claim the state benefit because their wages are so low. This also includes many people who work in the DWP's Jobcentres.

So, if you haven't got a job and are a pensioner, disabled or unemployed, Labour couldn't care less about you. It will only take one British pensioner to die of hypothermia or starvation and Starmer-oid and his squalid Labour government will be toast. We're already reading stories about pensioners who can't afford to heat their homes and have to make a difficult choice between heating and eating.

I think that a U turn is inevitable at some point . Again , on Radio 4 this morning it was revealed that many Labour MPs have been inundated with letters/emails from constituents complaining about this cut .. As we have said , the hands of Blair and Mandelson have certainly played a part in this as well , and removing Thatcher¬s portrait from No . 10 , won`t make any difference whatsoever .
