How Does Keir Starmer Sleep at Night?

Sadly, the answer to the question posed in the title is that he probably sleeps like a baby. He appears to be a man completely without conscience. Instead, where most people have a conscience, he has a huge black hole.

Unknown to most voters, the apparently mild-mannered, inanimate and nasally challenged leader of the Labour party is a hard-left Trotskyite of the Pabloist school of communism. This means that several decades ago he will have used his intellect to kill his conscience.

His sole political aim is the implementation of an agenda which will lead to the destruction of the culture in which he lives, with the aim of building a brave new world in the image of Trotskyite insanity. Two of the hallmarks of Trotskyism are ‘worker’s control of production’ and ‘a united front against far-right parties’. Trotsky’s revolutionary train of thought made contact with an ice axe in 1940 wielded by a fellow communist Ramón Mercader, but his ideas live on.

Lest anyone doubt Starmer’s aims, witness the power that has been handed to the trades unions since he assumed office. Massive pay rises for already highly paid train drivers and some not too badly paid NHS workers within a week. Such negotiating has only succeeded in fuelling their greed, as both the train drivers and the doctors continue to threaten strike action.

The train drivers’ union have shown their gratitude by advising their members this winter not to walk on snow to get to their choo-choos as it poses an elf and safety issue. NHS workers have displayed remarkably little gratitude for the extended holiday they got from 2020 to 2022 inclusive (much of it captured for our entertainment on Tik-Tok), while old folk were warehoused by the tens of thousands to save their place of work, and the whole country was imprisoned towards the same end.

In 2024 one of the Labour government’s early actions was to save £1.3billion by cutting old age pensioners’ winter fuel allowances, in what is predicted to be one of our coldest winters in recent years. This has been done to plug the other black hole – the £22billion one – made much of by Starmer and his inept and dishonest Chancer of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves. As they had just spent an estimated £9.4billion which was ploughed into settling public sector pay rises, it is clear where there priorities lie. For ‘workers control of production’ read ‘workers license to dip into the national coffers at will and bugger the rest of you’.

There is ample evidence for the other plank of Starmer’s philosophy regarding ‘a united front against far-right parties’. In fact, he could be considered to be obsessed with the far-right. Or at least, since they barely exist in the UK, using the spectre of the far-right to instil fear in Guardian readers, direct the actions of the police and drive the judiciary towards severe sentencing for anyone who, according to the current government, fits the description of being far-right.

Thus, people expressing an understanding of why there were riots following the Southport slaughter, asking if the perpetrator was a Muslim (he was), taking part peacefully in protests, being an innocent bystander, sharing videos – already available on the BBC – on social media or expressing some hurty words about the kind of people who murder innocent young girls, were imprisoned. They remain in prison, the way having been cleared for them by the cynical and premature release of over 3000 criminals, including some right wrong ‘uns. At least one man has died – allegedly by his own hand – in prison. His crime: holding a placard.

Then witness the meltdown by Sir Keir and those who surround him at the pointing out of the blindingly obvious regarding the organised rape gangs operating in many of our cities with large Muslim populations. Those who do are accused of being far-right, as are those who call for a public inquiry into how the uncovering of the organised rape of thousands of young largely white girls in these same cities was badly mishandled by everyone involved.

This is the reality of showing ‘a united front against far-right parties’: releasing dangerous criminals; giving barely a hoot about the traumas suffered by victims (too readily referred to as ‘survivors’) of the organised rape gangs, and the risk of being labelled far-right and put in the clink if you go against the approved narrative. We seem more concerned with non-existent concepts such as ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘white privilege’, and perpetual guilt about colonialism.

If anything keeps Keir Starmer awake at night, it is probably where the next freebie is coming from. Last month alone he accepted £1000 worth of tickets to watch Arsenal. His avarice for freebies is legendary: free use of a luxury apartment in London; top of the range clothing and spectacles, and tickets to Taylor Swift concerts. A colleague berated me for calling Starmer a left-winger, instead describing him as a capitalist, as if only capitalists were greedy. History shows that, almost to a man, communist leaders reach the top spouting about dictatorship of the proletariat. But the proletariat soon learn their place when the leader reaches the top.

Starmer is a classic class warrior, albeit one in a smart suit. His persecution of the farming community and those who choose to spend their own money privately educating their children are obvious manifestations. If I am reading the runes correctly, there may be something that is genuinely keeping him awake right now and that is a premature return to the backbenches. Those who voted for him will in future be more careful about what they hope for, and his fellow politicians know that he is now more of a liability than an asset. However, as he lacks a conscience, it is highly probable that he will have to be pushed. He is spectacularly unlikely to come to his own conclusion that it is clearly time to go.
