Reform Act
Keir Starmer is terrified of Nigel Farage.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
It’s only the second week of January and already I have great news!
Prime Minister (at time of writing), Keir Starmer, has promised to do the country a solid.
He’s vowed to sack Rachel Reeves, and throw himself off the end of Brighton pier.
I mean, not exactly that, or even vaguely, but I can only assume he’s soon to do both these things, because after yet another hugely successful ‘reset’, which left a triumphant Labour Party surging down to third place in the polls, Starmer has imperiously informed his car crash cabinet,
“I know families across the country are still worried about the cost of living. There will be no let-up in our fight to make life better for them.”
So if Sir Keir really is determined to ‘make life better’ for British families, then the quickest and surest way to achieve that goal, is clearly to follow the prescription above.
Starmer has been out and about in the last few weeks, touring newspaper offices, and TV studios, to nasally make the case for his disastrous government.
At least, I think that was the original intention. But in reality all he has actually done, is reveal exactly how rattled he is, by the threat from Reform.
Piously informing the Observer, (Which is still going apparently. Who knew?)
I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government. With Reform, I worry about what will happen to our country in terms of tearing our communities apart.”
Of course Starmer is not worried about the country under a Tory government.
Why should he be? There isn’t going to be one.
Ever again.
Kemi Badenoch has about as much chance of winning the next election as Zack Polanski has of boosting Britain’s average cup size, using just the hypnotic power of his mind.
(In all fairness, if he puts it in the manifesto, I will probably vote Green)
It seems odd for Keir Starmer to spend so much time fretting that Reform will ‘tear our communities apart’ when his own party, along with the equally culpable, inept, and anti-British Tories, have spent the last twenty five years, doing exactly that.
Importing literally millions of people, often from hostile, incompatible, cultures, into our country, in direct defiance of the British people’s repeated and explicit instruction to do the opposite.
Then compounding the resentment this has understandably caused, by not only falsely claiming that these new arrivals ’have always been here’, but asserting that the native culture they are definitely not replacing, honest, is racist, rapacious, and less than worthless.
And then informing us that the sub optimal quality of British natives doesn’t really matter anyway, since it was exclusively the virtuosity, talent, and genius, of charming, benign, and generous immigrants like Paddington Bear, (Not a real person. In fact, not even a real bear) which ‘built this country’ in the first place.
Claiming that another party represents an existential threat to the British way of life is a bit rich coming from a Prime Minister whose government is ‘laser focused’ on sabotaging our energy grid, dismantling our constitution, ignoring our referendums, ‘decolonising’ our history, abandoning, rather than protecting Jews, pretending men are women, locking up people for refusing to pretend that men are women, ending trial by jury, rescinding our free speech rights, taking away our cars, gerrymandering our elections, giving away our treasure, banning our social media, and shutting down our pubs.
It’s a bit like Bonnie Blue, complaining there’s too much sex on TV.
Starmer also tells us he is ‘concerned’ that Reform has ‘no ideas on the economy whatsoever.’
And to be fair, most commentators agree that this is very much the party’s weak spot.
But still, ‘no ideas’ on the economy, is way, way better, than Labour’s ideas on the economy.
Which basically all boil down to,
Of course one of the progressive left’s favourite charges against Farage is that he is somehow ‘Putin’s puppet’.
A assertion so ridiculous it’s like claiming that a British man born in Britain, in 1964 could somehow grow up to become a member of Germany’s Hitler Youth, which disbanded in Germany, in 1945.
Which is an actual claim made by Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister (I know, I know) David Lammy, whose grasp of history is so tenuous, he once claimed that the Nobel Prize for Physics had been awarded to Marie Antoinette.
(Idiot. Everyone knows she actually got it for Economics)
Sticking to his theme, Starmer has also tried to smear Farage by suggesting that Reform is reluctant to ‘investigate’ how its one-time leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, ended up getting convicted of taking bribes from the Russians.
And again, fair enough, that does seem more than a little suspect.
But it’s maybe a teeny tiny bit massively hypocritical of Keir Starmer to accuse another party leader of ‘blocking an investigation’, when he himself imposed a three line whip on his own MPs to prevent a national inquiry into Labour’s very own ‘grooming gangs’ scandal.
And now that’s he’s been shamed into holding one, thanks in part to the interventions of the world’s richest man Elon Musk (Boo! something something X, something something bikinis, something something toxic masculinity, something something Andrew Tate), seems to be doing everything in his fading power, to nobble that very investigation, marginalise the victims, and fix the results.
But having said all that, maybe Starmer is justified in his outrage.
After all, Gill did accept a £40,000 bribe from a dodgy Russian businessman, to do his bidding in the EU parliament. And rightly received a ten year sentence for his treachery.
Though that does make you wonder what sort of sentence Starmer himself will receive, when, under Britain’s fair, one tier justice system, he inevitably appears in court charged with accepting a £32,000 bribe in kind, from dodgy British businessman Wahid Alli, to presumably, do his bidding in Westminster.
I’m joking of course.
(Yes lawyers!! This is definitely a joke!! And is clearly labelled as such!)
It was all very different in Starmer’s case.
For some reason I simply can’t fathom.
Starmer himself hardly makes a very convincing patriot.
Not only is he happy to shower our nation’s enemies with billions upon billions of pounds of British taxpayers’ money, on the proviso they take strategically important overseas territories off our hands, and give them to China.
And then lie about it to parliament.
But Starmer is also obsessed with his ongoing, personal jihad to overthrow democracy, and force Britain back into the smothering, ossifying embrace of the sclerotic EU.
An antagonistic, hostile, colonialist, foreign power, which seeks, with quisling Starmer’s eager assistance, to once again, dictate our laws, siphon away our cash, puppet our politicians, stifle our industries, flood us with ‘asylum seekers’, influence our elections, and nick all our fish.
Starmer is keen to contrast Farage’s invented Russophile tendencies, with his own steadfast defiance of Germany’s trusted energy supplier monstrous Russian demagogue, Vladimir Putin.
Proudly boasting how he has shackled our make nothing, own nothing, build nothing, defend nothing country, to a ‘coalition of the willing’, ready to stand steadfast against the Russian bear.
But instead of making him look tough, determined and statesmanlike, his po-faced posturing, like that of pompous pompadour Emmanuel Macron, merely comes across as self satisfied, vainglorious, and simply embarrassing.
I wholeheartedly support the right of Ukraine, a sovereign, independent country, to defend its borders, people, and interests, but when I see Starmer, Macron, and Zelensky together at a press conference, they seem less like three world leaders, resolutely defying tyranny. And more like the fading members of a D-list boyband, say 911, or Blazin’ Squad, (apologies to any members of 911, or Blazin’ Squad reading this), teaming up, to announce a comeback tour.

This might be a ‘coalition of the willing’.
But it is certainly not a coalition of the able.
The reality is that none of the once great European powers, France, England, or, OK then, Germany, are even capable of policing their own borders, let alone defending an entire continent.
Having squandered their riches on decades of increasingly bloated entitlements, aid budgets, benefits, and social programmes.
Increasingly these eye wateringly expensive welfare programmes aren’t even for the benefit of their own peoples, but are showered on anyone from anywhere in the world who simply turns up on their shores.
This largesse has forced our European leaders to cower behind American aprons, and rely on its munificence to protect their actual citizens, from belligerent actors in their own back yard.
This might have been a workable tactic when the White House was occupied by fellow invertebrates like Barak Obama, and Joe Biden’s auto-pen, but is less of a winning strategy now that Pennsylvania Avenue is home to an America First nationalist, like Donald Trump.
Who, for some unaccountable reason, seems far more interested in events in Caracas, Venezuela (2,125 miles from Washington DC), than those happening in Kiev, Ukraine. ( 5,857 miles from Washington DC).
Of course his impotence does not prevent Starmer stomping around the world stage like Billy Big Boots, boasting during his Economist interview that he is
‘drawing up plans [to] help and defend the peace in Ukraine’.
What does he mean by ‘drawing up plans’?
I’m currently ‘drawing up plans’ to get snowed in for two weeks, in a Swiss skiing chalet, with Sydney Sweeney.
That doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.
This might be unfair, but it does seem, that on some level, Starmer and Macron (along with sour faced EU matriarch Ursula Von der Leyen, of course) are prepared to let the bloodshed continue a little longer, as long they get to maintain the farce that they have a role in formulating its conclusion.
Jumped-up jingoist, Keir Starmer might claim that Britain will
‘make a significant contribution to the defence of Ukraine and the defeat of Vladimir Putin’.
But it’s obvious that Britain lacks the resources to make any meaningful intervention in this conflict.
As I’ve noted many times before, there are now more people in British jails than there are men in the British army, and about one and a half times as many ‘asylum seekers’ siphoning away the resources of this country, than there are soldiers defending them.
Sabre-rattling saddo Starmer talks about ‘boots on the ground’ (a phrase I detest only slightly less than ‘broadest shoulders’. These aren’t ‘boots’ you are playing with Sir Keir, these are young men’s lives), yet any troops he does manage to send to Ukraine will be few in number, ill equipped, and backed up by nothing but thin air.
And now warmongering weirdo, Sir Keir is even talking about sending British troops to protect Greenland.
Whether from Russia, or the Americans, he doesn’t say.
Right now, the most clear and present danger facing our ‘hollowed out’ armed forces comes not from the Russians, but from a fifth column of anti-British human rights lawyers, headed by Starmer’s own Attorney General, Lord Hermer.
Since Starmer’s old pal, and legal representative of both Gerry Adams, and Shamima Begum, seems intent on rewarding British veterans who fought for King and Country by besmirching their reputations, handing their social housing to ‘refugees’, and prosecuting them for war crimes.
Finally, Starmer’s most damning charge against Reform is that they are ‘populists’.
Of course relentlessly smearing people, like me, who believe in actually honouring the results of elections, and referendums, as ‘populists,’ allows our ruling elites an excuse, (as if they ever needed one) to dismiss the concerns, wants, aspirations, preoccupations, traditions, and culture, of normal, hard working, patriotic, Britons (wherever they were originally from), as irrelevant, bovine, vulgar, bigoted, and yes, of course, ‘far-right’.
Just like their increasingly shrill assertion that free speech rights should only be extended to those who agree with them, the Guardianistas believe that the riff-raff should only be permitted to vote for politicians and policies, of which they themselves approve.
That’s if we are to be permitted to vote at all.
We have discovered this week our anti-democratic Labour government is inviting even more Labour councils to cancel elections in areas where Reform is currently topping the polls.
With Communities Secretary Steve Reed (a key Starmer loyalist btw) offering sixty three areas the ‘opportunity‘ to deny Reform the chance to win delay their elections so that they may ‘concentrate on local government reorganisation’.
A ‘reorganisation’ which, from what I can tell, mainly entails gerrymandering constituency boundaries, denying Farage momentum, and switching from a British voting system where Reform is likely to win, to adopting a more European one (who’d have thought it?!?) where Reform is more likely to lose.
Our far-left progressive overlords can pretend they are attacking Reform’s economic policies, or are worried about ‘Russian interference,’ they can throw around insults and slurs about ‘populists’, and conjure up urgent excuses to redraw the electoral map to their own advantage.
But it’s obvious that the main reason that they are running scared of the Reform project, is that it might actually be the first political movement, since our abortive Brexit, to genuinely threaten the primacy of the liberal, globalist, uni-party consensus which has misgoverned, impoverished, and enshittified Great Britain, since back when we first heard the name ‘Tony Blair’.
It’s a project which might conceivably usher in a government which actually puts the needs of regular law abiding, tax paying British citizens above those of foreigners, far left activists, international bodies, grievance grifters, kiddie fiddling creeps, Whitehall mandarins, Islamists, EU stooges, joyless censors, environmental rent seekers, and human rights lawyers.
And understandably, that terrifies them.
Whatever you think of Nigel Farage, (and despite what you might assume after reading this piece, I do remain a bit of sceptic), if there’s even a 5% chance that he can actually make any of this happen, then that alone seems reason enough to vote for him.
Plus of course, Sir Keir Starmer clearly hates, detests, and fears him, and honestly, that’s probably good enough for me.

Interesting. Shame about the vaccine tsar.
Starmer's terror of Reform betrays him. He is a weathervane, he believes in nothing whatsoever. Starmer has no principles, no moral compass, no guiding philosophy beyond 'big state' and he doesn't even understand that.
The continual outright lies of 'we want to grow the economy/we're making you better off' is now boring and even the dumbest know it is trite.
However, don't underestimate the stupidity of the average person. The state will lie to them - Miliband does this continually - and they'll still call for the same person holding the whip to be given the club as well and that idiot voter won't understand why not only are they bleeding but their bones have been broken (mostly because they're the sort of voter insulated from the consequences of the decisions they inflict on others).
Bluntly, this government must be removed. They serve at our whim. They cannot be permitted to continue.
