Starmer’s Big Speech Promises Nothing but Misery!

Keir Starmer’s first major speech was a disaster, torn apart by commentators for making the easy choices not taking tough decisions. Right, so Keir Starmer this morning made his first major speech since becoming Prime Minister and we all knew it was going to be doom and gloom, we all knew it was going to be all about blaming the last Tory government, we all knew he was going to lay out a load of claims that he was going to have to make tough choices in order to set the country back on course and that things would have to get worse before they got better. Every last bit of it was nonsense, because these aren’t tough decisions Keir Starmer is making, these are the easy choices. There’s nothing easier than just carrying on exactly where the Tories left off, there’s nothing easier than punching down on those already with the least and for Starmer to claim those with the broadest shoulders must carry their share of the burden when we know he’s already chosen to take the path of starving kids and freezing pensioners, this speech was a complete disaster and no wonder it is coming unravelled as quickly as it is. Right, so it’s more austerity for all of us, such is the message from Keir Starmer in his, well hardly widely anticipated first major speech since becoming PM, but we knew he would make one and we knew it would be as bland, boring and insincere as every other speech this plasterboard offcut of a politician has ever made, where he is a completely uncharismatic version of David Cameron and Rachel Reeves is an even more compassion and sympathy devoid version of George Osborne, because the same choices they made, the choices of austerity are being made again now, when it did nothing but fail the country, fail the economy, fail every service we all rely on and we can’t continue to put up with more cuts, more failure because we’re at the point where services will just completely collapse, unable to function any further. But above everything else austerity is a choice and following on from 14 years of it, it is absolutely nothing like the change Starmer promised and it is anything but the making of tough decisions, when there is literally nothing easier than just carrying on making the same easy ones, placating the people who have your ear, the rich, the elite, the lobbyists and inflicting more misery on those without one iota of the same level of influence, the ordinary working class people, the very people the Labour Party was created to serve but should now be more obvious than ever, that that party has well and truly been infiltrated, taken over and absorbed into another soulless husk of a political party there to meet the interests of the establishment and nobody else. It’s very easy to choose to keep kids in poverty, it’s very easy to strip winter fuel payments away from pensioners, all people with scant influence on the national political scene outside of the once every 5 years trip to the ballot. We didn’t get this nonsense rhetoric in 1945, when massive housebuilding, the health of the nation in the creation of the NHS and social security were formed, the rich paying their share, the restoration of the country requiring it. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
