Starmer FEARS Farage!
Listen, I have many BIG questions about Reform Leader Nigel Farage but on one thing I am absolutely certain, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer is absolutely petrified of both Farage and Reform and what they can do to that Labour voting base out there!
Before getting into the recent Starmer attack on Farage, let’s take a look at the most recent opinion poll and yes, I know that these polls have to be taken with a BIG pinch of salt! This polls shows support for the three main parties in the crucial RED WALL areas.
As you can see, Reform have stormed ahead and, if sustained, this will deliver a massive blow to Labour which is in turn reflected in this National Poll.
Such is the palpable FEAR from Labour strategists that Starmer went to the dyed-in- the-red-wool city of Liverpool to launch an attack on Farage.
The Prime Minister turned his fire on the Reform UK leader in a speech in the north west today, accusing him of planning a “mad experiment” that will hammer family finances. He compared Reform’s uncosted pledges to Tory disaster Liz Truss, who triggered market chaos and sent mortgage rates rocketing with her tax-slashing mini-Budget.
Here was how Farage chose to cover it.
Starmer has taken the decision that it is REFORM and Farage that constitute an existential threat to Labour. Farage, cynically or otherwise, is attacking Starmer from the LEFT and the Conservatives from the right. It is clever politics and it is working.
Labour is in NO position to lecture Farage and Reform about uncosted policies and if you take a look at the gilts markets you see a coming economic disaster which Labour has brought upon itself
Basically, the money markets do NOT trust Labour on fiscal rectitude and who can blame them! The 5.49% figure is way above that which brought down Liz Truss back in 2022.
I think that this Labour Government will do what EVERY other Labour Government has done and drive the economy over the cliff. Reform stand well placed to benefit from this and it is this which Starmer is desperate to avoid. He will fail.

Considering that Starmer was elected on what was it? 20% of the eligible vote I’m genuinely surprised his approval ratings are 13%. The problem is the Fixed Term Parliament Act which mandates him another 4 years. He is not an honourable mana and doesn’t need the approval of the public to sit tight and keep wreaking social and economic havoc on the country whilst he does the bidding of the UN, EU, WEF and whoever else.
Who in their right mind is voting Labour?
