Starmer’s Bruised Ego Sees Him Fleeing From His Haters!

Right, so what on Earth does Keir Starmer think he’s doing? How the heck does he think he’s going to get away with a stunt like this? He’s giving his political rivals a field day and he ends up becoming more hated than ever and he is now apparently the most hated Prime Minister in modern British history, which given the actions of other notable examples, certainly within my lifetime, that’s quite the achievement in less than 6 months in power, but then what do you expect from a guy without a single redeeming feature whatsoever, who has lied all the way to get where he is today and he’s come unstuck as liars always do. No amount of resets or relaunches will fix that when the one constant in the equation is the biggest issue for most voters these days and that is Starmer himself.
So how to deal with those voters? Well how about taking their vote away from them so they can’t have a say about Starmer anymore? How about cancelling the local elections he’s running severely scared of given the seats he’s been losing and the scale of the losses in by-elections triggered in the aftermath of the General Election, because if the public see the scale of the hatred, or worse, his own party, then they might come for him. Resorting to dictatorship masked as reform is the last resort of a dying and completely anti-democratic administration. If Starmer thought he was hated before, try denying people the ability to send a message to you, you’ve seen nothing yet Keith.
Right, so that was Jim McMahon there, the Local Government Minister trying to defend the indefensible, by trying to hide behind reforms to local authorities as an excuse to see some of those elections not happen, basically placing the ball in the court of those councils as to whether they would want to elect to what he calls a shadow body whilst reforms to council areas is completed, the white paper McMahon referred to being the English Devolution White Paper, which proposing changes to local authorities, granting them new powers, reforming them into what are being called strategic authorities, but all in all it just amounts to a moving around of the goal posts, these aren’t dramatic changes that should inhibit either the functioning of the local or unitary authorities, they still have to carry on despite the changes happening, electing the people still running the show whilst these reforms are ongoing makes no difference to the process at all, council still need councillors, who they are can still be decided at the right time, but in the name of these reforms, Starmer and Co are attempting to kick local elections down the road for another year or two which completely smacks of an attempt to run away from what Starmer knows would be catastrophically bad results for Labour under his leadership and hopes by stalling them, his party will have turned the country around and people will be a lot happier and will vote Labour again.
What he doesn’t get is that he is the biggest problem Labour have and delaying now frankly I think will make matters worse, not only because this is completely undemocratic, cowardly and dictatorial move by Starmer to wrest control away from the people, to deny them their say in who runs their local areas, local services for no other reason than to protect himself from bad results, is him. People hate Keir Starmer. He lied to get elected Prime Minister, he’s torn up the promises he made going into the election and has changed the goalposts there. Nobody voted for him to do that, nobody voted for him to deny them their vote in upcoming local elections, he just keeps on lying, keeps on proving what a dishonest charlatan of a man he is, right down to the word change not meaning change at all, but literally the same as the 14 years of the Tories we’ve already suffered under.
What is happening here is entirely subjective. Councils will still be running right up until the time various wards or boundaries become amalgamated into new strategic authorities, but the way McMahon presented this in the House of Commons yesterday, implies there is an element of choice on the part of the councils in question. Here’s an excerpt from Skwawkbox’s article titled ‘Frit Starmer cancels 2025 local elections to avoid trouncing’ that spells McMahon’s response – and there fore Starmer’s – out:
‘However, asked today by a Tory MP whether he was willing to rule out such cancellations, McMahon still wriggled and claimed to be direct while still padding his language as much as he could, but admitted that’s the plan:
“In all things I try to be direct, and I have been direct in saying that if those councils that come to the Government with a request for reorganisation meet the test and have a credible programme in place, the elections will likely not take place until the year after, because they will be postponed to elect the shadow authority that would replace the county and the districts. We are clear on that. To give the hon. Lady assurance, there will not be a mass cancelling of elections for the sake of it.”
‘There will not be a mass cancellation for the sake of it’, but all councils that ‘credibly’ come forward – again entirely subjective – will not have local elections next May. McMahon’s logic is unsound – presumably he knows it – because local elections can easily be held in plenty of wards and districts that would not exist by the time the full term was served, to ensure voters are not denied their say.’
Absolutely right and of course that spells out in no uncertain terms what an undemocratic, opportunistic and completely unnecessary move it is to move forward with any cancellations.
Who will be the ones most like to cancel? Well, Labour held authorities obviously. They will be the ones who will vote to not hold elections and it would surprise me not one little bit if we find out at some point down the line that Labour held authorities are getting leaned on right now to cancel, thereby preventing Labour losing control of any authorities they hold. The story will be about councillors they do lose elsewhere, but they wont lose local power and they will mitigate the damage done, because Starmer is so afraid of bad results of which I, like many others having been saying could well be historically bad for the Labour Party, such is the level of hatred for this liar we’re stuck with as Prime Minister.
He has also gifted his opponents an open goal over this. For as much as Labour are being told that carrying on as they are, by trying to out fash the fascists, all they are actually doing is helping them in the long run and that fear that Starmer’s inability to do anything meaningful despite having a transformative majority if he chose to do that, by doing nothing instead, by wasting the opportunity he has to really make something of this country, he is ushering in an even more hard right government, helpfully aided and abetted by the mainstream media, who of course are platforming the objections of the likes of Nigel Farage and his private company masquerading as a political party, Reform UK Ltd and the scary thing is, with that setup, should Farage be elected PM, he literally would br a dictator, since there is no democracy within his own sham of a party, let alone would there be under his regime running the country as increasingly loos to be a possibility thanks to Keir Starmer being so petty and self serving.
Whist the right wing rags fixate on Farage and various Tory mouthpieces though, Ellie Chowns of the Green Party put McMahon on the spot over this White Paper in terms of democracy and well, she didn’t exactly get an acceptable answer:
Devolution she agreed with, so McMahon spoke about an example of devolved powers. It’s not democratic, it’s little wonder in so many cases in recent months where local by-elections have been held the Green Party have eaten into Labour’s vote, but you won’t see examples like that question from a Green MP in mainstream media, because they don’t get the press, yet there is someone asking a relevant question in the interests of constituents and not themselves, a huge difference between the likes of Farage braying about Starmer being a dictator, when I think he would be one too given the chance and he’s got a real chance. This story should make Starmer hated far more and not in any way less and I fully expect Labour’s fortunes to keep worsening the more they play petty games with power instead of using it to make this country better. There is scant sign they have the desire or talent to do either.
Meanwhile, this is just the latest scandal befalling Starmer, as reforms to the legal system have got people up in arms too and with Starmer’s past track record as a barrister and a KC no less, this move to get court case backlogs down by removing what is one of the key pillars of justice itself, well, people just can’t believe Starmer is the one doing it!
