Keir’s chaos: Scandals, freebies & fist fights as ministers run amok! – London Business News | London Wallet

Angela Rayner, stamp duty dodge, forced her to quit. That was the starter pistol on Starmer’s circus. If the Deputy PM can’t keep her own tax affairs straight, what chance has she got running the country!?

Rogues gallery

And the chaos doesn’t begin and end with Rayner’s tax fiddle. Andrew Gwynne, booted out for racist and sexist filth in his messages. Rushanara Ali, kicked out after shafting her tenant. Louise Haigh’s fraud conviction from years back, exposed.

Then there’s now former MP Mike Amesbury, convicted of assault over a drunken street brawl. What a disgrace! The first by-election of this Parliament caused by thuggery, not policy.

This isn’t a government, it’s a rogues’ gallery.

Freebies galore

And while Britain grafts, Labour guzzles. Keir Starmer himself, Arsenal’s directors’ box, Taylor Swift concerts, race meetings. His ministers, at it too, hoovering up freebies like they’re going out of fashion.

Only when the heat came on did Starmer cough up thousands to make things look respectable. Pensioners lose their winter fuel allowance, but the Labour elite are clinking champagne glasses at the Emirates. You couldn’t make it up.

Policies from hell

Policy, don’t get me started. OUTRAGEOUS. Strip the elderly of heating cash. Slap a giant National Insurance raid on employers. Punish anyone who dares create jobs. And don’t get me started on the damage the Employment Rights Bill will do to businesses when it’s rammed into law.

This isn’t fairness, it’s economic vandalism.

Anti business to the core

And then there’s the threats. Inheritance tax hikes. Capital gains raids. Even a new wealth tax. Starmer calls it responsible, I call it a mugging.

These people don’t understand business, never have. At best, they’re ignorant. At worst, they’re flat out anti business.

Unions call the shots

Meanwhile, who’s really in charge? Quite obviously the answer is the trade unions. Within weeks of Labour’s election win, train drivers and doctors pocketed inflation busting pay rises. Now they’re back, demanding more.

Of course they are, Labour can’t say no. It’s ransom politics. The union bosses click their fingers and Starmer jumps.

Debt spiral

And let’s look at the UK’s debt. Borrowing is through the roof. The markets aren’t daft, Government bond rates hit 5.62 percent last week. That’s more than many mortgages.

Every rise means billions extra just to pay the interest on the country’s national debt. And it’s the taxpayer left footing the bill for Labour’s addiction to spending.

Total chaos

So tally it up, Ministers sacked and disgraced, MPs brawling in the street, Freebies galore for the political class, Pensioners punished, Businesses hammered, Unions in the driving seat, Debt spiralling, Taxes going one way, UP.

Starmer promised competence. What we’ve got is chaos. A grubby circus where the clowns are on the take, the strongmen are knocking people about on the street, and the ringmaster has no idea how to keep the tent from falling down.

The final insult

Rayner’s scandal was not an isolated incident. Amesbury’s conviction shows the rot runs deep. The markets smell it. Business knows it. And the public are left wondering how long before the whole rotten show collapses.

Labour said they’d restore trust. Instead, they’ve turned government into a punch up, a piss up, and a pocket picking of the nation’s wallet.

And the final insult, they expect us to thank them for the privilege.
