Starmer’s leading Labour to oblivion
HURRAH! Hang out the flags – Durham Police have finally got off their backsides and decided to investigate Shifty Starmer and the 30 Labour officials it’s said attended the now infamous “curry party”.
Of course, they waited until the elections were over before announcing it. Was that to give Sir Keir the best chance of drubbing the Tories in the local elections I wonder?
But what the hell took them so long? It was painfully obvious the case needed reopening and no decent police force could have ignored the mountain of evidence and video footage various newspapers have published in recent weeks – evidence Durham Police should have unearthed.
But you can’t gather evidence when you don’t bother to interview anyone or look at video footage – neither of which Durham Police did. Which is why it’s hard to see how they could have concluded that no Covid rules were broken that fateful night at Durham Miners Hall.
Never mind, better late than never. At least now all eyes will be on officers as they conduct their investigation.And it’s only right and fitting that the man who wants to be Britain’s next prime minister is held to account in the same way our current PM has been.
Although Starmer doesn’t seem to think so. For weeks he’s careered around on his moral high horse, literally screaming for Boris to resign, yelling that he’s a joke, a liar and isn’t fit to lead – all because he walked into a birthday cake presentation he didn’t know was happening. But Beergate looks way worse than anything Boris did.
It’s why for two weeks Starmer has squirmed like a wriggly worm on a hook, avoiding questions about it, making out he’s Mr Good Guy. His sanctimony has been sickening and he’s looked increasingly shifty with every day that passes. More importantly, we now know his party lied about Angela Rayner being in Durham.
So what else might they have lied about? We need to know and hopefully this investigation will tell us.
The law has to act without fear or favour but until yesterday it was very much looking like the law in Durham was favouring Mr Starmer, who had helped Police Commissioner Joy Allen get elected.
Whatever happens with Beergate, the obvious fact remains that Starmer isn’t fit to lead.And the local election results weren’t the bloodbath the Tories expected mainly because people are finally seeing Sir Keir for what he is – a hypocrite whose relationship with the truth is no better than Boris’s. Which is why no one’s swallowing his smug selfrighteousness any more.
The bottom line is both leaders have made mistakes about socialising indoors – the major difference being one of them has apologised 35 times for it while the other won’t admit he’s done anything wrong.
BUT forget all the “gates” for a minute, these local elections have shown that not only is Starmer not the man to win back the Red Wall seats – those working class people stuck with Boris – he’s absolutely not the man to lead us in these dangerous times.
The Labour Party was dead in the water when Starmer took over two years ago. But even though the Tories have been hit with disaster after disaster it’s been predicted Labour STILL won’t win a majority at the next general election.
That’s because he has no charisma, he’s cold, ineffective, boring, he lacks courage, he has no policies and he doesn’t connect with people. In short, he’s not a winner or a leader.
Boris, for all his faults, is!
