The spirit of the Labour Party

I have previously made a blogpost on the spirit of the Tory Party. Little has changed in this Party since then.

Today, I am constrained to draw attention to the spirit of the UK Labour Party, lest anyone should think that I consider it to be any better. Its spirit is different from the Tory Party but it is not much better.

The lamentable conduct of the Labour Party under Sir Keir Starmer is almost too lengthy to remember. It began with the embarrassing number of freebies given to the Prime Minister including his clothes and his glasses. The long list includes the possibility that he broke the Covid-lockdown rules by meeting his voice coach on christmas eve at the very time that Prime Minister Boris Johnson was being hounded for similar behaviour.

To these are added his dictatorial determination to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, a country with no historic claims to the islands and an ally of China, contrary to the wishes of the Chagosians, adding insult to injury by paying a huge sum of money to Mauritius in the process! The figure of £18 trillion has been touted. Today, in Prime Minister’s Questions, he refused to say if the money would come out of the increased Defence Spending announced in the House of Commons yesterday. Sleight of hand has been characteristic of his leadership. He made sudden and unexpected unilateral commitments on a visit to Kiev without Parliamentary discussion, while the Speaker of the House of Commons occasionally reminds parliamentarians about the necessity of making announcements first in the House of Commons to Parliament, but with no comment on this action.

The final straw for me came today with the following tweet which shows the removal of the portrait of historic icon Lord Nelson from the Parliamentary Estate and replaced with the unproven non-entity Yvette Cooper. GB News discussed it here [at 20:38 hrs] along with the other changes among historical figures.

Having begun this blogpost, I can now use it to add new outrages as they occur, for they have been like bullets from a machine gun and I do not expect them to stop.
