Lord Mandelson claimed that Sir Keir Starmer had lost public trust and might never regain it. Mandelson, a leading figure in the Labour Party who was dismissed by Starmer, asserted that Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves had failed economically, and that this was the most important “litmus test” for the government.
Unfortunately, Lord Mandelson was one of those who saw the truth too late. The moment the Prime Minister, Chancellor, and other key figures received donations of two thousand, three thousand, or even twenty thousand, public opinion had already eroded.
December inflation rose again. The 3.4% inflation rate now makes it almost impossible for this government to reduce it. Because Starmer and Chancellor are truly unaware of the state of the economy and the markets. They seem to be living in another universe.
Starmer still seems to think he’s in a courtroom. He has no likeable side. If he were a little more successful, perhaps the public could sympathize with him, but that’s not the case either. He’s just waiting for elections to come and for himself to be removed.
Meanwhile, Labour MPs also need to find an alternative, but some of them haven’t found the right candidate yet; they’re just waiting.
As long as Starmer remains, there’s unfortunately no chance of the country improving. The same goes for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, unfortunately.
