It has now been several months since Keir Starmer took over as leader of the Labour Party. Labour’s path of self-flagellation will continue until they accept their core issues of internal and external conflict. Labour is like an alcoholic; we can all see the downward spiral of decay which cannot be stopped until the party acknowledges the extent of its problems.
So, to help out I will give them a free guide to how it can save itself. They won’t like it, but who said the medicine was going to be anything but bitter.
Let’s start with the positive, I believe Keir knows the destructive nature of the Corbyn followers. However, hitherto, his actions suggest one step forward and two steps back approach when it comes to dealing with Corbyn and his cult. Keir needs to take the scalpel and cut out the cancer. He needs to medicate the whole party with a strong message that ensures that such destructive members will not be tolerated.
The Corbyn cult is not necessarily the same as Momentum in Labour. Labour cannot have a party within a party. The aim and objectives of Momentum often contradict those of the party. So on what basis can Labour continue to turn a blind eye to the madness of momentum? Keir needs to ban Momentum and make it clear that members of Momentum cannot be members of Labour.
There is a third step that is required before Keir can begin to restructure Labour so it’s fit for the future. This being Labour’s folly in appeasing to the Muslim vote bank. Especially to Pakistanis. This whole process started during the time of Blair but has accelerated during the past 15 years.
So what is the common thread running through the Corbyn cult, Momentum’s madness and the Pakistani vote bank? All three groups seem to have an issue with the Jewish and Hindu communities. Or put another way, with Israel and India. Or put yet another way, their allegiance to Palestine and Pakistan.
The working class voters in the north have noted this also, even if Labour politicians wish to turn a blind eye. The last election showed beyond any doubt tens of thousands of working class voters abandoning Labour. Labour lost more than they secured from the Corbyn cult, Momentum and the Pakistani vote bank put together. The British electorate lost confidence in Labour as a party fit for governing the nation.
The only way to save Labour is for it to abandon flirting with toxic groups. Each brings their brand of cancer to the party whilst adding nothing of value to it. In fact, all three groups can be described as anti-national. How can a national opposition party allow itself to be taken over by such anarchists?
Can Labour be saved? Yes. However, is Keir the man to do it? I doubt it though time will tell whether he has a leap of faith and forces a quantum jump forward that refreshes Labour for the 21st Century.
If I was Keir, I would use 2021 as the year for reformation when the cancer within is eradicated and the ideology is updated to reflect the nation and its needs, as opposed to a socialist utopia which can never be achieved. Even if that means a decade more in opposition. This country needs a national opposition, not an opposition that is anti-national.
“When one with honeyed words but evil mind persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.” ― Euripides, Orestes. Time for honeyed words is over for Labour if it is to be saved.
