THE NEW LABOUR GOVERNMENT - 15 MONTHS ON

Well,  those past 15 months  have been a roller-coaster and a half,  have  they not?    Let's see what we predicted 15 months ago for the Leaders of the Pack.

That the Right Honourable Sir Keir Starmer MP  has no leadership qualities whatsoever - and not to mention any sense of judgement - has been  obvious  ever since he became Leader of the Labour Party.  That cluelessness was compounded - and then some - with revelations shortly after Labour won the Election that Starmer had been on the take big-style so that from that moment on  he became laughably known as Free Gear Keir.  We predicted that he would never recover and he hasn't.  He is the most unpopular Prime Minister in history.  No wonder he spends so much time abroad.

After the Prime Minister comes The Right Honourable  Angela Rayner MP  who was at the time Deputy Prime Minister.  We described Angela as 'several disasters waiting to happen - simultaneously'.  We were spot-on about the vulgar and brain-dead Angela.

Next up for assessment is The Right Honourable Rachel Reeves MP,  Chancellor of the Exchequer.  We described her at the time as 'the most stupid woman on the planet and a hardcore Stalinist on steroids who is going to destroy the country before too long'.  We were spot-on there also.

Now we turn to The Right Honourable David Lammy MP who used to be Foreign Secretary and is now,  we believe,  Deputy Prime Minister.  We described Lammy as 'a stupid,  garrulous man' and events have proved that assessment correct.  He is so, so stupid that even Keir - and even with Keir's disastrous lack of judgement - could no longer trust Mr Lammy as Foreign Secretary and removed him from post.  Keir is of the view that Lammy can do no harm as Deputy Prime Minister but we are far from convinced that view is correct.

Lastly,  we come to The Right Honourable Yvette Cooper MP then Home Secretary and whom we described at the time as 'intellectually unsound but able to get a piece at any door'.  She's doing the rounds - we understand Yvette is now Foreign Secretary as she was unable to deliver at the Home Office.   She talks a good fight but it ends there.  She's a featherweight.

With politicians like those on the front line the country is in excellent hands don't you think?

COVID PPE VIP LANE

A few nights ago,  we watched,  aghast,  a television programme concerning the activities of Tory Party Politicians and Friends during the Covid era when procurement of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) for hospital and medical staff became the Number One government priority. 

They all piled in to the tune of £billions and £billions.  That there was a VIP Lane for Friends of Tory Politicians there is no doubt and was a system  well outside the normal Government Procurement Regulations.  Neither is there any doubt that what happened was Misconduct in Public Office of the very first magnitude whether by Government Ministers,  Civil Servants,  or both.

Will we ever see criminal prosecutions?

ANDY BURNHAM, WANNABE PRIME MINISTER

Andy Burnham,  the Northern-spoken Labour Party machine politician and Mayor of somewhere in the North of England,  fancies himself as Prime Minister  and is punishing the airwaves to push Keir Starmer out.

A word of warning.  While Starmer is,  unquestionably,  a hardcore Socialist - albeit with a refined public attitude - Burnham is a million times worse.  As an old-time Northern Socialist,  Andy is well used to fiddling a system that would take the country back to the 1970s.

You have been warned.  Better the Satan you know than the Satan you don't.

And never trust a man who adds Grecian to his hair.

OUR FREEBIE LOVING LABOUR POLITICIANS

It's extraordinary by any measure.  The two front runners for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party - and Deputy Prime Minister possibly - Bridget Phillipson and Lucy Powell respectively,  were both high up the Gravy Train List of Labour Party politicians  who accepted tens of thousands of GBP in freebies in the very recent past.  And don't forget to add  Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the Number One Freeloader.

The Labour Party is rotten to the core and that is without touching on former Cabinet Minister Peter Mandelson,  until today Ambassador to Washington, and Peter's long association with the seriously wealthy - and seriously criminal - offender Jeffrey Epstein who called him Petie!!!!! 

What on earth is it with Labour Party politicians and money?  Can anyone explain?

   

REFORM UK

We are overwhelmingly uneasy about this overwhelmingly dubious lot. We understand the leader to be one Mr Farage who is notoriously thin-skinned with a very short fuse and as dodgy as a £4 note .....  the ultimate barrow-boy,  in our view.  Mr Farage was much to the fore over Angela Rayner's financial arrangements but is noticeably reticent about his own.

'Twas ever thus,  Mr Farage,  'twas ever thus.  But beware,  and as we said about Angela,  what goes round,  comes round - and all too often with a very loud bang.  Ask Angela.

And voters should ask themselves one question only - would you buy a used car from this man Farage?

ANGELA 'THREE HOMES' RAYNER (2)

She's gone!  The foul-mouthed and loud-mouthed Angela,  Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary  no less, resigned her posts yesterday.  With a little bit of luck,  we will not hear of her again.

While we can readily forgive Angela for a little bit of diddling the taxman,  we cannot forgive her so readily for blaming others for her misfortune instead of taking it on the chin.  And we cannot forgive her at all for calling political opponents 'scum'.  Angela lost any public support she may have had with her world-class hypocrisy,  spectacular even by the standards of the Labour Party. 

A classic case of what goes round,  comes round.

 

SIR MARK ROWLEY, COMMISSIONER, METROPOLITAN POLCE

Sir Mark Rowley is the handsomely-paid Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.  As such,  he is not only in overall charge of policing  London  but also has tentacles  in many subsidiary aspects of national policing.  The arrest of Irish comedian,  Graham Linehan,  a few days ago has thrust Mark into a limelight that he finds very uncomfortable.  It is,  however,  a limelight entirely of his own making.

Mr Linehan,  57,  is a well-known comedian and anti-trans legislation supporter.  In April of this year he posted three tweets to social media platforms one of which read that 'if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space,  he is committing a violent,  abusive act.  Make a scene,  call the cops and,  if all else fails, punch him in the balls.'  

Every sane,  sensible copper in the land would take that as,  at most,  just another joke from a comedian but,  for his troubles,  Mr Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport  on his return from America.  He was locked up in a Police cell and liberated on a bail undertaking pending further investigation.  The allegation is said to be 'on suspicion of inciting violence'!!!!!  Seriously, and this from what is claimed to be  an overstretched Metropolitan Police Service and the best police force in the world!!!!!  No wonder they are overstretched,  investigating drivel like this.

An unprecedented furore followed with politicians from the Prime Minister down angry with the Metropolitan Police over the arrest.  Inevitably,  Mark,  as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police,  was drawn into the furore.  Realising that he was caught on the back foot and,  to distance himself from the furore,  Mark called for the Government to 'change or clarify the law'.  Mark went on to say,  most correctly,  that 'I don't believe we should be policing toxic culture wars debates and officers are in an impossible position' but those comments came only long after the horse had  bolted.

But, Mark, but.  Officers are not in that 'impossible position'  because of the Government;  they are in that situation because you,  as Commissioner, didn't have the gumption and the guts to address the problems caused by the Public Order Act 1986 long before now.  

Furthermore,  you,  and you alone,  are responsible  because you have failed manifestly in your duty to direct your officers how to proceed in situations such as those experienced by Mr Linehan and,  most certainly,  you should never be attempting to enforce any legislation that requires any clarification from Government.  Incidentally, are we right in thinking that only  courts can clarify the law and never the Government?

And we're still awaiting you to explain the precise chain of events that led to Mr Linehan's arrest and the officers responsible therefor.  When are you going to tell us?
