How Starmer's cynicism is driving people to Reform

Another political broadcast on behalf of the one and only alternative party...

Morgan le Fey gender bent but Clark is under his spell...is MI5 still turned off in Downing St because there has been an awful lot of treason going on in our Governments for decades...

At the root of this mess is a voting system that has created two main "broad church" parties that are forever infighting with half always unhappy about the direction their party is heading, forced to choose between supporting their party or being honest. The duplicity this invariably creates is what undermines public trust in politicians. We need a voting system that supports smaller parties so the electorate, not party factions or membership cliques, get to decide how socialist or freemarketeerist the resulting coalition government is. Until then any attempt to drag Labour to the left will see them out of power and a real right wing government take back control. End the broad church nonsense and give voters a real choice at the ballot box.

The people of Wales have put their trust in Labour for a long time and been betrayed. Plaid cant get their head around the FACT that most Welsh, especially those in the densely populated south east of Wales and the Valleys, are very proud of being British, but, they still might vote for an independent Wales IF it wasn't driven by the Welsh language brigade who constantly use the language as a weapon against those who don.t speak it. Fact of the matter is that Welsh I dependence is a middle class movement, ironic, as many of them have gravy train jobs paid for by the English tax payer. As usual the establishment wins. First up against the wall

What escapes Labour is that everyone is fully aware that Starmer doesn’t actually believe in anything. They were only elected, by default, because they Tories were so dire. People seemed to be thinking ‘how could it be worse?’: well now they know.

Living in Dolgellau I see the only way I can vote is Plaid. We have an excellent MP and the Party is more socialist than Labour has been for 20 years.

The lawyer is an Ass...isn't that right Mr and Mrs Bumble...

So there’s not much difference between this Labour and Reform. Both parties are offering what they think people want but have no intention of carrying out their promises. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone formed ‘The Honesty Party’ ?

Personally I would say misleading the labour party to ensure that a non-corbynite became labour leader was not such a bad thing. In our corner of Wales, momentum activists alienated older party members who had been there for 20 odd years. Very argumentive and unwilling to find a middle ground. Cleaning up the labour party post Corbyn has been one of starmer's achievements. After all corbyn was one of the reasons the UK got a hard brexit. After that, the party really been gutted of talented politicians from 2015 onwards and ideally needed another election cycle to formulate workable policies On Brexit, as someone who lives in the EU, I can't see anything beyond some minor technical changes for the foreseeable future. Sorry but labour are being realistic on this

Good article, spot on. Starmer and co have taken the Labour party so far to the right they are indistinguishable from the tories. In so doing he has robbed ordinary people of any mainstream political choices. Farage is filling that void.

Keir Starmer—like all barristers—is a deeply cynical man. You would be too if you’d spent decades wading through the legal system, witnessing first-hand its many absurdities. Labour, desperate to get elected, decided the best way forward was to abandon its principles entirely. Their strategy? Offend no one, inspire even fewer, and rely on the sheer incompetence of the Tories to drift into power unchallenged. And it worked! The problem now is that we have a government as hollow as a cheap chocolate Easter egg, forced to raid pensioners’ heating allowances because they foolishly assumed no Labour government would ever stoop so low—so they never bothered to promise not to. If it weren’t for Mossad and the useful idiots in Welsh Labour, Jeremy Corbyn would have won on a much stronger platform. If you doubt it, watch The Labour Files and ask yourself: who really put up Owen Smith as a decoy? And, more importantly, why did he then quit politics to flog Viagra to Australians with brewer’s droop? Meanwhile, Carwyn Jones was busy grandstanding, insisting that Welsh Labour’s pro-business stance was why it succeeded where Corbyn failed. But the reality is, Labour remains in a death grip—not just from corporate interests but from the same foreign influence that turned the anti-Semitism row into a farcical inquisition. Corbyn was expelled for having met Hamas decades ago, while Margaret Hodge can cheer on Israel’s latest bloodbath without consequence. Now, progressives find themselves up a creek without a paddle, and the first thing in the reactionary right’s crosshairs is our beloved Senedd. It could be fatal. The difference between 1979 and 1997? Thatcherism, and more specifically, privatisation. Back then, Wales was an industrial powerhouse under state ownership—British Leyland, the NCB, British Steel, British Rail. Workers, knowing they’d never had it so good, had no desire to sever the umbilical cord linking them, their unions, and the government. Then came the Milk Snatcher, who tore it all down. The Welsh flirted with nationalism, but now history repeats itself. Over the horizon, here comes Nigel Farage, wielding Trump’s playbook of reindustrialisation, tariffs, and zero immigration. The Welsh will flock to it—not because of some reawakened nationalist spirit, but because they still remember the days when open-cast miners were raking in huge salaries, living in cheap council houses complete with cocktail cabinets, a Ford Granada in the driveway, and two weeks in Benidorm. Since then, it’s been downhill all the way. If only they could go back to not thinking and just extracting coal. PNEUMATIC DRILL, BOYO, PNEUMATIC DRILL. Arthur Scargill, now 86, may yet live to see the pits reopened—not by the left, but by the right, which has finally realised that free markets were a disaster. And where is the left in Wales? Nowhere. Not a word of opposition to this doctrine. Just look at what JD Vance, the US Vice President, said in Munich. The world’s largest economy has abandoned net-zero policies entirely, so why on earth is Wales tying itself in knots over a bypass in Llandeilo? Hot air, indeed. Either the effort was collective, or it was doomed from the start. Reform UK could kill devolution stone dead. But would it really matter? The Welsh never got used to governing themselves anyway—they’ve been dependent on England for too long. Meanwhile, Irish reunification marches forward, with Brexit having economically unified the island already (what exactly was the DUP thinking when they backed Brexit?). Scotland won’t be fooled by Farage’s nonsense, and the SNP will likely be re-elected, still dreaming of shipbuilding in Govan. Under Alex Salmond, they were ahead of their time in climate scepticism—he was never going to let the “It’s Scotland’s Oil” argument be surrendered to the eco-loons. I’d like to say, “It was good while it lasted in Wales.” But let’s not kid ourselves—we all know it never really was.

Labour has somehow managed to alienate the majority of the country within the the first 6 months.. Cutting winter fuel payments. Waging war against farmers. Crippling small businesses by raising taxes in the budget in the wrong manner just to say they haven't U turned on their manifesto. Plus labelling the majority of their red wall far right for being concerned about immigration and terrorism. That's before you take in consideration the performance of the clowns down the Bay.

The only thing driving people to Reform is the fact that they are absolute chancers who simply pretend to care about working people. Remember all the promises we had from the Leave campaign that many of the Reform lot were from about how it would make life better and how much actually came true? The only thing they cared about was getting out of the EU quickly before the UK was subject to EU tax avoidance directives that would have cost a lot of rich people a lot of money. The rest was all bait and switch stuff that conmen use all the time. The sad thing is people are still falling for it. As bad as this Government are, or the previous one was, any Government with Reform in it will be many orders worse.

We need a rescue strategy, who will supply it says Martin. Definitely not Starmer' Labour, a party that will get swept along by any tide - including Farage and Trump. Starmer's soulless politics will destroy Labour and Wales.
