Starmer’s net public approval falls 24 points in one month

 

Last week, I spoke to a retired pensioner who I know, who voted for Labour on 4  July. A keen traditional Labour loyalist, he said he was the first in his local polling booth on the day of the general election to vote for Labour.

Labour have now repaid his loyalty and support by taking his winter fuel allowance off him. Was he foolish to place so much trust in a Labour Party led by Sir Kier Starmer-oid?

In her novel, 'Felix Holt the Radical', George Eliot, says this: "And If a working man thinks that a vote can do for him what it was never intended to do, then he's foolish to that amount. And the way to get rid of folly, is to get rid of vain expectations."

Today, a vote for either Labour or Tory, is like voting for Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The Rumanians have a saying: "Only fools exult when governments change." In Britain, whoever you vote for, the capitalist always gets in.
