If there’s an artwork to mendacity, the PM hasn’t bothered to grasp it. He lies and lies once more, and there is not any artwork in it in any respect. He simply says no matter fits him on the time.

I have been working via the PM Keir Starmer‘s damaged guarantees, u-turns and pledges, and it is exhausting. If I attempted itemizing all of them right here I would shortly run out of house.

He began by mendacity to his personal social gathering, profitable assist for the Labour management with 10 key pledges that included abolishing scholar tuition charges and the two-child profit cap, and nationalising public providers. All shortly dropped.

Having secured the assist of the Corbynite left he stepped up his efforts by mendacity to the remainder of us to win this 12 months’s normal election.

Starmer led us to consider that Labour would retain the Winter Gasoline Cost, and mentioned nothing about scrapping the £86,000 cap on social care prices for aged and disabled.

He additionally claimed he would “reshape” Labour’s relationships with companies just for chancellor Rachel Reeves to shaft them in her first Price range.

Starmer made a manifesto pledge to not improve taxes on working folks. But the Workplace for Price range Accountability (OBR) reckons 80% of Labour’s employer’s nationwide insurance coverage hike might be handed onto employees within the type of decrease wages, the remainder to shoppers through increased costs.

This week he was uncovered in an much more blatant mistruth.

Whereas looking for energy, Starmer publicly backed Nineteen Fifties Waspi girls’s struggle for “truthful and quick compensation” after the state pension age for ladies was hiked by 5 years.

Final week, he dropped them like a stone. As did each different cupboard minister who took the Waspi pledge: Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall and Angela Rayner. Mendacity is infectious.

In 2023, Starmer lied to farmers, promising a brand new relationship and “certainty”. As an alternative, he is walloped them with inheritance tax (IHT), bringing households a lifetime of uncertainty.

In the course of the election, Starmer and Reeves pretended to don’t have any information of the £22billion “black gap” within the authorities’s funds till the OBR informed him about it.

However because the Institute for Fiscal Research (IFS) repeatedly identified, the black gap “was apparent to anybody who dared to look”.

The IFS mentioned in August that Labour “can’t actually announce a collection of tax rises within the October funds [and] blame them on this gap that she has simply found”.

Reeves nonetheless introduced the hikes. Simply not actually.

If I get caught into her evasions and fabrications, I will be right here all day. So again to Sir Keir.

He would not appear to have a single perspective that he can follow. He is flip-flopped on every little thing from EU freedom of motion, to banning outsourcing within the NHS and whether or not girls have penises (apparently 99.9% do not, however that is topic to alter like each different view he holds).

Starmer has pledged to place human rights on the coronary heart of international coverage, however is now cosying as much as Chinese language dictator Xi Jinping.

Many on the left defend Starmer by saying former Tory PM Boris Johnson was worse. That is not a terrific benchmark. Boris has been described as somebody who could not recognise the reality if confronted with it in an identification parade.

The identical applies to Sir Keir. The distinction is we knew Boris was a rogue all alongside. Starmer introduced himself as sincere and upright, which makes him an abject hypocrite as nicely. He has no disgrace and he is not going to cease.
