Back in 2016 I wrote a piece exposing the antisemitism of Labour cadres under Jeremy Corbyn and described the Labour Party thus:
‘At heart they are Britain-hating, US-hating, IRA-supporting, anti-Semitic Bolsheviks’
By 2019, the Labour leadership’s links to antisemitic and terrorist groups had been laid bare in a series of MSM articles — exposing shocking connections that both angered military families residing across the ‘red wall’ and disgusted those decent Labour MPs who had risen through Labour’s ranks, ashamed of the Far Left of their party.
Between 2016 and that election, the ‘bomb under Labour’ well and truly went off.
And 2019 was the chance to bury them for good.
Instead, Boris Johnson and his wife squandered the win, setting the stage for what became the most humiliating chapter in Conservative Party history. One could argue that the tragic period of Tories losing their bearings peaked recently with Michael Gove’s bizarre public endorsement of Kamala Harris for December’s US election.
Yes, the Conservative Party has its own mess to clean up. Once its leaders remember that socialism and conservatism, like oil and water, don’t mix, it might just find a way out.
But what about Labour?
They’re stuck with a Corbynite rump, MPs who never thought they’d win, and a front bench so weak that, using a football comparison, it’d lose to the Watford Long John Silver impersonators.
Insular, arrogant and dull, Keir Starmer presumes Labour has five years. No doubt he scorns the Truss and Sunak photos as he ascends Number Ten’s stairs. In normal days he’d be betting on economic growth to win a decade of power. But fixed-term parliaments or not, Labour’s latest ‘bombs’ are arguably bigger than those under Corbyn. As with Corbyn’s crises, they are unavoidable. The evidence is so thorough and spread so widely.
When they go off, Labour might not recover.
Ever.
First, take the rape gangs. Evidence is piling up—who knew what and when. Where Pakistani taxi drivers turn up, so do rape gangs. And where social workers and local authorities failed, Labour cadres were at the heart of it. Whistleblowers sent regular testimonies to senior Labour politicians. The cover-up? To protect Labour’s Muslim vote. Victims were dismissed, some even branded as prostitutes. A Polinode map of these connections is revolting. It’s a Labour network personified by nodes like Lord Ahmed, so brilliantly exposed by Urdu-speaking BBC investigators then jailed for child sex offences. Labour cover-up atop Labour cover-up. And, despite their brilliance on individual cases, mainstream broadcasters like the BBC won’t touch the macro story, perhaps afraid of upsetting their political masters.
This scandal makes Labour’s antisemitism crisis look trivial by comparison. The Conservative Party will be doing the nation a disservice if they fail to assist in a full illumination of the facts.
Second, Tom Watson. How any individual can make a political comeback after heralding from the mire of Labour-dominated Sandwell and having promoted Carl Beech’s fantasies to the point of destroying the lives of victims is beyond reason. ‘Lord’ Tom Watson is already the stuff of Harvey Proctor’s nightmares. Soon he’ll be the stuff of Keir Starmer’s nightmares. People presume that Blair and Mandelson are behind this iteration of the Labour Party but the one really pulling the strings is none other than Tom Watson. And whenever Watson is involved, things never end well. His informants have grown too comfortable of late. You can always tell when Watson is close to another crisis, he bloats up as does a diverticulosis-ridden pig after gorging excessively on rotten cauliflowers.
Third, antisemitism. As we’ve seen during the latest Middle East conflagration, it’s not gone away. In fact it’s still ubiquitous across the Labour Party and there are plenty of Labour MPs who walk a daily tightrope.
Fourth, events. The Farmers’ Rebellion, the Taxpayers’ Revolt, an expedited Net Zero, a Prime Ministerial scandal … there’s plenty of time for a megabattle the Government conjures which implodes it.
Next General Election in 2029?
Not a chance.
The Tories and Reform ought to get themselves becalmed and in shape for coalition. Fast.
