BUYER'S REMORSE

While many people correctly surmised that the huge petition that gathered pace over the weekend would not result in any form of systemic change, it has undoubtedly turned up the pressure dial on Keir Starmer.  Our part-time PM faced awkward questions upon his return to work this week, and while he squirmed in the face of media questioning, his strategy became clear - blame all those who didn't vote Labour.

Now we all know that there are voters up and down these lands who put their cross next to Labour candidates in July and who are now regretting that decision.  Starmer's plummeting approval rating and Labour's tanking in the polls are both indicative of buyer's remorse.  When he took office, Labour were enjoying a double digit lead - anywhere from 10-19 points depending on the poll - but that poll lead began to shrink rapidly, up to the point that some pollsters now have the Tories in the lead.

That is quite a turnaround for a government elected with a huge majority just a few months ago and, even with a fairly significant margin of error, suggests that a significant number of voters will have turned their backs on Labour.

Starmer knows this, too.  He is well aware of just how unpopular he is, no matter what bubble he envelops himself in.  His back door escape from the recent Labour conference in Wales shows that he and his advisors are well aware of the growing anger outside.  Imagine being a newly elected PM with such a huge majority, but being unable to show your face in public?

From pensioners to businesses, to farms and the poorest in society, twelve months from now there will be seldom few across these islands who are not feeling the pinch of Starmer's rush to inflict globalist policies on the UK.

Many of these people voted Labour and they're not going to do so again any time soon.  Starmer's assertion that those demanding another election are purely 'those who didn't vote Labour' not only misrepresents the situation, it is a lie on his part.

The petition in question - to call a new general election in light of Labour's lies - ran out of steam on Tuesday and is currently stalled at less than 2.8million.  An impressive figure nonetheless, and with a Commons debate likely to follow, it is sure to remind the masses just how unpopular this man is.
