Starmer's Support Collapses

The public are already losing patience.

Labour’s decline is fast continuing - and that’s before what promises to be a truly miserable Budget.

As I wrote about last week, Keir Starmer’s allies are already worried about the challenge from Reform UK.

Paid supporter Charles posted this comment in response to that article:

“That Reform is attracting Labour voters, is so good.

“The Tory one nation wets (LibDems in disguise) will fight the Tory Party move to the right tooth and nail.

“They will never leave the ECHR, even if Jenrick is Leader. This bodes well for Reform.”

Certainly the badly split Tory Party faces a struggle to stop Reform overtaking them - one poll at the weekend had just 4 points between the two.

When it comes to Labour meanwhile, voters are already seeing through the empty promises.

Starmer’s pledge to ‘smash the gangs’ has been exposed as all talk.

The 18th October saw a further 647 people on 10 boats cross from France to England.

Increasingly it is blatantly obvious that if you want strong borders you must leave the European Union and ditch the ECHR.

Just look at what is going on across Europe right now.

The Dutch and Hungarian Governments are seeking to opt out of EU asylum rules. A request not likely to be granted.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced a suspension of asylum claims after a surge in illegal migration.

Whilst Italian PM Giorgia Meloni’s plans for offshore processing centres in Albania have been thwarted as with the Conservative Government’s Rwanda plan here.

A European Court of Justice ruling has meant that the few men already taken to Albania will now likely be returned to Italy in another farcical development.

Meloni has hit out at opposition parties in Italy, with the Italian PM recently writing:

“Dear Italians, this is the text with which the PD MPs elected to the European Parliament ask Europe to open a formal infringement procedure against Italy.

“Your representatives who define as ‘illegal’ a measure voted by the Italian Parliament only because they do not agree with it.

“Your representatives who propose that Italy be punished, because the majority of its citizens have chosen the centre-right to govern the nation and have asked the government to stop mass illegal immigration.

“These are the ‘democrats’ who, against the will of the majority of Italians, ask for external support to force Italy not to respect the will of the majority of its citizens. A simply scandalous and irresponsible behaviour.

“And it has nothing to do with the right or the left: it only has to do with the fact that they are willing to damage Italy as a whole in order to hit a Government they do not like.”

Fundamentally, the UK is ahead of the game thanks to Brexit. We have already left a European Union bloc that contains elected Governments begging to be able to ditch the EU’s rules.

Just think about that: citizens in democracies across Europe voting for politicians and parties who then have to plead with Brussels to implement policies.

Doesn’t sound very democratic to me. After the ECHR’s intervention in our country it is also clear we must ditch that too.

This is all very far away from Starmer’s Labour agenda though. Which is why I believe this Government is already proving itself to be be hopelessly out of touch - and why it has already seen a considerable decline in support.
