TFL TRUTH

Why is this issue of fair play in public life & politics so important to me? I've seen people I've grown up with get tossed on the garbage heap of life, disregarded by a system that didn't care. I've heard career politicians make a living off the back of them. I've seen people get rich off the back of ordinary, decent workers while they still can't pay their rent. I've had enough and so have you. That's why I'll use my voice to be your voice when I get the opportunity in here. If that's too much for you, change the channel cos I'm cooking 🔥

Yes Keir Starmer has to go, whether it’s today, tomorrow, next week, after the local elections or god forbid after the next general election, he has to go. He’s a dull uninspiring leader, leading a party which doesn’t have the answers to the problems our country is facing and here lies the crux of the matter. Even if he does go, the problem remains. We elected the wrong government at the worst possible time or more correctly, our politics has presented us with the worst possible government at the worst possible time. The last election was Hobson's choice, that’s to say we had a choice but there was only ever going to be one outcome. After 14 years of Tory mediocrity and with Reform still in its infancy, power was always going to fall into Keir Starmer’s lap. There was little enthusiasm for Starmer and Labour, only 9 million people voted for them, 33% of the electorate, on a turnout of just 59%. That actually puts the Labour vote at just 19% of the registered voters. 20 million people didn’t even bother to vote, that’s twice the number who voted for Labour. So it has to be said, their huge majority in Parliament is an anomaly of our electoral system. This government does not command the support of the vast majority of our people. It had 19% at the election and after two years of abysmal government I would suggest that it is now likely in single figures. Keir Starmer and Labour came into government with a bag full of outdated ideological goals and no plans to deal with real problems, just the hope that their naive socialist liberalism would magically save us. They said the grown-ups were in the room, well grown-ups sometimes tell fairytales and I’m afraid that’s all we’ve been getting from Starmer and co, fairytales with no prospect of a happy ending. It's difficult to know whether or not those at the top of the Labour Party still believe in the fairytales but it’s pretty clear that there are an awful lot of their backbenchers who still do and they’re happy to keep leading us deeper and deeper into the dark foreboding forest in search of the fairytale castle. They keep saying to themselves, “Just a little bit further now, just past that gingerbread cottage. Maybe we can stop off for a bite to eat.” So yes, the Tin Man may be on his way out but who comes next? The Wicked Witch Angie or the Mad Hatter Ed? Whoever it is, the children at the back will be hanging onto their every word and asking for just one more chapter before bedtime. I only hope that as a country, we manage to make it through to 2029 and the long overdue time to put away the things of childhood.

Labour MP Matt Western: “If there’s one thing I have to say about this Prime Minister is that he is rock solid when it comes to process.” Parliament: 😂 Why make yourself look so daft by defending the indefensible?
