Labour Party

  • Conservatives berate Labour

    The Conservatives under Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives) have weighed in on the international crisis engulfing the Labour government by calling time on Burnham’s premiership.

    “The Labour party is morally bankrupt and broken. It doesn’t have the wherewithal to govern with and has lost its sense of direction.

    We are ready to govern. We have a top leadership team with a mandate ready to go with from day one.”

    Conservatives/Public Release.

    Leading front bench MPs from the official opposition’s benches have called on Burnham to resign and for a general election to be called.

    This comes after a statement by the Foreign Secretary that accuses Israel of crimes against humanity and suggests the UK government will sanction Israel for its ‘settler’ security operations in West Bank.

  • Reform UK slams Labour

    Reform UK have criticised rivals Labour as an anti-democratic party that’s driven by boardroom politics as it responds to a zealous new policy to sanction Israel for its activities in the West Bank region.

    “Reform UK sees the Israel issue as separate to foreign policy. A global matter like that is subject to review by many international bodies, not to be a sole focus for anyone, and is never a reason to hate Israel or deny a Jew a life there.

    Reform UK stands by a common sense platform rooted in the present and respectful of the past.

    We don’t deny, however, that Labour has pursued an anti-Semitic purge of its party ranks before, and this stands as a witness to what it’s doing now, and also using a nationwide platform to enact a purge on Israeli interests.

    This is where we are because of Labour. Many universities support Labour because they take a fascist line on things.

    Fascism is now recognised by what it’s like to live with someone, and this is what it’s like with Labour. No tolerance and a dictatorial view of things.”

    Reform UK/Press Release.

    Even as Palestine Action faces a Supreme Court showdown in November, and an end to protest is called for more and more across the country, Labour has today pressed ahead with punitive measures against the Jewish state.

    Law enforcement authorities are privately concerned that lazy administration in Labour party offices is also leading to a mischaracterisation of local branch wishes as expressed by members by themselves in meetings.

  • Gov. approval up

    The changeover to a Burnham government has come with a slight bounce for Labour’s approval rating in government.

    According to YouGov, Burnham has 21% approval against 55% disapproval, an improvement of 4% and 6% apiece since July 20, when Starmer left office.

  • Gov. dithering has got to stop – Opinion

    Just as the UK begins to regain control of its borders and policing enterprise, crisis after crisis hits us. The crimewaves that have become a part of our daily lives are dampening public enthusiasm for politics at the highest level.

    Starmer will rue the day he didn’t seek a more definitive end to the small boats, and Burnham will be in the same position if he doesn’t make quick progress on the domestic matters that are worrying the British public, as well as the European migration meltdown.

    Just look at the state of the prisons service, and you’ll see why communities are fretting over their safety. The regime of sentencing has taken a dive in recent times as backlogs have increased and the inmate population has reached breaking point.

    Mismanagement is seen to be at the heart of all these issues. The professions have heeded bleating from a cabal of fake human rights lawyers and ineffective government departments, and victims and relatives denied justice have been told to wait longer.

    It’s a simple exercise in policy and good judgement, but our elected representatives haven’t come together to put Britain first to stop the ridiculous proposal of early release, speed up building projects, and end delays. These are soundings of a madhouse, not a powerful office of state or its cabinet.

  • Burnham MP brings a revival of ignorance

    For nearly two years, Sir Keir Starmer MP (Holborn and St Pancras/Labour) has been urged to take the whole of the country out of a mess rather than just to pursue his narrow aims while in office. However, the beneficiaries of his efforts are scattered among the population as single people groups with causes but no whole-society issue.

    Andy Burnham MP (Makerfield/Labour) is coming up the rear to takeover mid-way through and has placed Manchester at the centre of his priorities. Again, the next phase of a Labour revival isn’t seeking a broadening of proposals, but is suggestive of a narrow focus on niche Labourite problems.

    Hillsborough is Netflix material by now, and any justice that’s gained has been so in sacrifice of time for fundamental policy initiatives for the country. The accumulation of social causes presents a public court of law over a Parliament for the public.

    In hindsight, while Labour will celebrate having raised it to national attention, to support its passage as an agenda-setting moral, the creaking infrastructure of the State needs looking at, and bigger threats to National Security are still out there, waiting to be tackled.

  • A mismanagement crisis has led to Starmer’s exit

    The Prime Minister hasn’t gone. His duties will dry up, but the engagement of a new incumbent isn’t set to kick in until a new candidate has been confirmed. As it stands, no one is yet in line to takeover the UK’s most powerful political office.

    In retrospect, Sir Keir Starmer MP (Holborn and St Pancras/Labour) has a lot to be chuffed over. As a politician, he’s been successful. As a leader, he hasn’t necessarily been a total disaster. His ‘Plan For Change’ has resulted in some benefits.

    At the heart of this, however, is a crisis of mismanagement at the governmental centre. These take a while to unpack, and yet eventually we’ll discover the precise reasons why it felt apart for him. Clearly, he was going to continue on.

    His response to the small boats crisis has been professional. Ministers have moved about to deal with bits and pieces of it. Their offices have engaged on a matter beyond most people’s capability. It stands to reason it’s his real achievement. The rest lacks in actual statecraft.

  • Streeting offers the credible option, but Starmer won’t leave

    Wes Streeting MP (Ilford North/Labour) is offering his best work for the first real projected attempt to dethrone the Prime Minister. Just as his leadership is under question by major Ministerial departures, and crisis after crisis has not seen resolution, there are Labour figures chomping at the bit.

    Streeting gave his best effort at articulating an economic vision yesterday, and in some corridors is quietly whispered about as Labour’s best chance at returning from meandering on the world stage to focus on local places.

    Ukraine, Iran, and Israel are wearying voters, already tired of seeing out protest groups that take attention away from the real matters of life. Streeting wants to focus on work that’s on offer, not pipe dreams or new fields of play.

    But, after a landslide win and nearly halfway there, Starmer is settled and maybe even getting control over matters. As far as he sees it from his side, a trip to Evian is worth it for a G7 meeting, even if Belfast burns and Russia fires on the Channel. He’s confident of his position, and Streeting has a way to go.

  • Is Starmer a victim of misfires?

    The dropout rate of Starmer University is increasing. Now, John Healey MP (Rawmarsh and Conisbrough/Labour) has left as Defence Secretary.

    It’s about funding, and the issue seems likely to be entwined with HM Treasury. But it’s Starmer University that gets the parting shot.

    I can’t carry on. I’ve got to go. You haven’t delivered.

    Off Healey drops.

    This isn’t the first (it wasn’t the last). Is there more to come? Goodness knows, a class walkout might be in order. What a dire year for the institution we know (and love…).

  • Caught: Labour party “lead” criminal

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a criminal activist alleged of “running” the Labour party due to the prevalence of criminal characters in its membership and also senior positions has now been identified.

    A suspect
    A suspect alleged of misdemeanours in political realms seen here in a central London location.

    The suspect is alleged to use flashpoint issues like Gaza and reparations to stir up anger, and to provoke responses then used by commercial news media companies in London to agitate communities for assets and other stolen goods.

    Increasing anger

    The situation in London and elsewhere in regard to politics has been deteriorating for some time. It’s believed agitators in Intelligence and some Policing remits have made the problem worse by providing insight to criminals on how to anger UK citizens to create conflicts.

    Particularly older workers have indulged in creating havoc and using career links to others in the government network. This has spread discomfort for many in staffing realms because of the potential for physical altercations, and therefore a less safe working climate.

  • Starmer vs Blair is a paper-thin view of things

    The fallout between Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Tony Blair is a blockbuster event for Labour diehards, but for the rest of us it’s just a squabble between the two.

    The malaise in Labour is not going to be corrected, even in the lifespan of two of its Prime Minister’s, by petty differences that are usually based on language and nuance.

    Labour face a crisis of trust, not in its belief system, but in its ability to get the job done. Every crisis needs to be ended, and every plan needs a first step. This is what voters can’t see in the politics of the day.

  • A coalition is whistling on the wind

    It’s been hinted a coalition may be on the cards if a general election were held soon. It could be a Conservative-Liberal Democrat repeat by one estimation, or a Conservative-Reform tie up in others.

    The former isn’t favourable to the ambitious Tory ranks, where fervour is high for a renewed policy push. The Reformers may not be a good option either, knowing what comes in toe.

    Unlikely as it may sound to these theorists, Starmer isn’t done yet – and Badenoch isn’t giving up. She hasn’t lost her nerve for a plan to keep it together, stay moving, and campaign for it outright.

  • Starmer survives, but some want him out

    The Prime Minister has avoided being forced to appear before the Privileges Committee, therefore surviving his leadership and leaving him to focus on his Plan For Change in government.

    MP’s voted 335 to 223 against the motion, suggesting the PM enjoys some broad support, even if a small number of Labour MP’s continue to criticise his tenure.

  • For Starmer, it’s a problem all too familiar

    It’s not often brought up that Civil Servants also have their own beliefs, views, and opinions because the Service is supposed to be free of such prejudicial party politics. It’s not however considered that some people become more familiar than others, and it may have been this that prejudiced a decision to clear Peter Mandelson when he shouldn’t have been given it.

    It’s not so much an issue of the party, but it can be a result of the party’s interaction in Whitehall, for instance, and in wider government. The name recognition of some people has helped them in their careers immensely, and it’s no different for Peers and those that appear in the news media often.

    This in itself is a currency of acceptance that may have persuaded some to overlook concerns that were flagged but may have seemed out of character for Mandelson. If he did need more rigour in the vetting there is a question over why it hadn’t been raised before, or volunteered as information by someone in the Intelligence services.

    The Labour party is run by its ability to get things done with the people it’s got and the absence of Mandelson may have looked like too large a gap to leave. In the political calculations of those nearer to the action, perhaps such a denial would be too late in his career, not serve the interests of the country, and deny a stronger candidate a place in an admittedly fraught period of time.

  • Exclusive: Mayor Burnham caught out

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, and in a disturbing development for devolved politics in the UK, Mayor Burnham is now implicated in a car theft sting operation that has been underway in London and across the South East, led by Police but also the National Crime Agency.

    His part to play is said to stretch back to his days as an MP, and also extends through his official appointments, and even into his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester. He’s believed to be classified as a career criminal, albeit some investigations are still pending and this cannot be confirmed.

    The flashpoint in this investigation has been a sighting of Mayor Burnham in a car (pictured) with a known accomplice, in an apparent rendezvous outside a cafe in which a further accomplice to the crime had been meeting with a known car jacker. This thief is prolific in the East of London.

    A further suspected accomplice

    The circumstances confirm reports that he has previously frequented crime hotspots in the capital to support his bid to takeover some crime routes in Manchester, but also further North to support his “investment” in the racket that has engulfed some communities in misery, and led to internal investigations in car companies such as sales forecourts.

    Mayor Burnham has been a figurehead of devolved politics in England ever since his election to the Mayoralty of Manchester, and had been a key player in the national Labour party up until a recent internal vote blocked him from standing in a by-election. It’s believed he’s being sidelined because of his criminal activity.

  • Westminster Week: Best efforts

    Wednesday

    The Prime Minister says “My legacy is changing my party”, but meaning his effort to change it, not his other efforts. It’s an honest admission from him, but frankly weak considering a time of waning conservatism on the other side. He’d find it more difficult in a vigorous era.
