What has Kier Starmer Ever Done for Us?

I was watching Aaron Bastani/Novara Media's latest video above. Even though he is a Socialist, I like Aaron. He comes to the party without the batshit crazy socialism that infests the left at the moment. 

He went to Runcorn, to view how things are shaping up for the local election for their MP is shaping up.

For a Labour-Supporting Socialist, it wasn't good news. Labour was roundly criticised for for reneging on promises made before the election and cutting the Winter Fuel allowance. I guess it was hard to listen to, but not entirely unexpected. 

A further problem is what has Labour done for Runcorn, both locally and Nationally? How has Labour improved the lives of Runcorn residents. Locally nothing, as Aaron toured areas with boarded up shops and a run-down shopping centre. You'd think that the local Labour controlled council would be able to manage the environment around them. Like many local councils in the North West, Halton Borough Council overseeing Runcorn demands very much in council tax, but delivers very little in return.

Runcorn is a staunch Labour seat, the 16th most secure Labour seat in the country out of 640. It's pretty much voted Labour for decades. But now, the race is very close, with some saying that the Reform party could swing a win. You'd think that would be an immense shock to the Labour machine, but I don't think it would be.

In Aaron's interviews, there were a couple of staunch Labour supporters, that even given the missteps of the past 12 months and the prior lies used to get in power, they still thought that Labour were doing a good job, just not communicating the good work they were doing effectively enough. Hmm, that's a stretch: I can't for the life of me think of anything positive the Labour party have done in the nearly 12 months in power.

That's despite cutting the winter fuel allowance, enanthema to Labour supporters prior to last year's election. That's despite Labour claiming the working class of Southport are all Far-Right and putting them in jail for retweets and X posts. The working class that Labour were formed to champion. That's despite the Labour party aiming to reduce thew welfare bill.

Also don't forget that Runcorn is 30-ish miles away from the Muslim Rape Gangs of Greater Manchester and Southport, where the little girls were killed (and the natives went apeshit about it and were called far right by Starmer). Immigration is a big issue in the North West.

The notes in the Aaron Bastani interview were ones of a Labour party that no longer supports the working class, a Labour Party that lied to get into power, a Labour party that wants to reduce the welfare state. Exactly what the Tories traditionally aim for. The final point being that there isn't any point in the working class voting for Labour or Tory, so why not vote Reform, to shake things up a bit and make people take notice. Every time Starmer opens his mouth, it's not to support the working class, it's to suppress them. It's not to prioritise their needs in the face of oppressive capitalists, instead it prioritises immigrants over the indigenous. 

I think Aaron's interviews sum up the state of UK politics and the Labour party in particular succinctly.

The Labour party have been a net negative for the UK, their message is a huge ball of negativity too. Big black holes, there's absolutely nothing we can do, it's all the Tory's fault, if you disagree with me you are far right, if you complain you will go to prison.

Right now the Labour approval rating has fallen off the ship, has sunk to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and is still down there digging a deeper hole. It can't be worse.

Reform can only gain massive support. Rishi Sunak's Tory party and Kier Starmer's Labour party have both conspired to ablate confidence in the political status quo of the UK. 

People are ready for real change. They will vote for Reform, because they have no other choice. No one is listening, no one is positively making a difference. It's the same-old-same-old.

The migrant issue may not be the cause, but successive government's lack of action and failure to get a grip of the immigrant issue has made it a singular hill that the two-party system will die on. 

You have to ask why? Why have successive governments failed to act. Why have they failed to take the actions necessary to stop the dinghies or allow the removal of illegal immigrants?

If removal of the UK from the ECHR is necessary, why has it not been done? If UK legislation is the issue, why has it not been changed? 

You also have to ask: What has Kier Starmer, or the Labour Party done for the UK in their 12 months of tenure?
