Labour’s anti-monarch, anti-Britain exhausting left lingers for Starmer
It doesn’t take a lot scratching of the floor to see what lies beneath the pores and skin of Sir Keir Starmer‘s Labour Party. In truth, a cursory browse of Twitter normally reveals the reality of what lurks beneath the respectable facade. And exhausting left Norwich South MP Clive Lewis has gone out of his method to present what many Labour activists actually assume.
The former Corbyn ally has produced a video complaining in regards to the monarchy and explaining why individuals “should care” negatively in regards to the Coronation.
He lambasts the King for his mom the beloved late Queen Elizabeth II for exempting herself and her successor from 160 items of laws.
He complains that the King doesn’t must pay some taxes and has amassed a fortune of £2 billion.
The leftwing MP whines that that is at a time when he claims three million youngsters face abject poverty.
“Our monarchy isn’t a social glue,” he mentioned. “Rather it is a gilded veneer that makes grotesque disparities of wealth and power seem normal.”
He is urging followers on social media to signal a petition demanding that royal exemptions on legal guidelines are dominated out.
For all Starmer’s makes an attempt to align himself with supporting the monarchy and his phrases of congratulation to the King at PMQs on Wednesday, it’s exhausting to flee the conclusion that if Labour was elected to energy then Lewis is way extra reflective of what it actually thinks.
The distaste and disdain for British traditions, historical past and establishments preserve popping up simply as Starmer tries to squash each in a type of bizarre political whack-a-mole recreation.
How do we all know this to be true?
Well, the Labour Party members and union members voted in Corbyn handsomely in 2015.
Then, to win energy Starmer needed to fake he supported Corbyn and would proceed his insurance policies. It was solely after that he U-turned on all the things.
And Lewis’ video is simply one of many politer types of hatred in the direction of the establishment on the high of our political system.
We solely have to contemplate individuals like David Beckett, the Labour council candidate who was suspended after describing in one other tweet the King as a phrase which equates to being a prison sexual pervert.
Beckett clearly couldn’t restrain himself and lacked Lewis’ finesse.
With elections as we speak although it looks like many individuals who share these views might be elected to run England’s city halls up and down the nation.
Some, after all, take the view of former Tony Blair advisor John McTernan within the video above that such views are crass.
Sadly, McTernan and his ilk are nonetheless presumably in a minority.
Next yr, although, when we now have a common election these points might be way more important.
Starmer has carried out so many U-turns it is vitally exhausting to know what kind of Labour Party could be elected to authorities.
The suspicion is that it’s the type of anti-monarchy, historical past and free speech cancelling, woke social gathering which all of us worry.
Such a authorities may wreak untold hurt to this nation and its heritage.
After all simply have a look at Clive Lewis’ video, have a look at the way in which Labour MP Rosie Duffield who stood up for girls’s rights has been ostracised by the social gathering, have a look at the picture of Starmer taking a Black Lives Matter knee.
The proof is earlier than our eyes and can matter on the election subsequent yr.
