Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer defended Reeves’ latest package, which caused great disappointment and anger. He had no other choice. Criticizing the package means criticizing himself, and he doesn’t have the courage to risk it.
In his speech on Monday, Starmer will support the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s budget and pledge the government to move “further and faster” on pro-growth measures. These are laughable, empty promises. They’ve been in power for two years and haven’t done a single thing. Inflation and unemployment are rising. Thousands of businesses, including major companies, are closing. Large corporations are relocating their headquarters to other countries, but Starmer is still telling the story.
Labor has only one thing to do: first remove Rachel Reeves, then Starmer. As long as these two figures remain at the top, Labour’s potential position in the next election won’t even be a fourth-place party. First, someone who understands the economy, the markets, and isn’t a bank clerk needs to be appointed as economy minister. The prime ministership isn’t Starmer’s job anyway. Let him go back to those courtroom corridors.
