The Labour government have just appointed Peter
Mandelson as the UK Ambassador to America. The newspapers are now reporting
that in desperation, Mandelson has offered to work with Nigel Farage the leader
of Reform UK to win over Donald Trump and his administration. They might as well
as make Nigel Farage our man in Washington. A member of Donald Trump's team
recently described Mandelson as a "moron."
The Labour Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer-oid, is increasingly looking like he's out of his depth and out of touch with the British electorate. This former Trotskyist now seems to spend much of his time absent from Britain and flying around the world. The Deputy Prime Minister, Angie Rayner, has been given the nuclear codes in the event of war. Labour have alienated many voters by withdrawing the winter fuel allowance from the elderly and refusing to pay compensation to the WASPI women. Starmer-oid is facing a possible backbench rebellion by Labour MPs over the issue.
Labour swore to grow the economy but since the budget, economic activity in Britain has been stalling, inflation is rising, and there is talk of an economic recession. Politically, Starmer seems clueless and lost. He's now less popular than Liz Truss who lasted just fifty days in office. Labour have now been in power five months, but I doubt that Starmer-oid will last five years as Labour leader.
Tony Blair must be already eying up a replacement for Starmer-oid. The man is a total jerk! Farage and Reform UK must be rubbing their hands with glee at the mess that Labour and the Tories are in as they're likely to benefit from it politically. It's been rumoured that Labour are now trying to change the law to prevent Elon Musk making a huge financial donation to Reform UK. That will make them even less popular with the Trump administration and the British voter.

It's unsurprising to you and I that they are in so much trouble so quickly. They were not subject to the normal level of scrutiny by the media during the election campaign. As it was self-evident that the Tories were going to be obliterated and that the LP were going to form the next government. It follows that the lack of substance in what they were proposing was not subject to any critical evaluation. I was absolutely staggered when I spoke to others and they thought that GB Energy would reduce their fuel bills. It's no more than an investment vehicle or should I say a contemporary PFI. The LP were presenting it as a utilities provider, which would challenge the monopoly of the private sector and have a direct impact on the price of energy. The lack of political nous in scrapping the WFA and then within weeks there being an announcement of a 10% increase in costs, followed by a further one on 1/1/25, when they must have been aware of the increases in costs that were in built into the system, demonstrates their arrogance and stupidity. They currently find themselves at 26% in the polls, with Reform and the Tories close by. All these inept clowns are doing is moving the electorate to the right. This trend will intensify as time goes on, as the lack of substance in all of their policies, will become increasingly exposed.
