The dizzying dishonesty of Keir Starmer
If the polls are to be believed, Keir Starmer is about to become the next UK prime minister. And yet, no one seems to know what the Labour leader actually stands for. He poses as a man of honesty and integrity. But his short political career suggests otherwise. From Brexit to gender to the economy, he has happily promised one thing and then done another. He has swung wildly between seemingly contradictory positions, betraying democracy, women’s rights and his own alleged principles in the process. Here, Tom Slater argues that Starmer is easily one of the slipperiest, most untrustworthy politicians of his generation - a man who either doesn’t believe in anything, or is willing to say almost anything in order to get into power. Britain may be about to find out that a man who believes in nothing can be a very dangerous thing. Watch, share and let us know what you think in the comments.

The civil service don’t help, just look at Sue Gray. Look Angela Rayner, David Lammy, Emily Thornberry, Diane Abbott, Shabana Mahmood, Liz Kendall, Ed Miliband, etc. None of them have any experience of life. The Peter principle applies. If they have large majority, it will be chaos.

When Starmer became the leader of the Labour party in April 2020 I wrote of my thought in the Facebook Labour group. I wrote that; my gut feeling was that he was untrustworthy, lacking in morality and would say anything to gain power. My intellect told me that he was clever but would use that cleverness for his own advancement and therefore I believe the Labour party has made a huge mistake in choosing him. The reaction to that comment was interesting. Many said; "Give him a chance" but most laughed and ridiculed me causing me to leave the group. I still stand by my assessment. There is no integrity in politics anymore and anyone who still believes there is, is living in fantasy land. I don't care where a truth comes from or who happens to say it, I only care that I recognise a truth when I hear it - on that note; "At one time politics was about trying to 'doing something,' today however, it's about trying to 'be someone' Margret Thatcher.

Sometimes you need what you don't want. I think Keir Starmer will make an excellent Prime Minister. Unfortunately, he has had to do what he's has to do to make Labour electable, not because he likes what he's doing. Media is largely Tory-dominated media which will jump on anything to discredit Labour. Keir has been forced to suppress some of what he believes in but hasn't outright denied it. Labour, despite their good intentions, failed in 2019 to win any seat. He's had to change tactics for a chance of winning.
