"The new Government has been unleashed, dedicating itself to total victory in both the class and culture wars"
Telegraph: 14th August 2024: Allister Heath (Editor of The Sunday Telegraph) provides a top-rate analysis of what the UK faces under a Labour government.
"...The Cassandras... who warned that Labour would prove to be a catastrophe... have been vindicated in record time.
Starmer’s Government... is a ruthlessly efficient, highly focused... wrecking machine... dedicated to total victory in the culture and class wars...
They have delivered a masterclass in how to seize the levers of power, harness a sympathetic Blob and ram through a revolutionary blueprint to empower the state... promote radical greenery... and turbocharge wokeism...
Labour’s miserable 33.7 per cent of the vote isn’t providing any kind of psychological restraint or self-doubt about legitimacy...
Take immigration: Angela Rayner has dropped... proposed “UK connections test”... scrapped the Rwanda scheme, and replaced it with nothing... [Labour] is fanatically supportive of the European Convention on Human Rights...
...education...Academies will be subjected to the national curriculum... free schools will see their autonomy curtailed... Free speech protections in universities are being axed. The 20 per cent VAT on private schools is being accelerated.
The Government won’t increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by 2030... David Lammy has turned against Israel... The Government is desperate to move closer to the EU’s orbit... Ed Miliband’s dislike of North Sea oil and gas is a disaster... looming tax raids on pensioners, hard workers, savers and investors to fund Reeves’s alleged £22 billion “black hole” are abhorrent...
How bad will it get?..."
