It comes as no surprise that Labour’s vacuous policy factory has given them the lowest polling in the quickest time in history.
You could blame the leadership but it goes far deeper than that. From suicidal energy policy to lowering your bills after you’ve paid £30k to convert your heating systems to air pumps with batteries, to taking winter fuel payments off pensioners, is it any wonder they have had no honeymoon period?
Trump will inevitably put tariffs on the UK markets over low defence contributions and lack of oil and gas usage. Where will this leave Ed Miliband’s renewables enforcement policy then? Especially when he can’t clandestinely windfall tax the oil and gas companies and abolish them at the same time as the markets won’t allow it with the change of policy in the Whitehouse.
Our farming and rural community will become (quite rightly ) increasingly vocal as they do not feel represented by this government and shockingly, the government seemingly do not care.
With this arrogant and out-of-touch stance, it won’t be long before the Labour Government starts to see the fractures amongst their backbenchers as the continual attrition of support from the public starts to bite.
Remember now, after six months those newbies that are believing own their hype will soon believe it was them that got elected not the disingenuous campaign of ‘change’ the public is now regretting voting for.
It’s no different here in Morecambe. Does the new MP believe she secured the biggest levelling up fund in history for the Eden Project North that incidentally took me five years to secure and was awarded 18 months before she was elected? Labour have short memories but the people of Morecambe have not.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, it is said, but it’s also indicative of the Labour mantra: tell the people the Tories were bad, but the good things they did, we now claim credit for.
Still, the people in Morecambe and most areas in the UK have lost faith in the new Government. They have stopped infrastructure projects like the new £1.2billion hospital I got the funding for in Lancaster and kicking Eden Project North down the line for another five years. This is happening all over the UK.
My prediction is that there will be rebellions in increasing measure, and you will see abstentions mounting over issues like WASPI or grooming gangs. After another inept budget, the markets will move, and the Government will look like it’s starting to lose control.
You may see the heavy-handed tactics of Labour withdrawing the whip in increasing numbers. If there is a disillusioned split of former Corbynista candidates to go and join the true cause of Labour with Jeremy, you might see by summer reliance on opposition party support and the panic slide begins.
This is not infeasible. The Sunday papers are already full of ‘Starmer will be gone soon’ and this is only after six months.
The Cabinet are already in disarray with Sue Gray, a Health Secretary who cannot keep on message telling the struggling pensioners to turn on the heating after they raid them to raise pay for the unionised public sector. A Trump-hating Foreign Secretary and a very silent Angela Rayner stoking up support under the radar in Manchester Burnham land.
How long before those backbenchers realise they are in terminal spin and follow a new pied piper of Starmer’s doom?
This coupled with out-of-control illegal immigration, the country will cry out for a real change. So loud, it will be deafening and untenable for Starmer’s tenure in No 10 to continue.
My hunch is he will pull the plug on himself and call an election before he will be pushed. If he is removed, the stopwatch will be ticking before the caretaker incumbent wants their own mandate and we go to the polls. It sounds far-fetched but not impossible as we have seen it all before.
