He’s not yet in No 10 but we can track the trajectory of a Starmer government already, starting with the big fat lie that Labour wouldn’t touch Brexit at all. Have a quick look at the print MSM front pages first, where even good old BBC ‘staff’ has to acknowledge this: “Newspaper headlines: Starmer ‘plots to take EU migrants’ and ‘desperate despots’.” (link). This is the ‘plot’:

“A Labour government would accept migrants from Europe as part of a proposed deal with the EU to try to stop the small boats crisis. The party is considering taking a share of asylum seekers reaching Europe in return for the bloc taking back migrants who arrive illegally having crossed the Channel. Senior party figures believe Britain is only likely to secure a returns deal, enabling it to deport Channel migrants, if it offers to share the burden of asylum seekers reaching the continent.” (paywalled link)

Why Starmer thinks that ‘exchanging’ so-called asylum seekers flooding EU countries for dinghy drivers which could be sent back will alleviate the already existing problem of illegal migrants I dunno. I do find it remarkable though that this whole ‘new’ Labour attempt shows unmistakably that it must have been a secret EU policy, post Brexit, to swamp our country with illegal migrants. The graph published in the DT documents this. Moreover, this policy is how Starmer is going to deal with the people smugglers – yes, really:

“Labour sources told The Telegraph any scheme to take migrants from Europe would be capped and tightly managed, potentially through applications in UK embassies or consuls in upstream countries. Those with family already in the UK would be prioritised. Party sources believe that if a returns agreement could be negotiated, it would “collapse” the people smugglers’ business model.” (paywalled link)

It will definitely work: why would ‘poor refugees’ use dinghies to come here, paying people traffickers, when they can come ‘legally’, thanks to the EU-London ‘swop’ deal! What perfect example for ‘getting in by the back door’ – into the EU, that is, while proclaiming at the same time that:

“Labour will not reverse Brexit. That is the message which will be preached from the shadow cabinet in the months ahead as the general election looms ever closer. But so too will another message: Labour wants a closer relationship with the European Union. Changes will be made to improve ties with the continent.” (paywalled link)

Yes, we believe that Brexit is safe in Labour’s hands, don’t we! The Remain machinery in Whitehall will see to it, right? Meanwhile, the trajectory for our country under Labour is becoming more visible. The Times, of which an irreverent comment poster said it ought to print their strapline in Red, has come up with reports on other decisions which took place, e.g.:

“Labour peers killed off a move by ministers to disapply rules that have imposed a moratorium on housebuilding in significant parts of the country. Environmentalists welcomed the decision in the House of Lords, which they said would protect rivers and wildlife from unnecessary pollution. Developers said it would exacerbate Britain’s housebuilding crisis and lead to 16,000 fewer homes being built each year.” (link, paywalled)

Why would “we” need to build more houses  when there’s a nice solution: legislate for home owners to provide room in their big, empty houses for ‘poor refugees’. After all, thanks to the Energy Bill, the Englishmans’ home is no longer his castle and thus all those useless old people – probably all racists anyway – can finally be made to sell their big, empty homes if they don’t want to take in ‘refugee families’. And as bonus “we” can keep our country ‘green, clean and rewilded’. Who needs a Green Party in this country when we have Net Zero.

Meanwhile, there’s a delicate little editorial in The Times, headlined “Germany’s travails are our problem too – The country’s ‘golden decade’ is over and without energy and other reforms the prospects for the continent are grim” (link, paywalled). Not one word in this thing addresses the fact that the policies of the German coalition government, Green, Red and a dash of yellow, has created these problems, on purpose, with their energy bills, the shutdown of all nuclear power stations, and the exorbitant taxation. 

A Red Labour government here, with green, Net Zero policies, will make our country overtake Germany in the downward spiral as quickly as you can say ‘Labour’. Meanwhile, there’s a poll result from Brandenburg, a German Land, where the Red SPD has been in power for 30 years. This poll asked whom people would vote for were the election this Sunday.

The AfD would get 32% of the vote, making it the largest Party, with the SPD only getting 20% of the vote (paywalled link, in German). This, after years of vituperation, of shunning any elected AfD politicians in local and in the national parliament – I dunno: do the Germans know something we don’t? 

That’s all I have for today. I wonder what’ll be next in Labour’s ‘plot’, to make us move closer to the EU while insisting that Brexit is ‘safe in Labour’s hands’. Have a good day.
