Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of being a Leader in Name Only after No 10 sources told The Mail on Sunday the PM was being ‘bullied’ by the Treasury into introducing a mansion tax in the Budget.
According to the source, the premier was opposed to introducing the measure, out of concerns it would generate negative headlines about ‘little old ladies’ being turfed out of their homes, but was ignored.
Torsten Bell, the Treasury minister who is effectively writing the Budget for Ms Reeves, is understood to have claimed that ‘some form of mansion tax has to happen’.
Sir Keir Starmer has been told that he needs to impose the charges on homes with £2 million or more so that they can placate the party’s Left-wing.
He has been told the move is necessary as a ‘distraction tactic’ to ‘sell’ the Budget on November 26 as an attack on the wealthy rather than ‘working people’.
A No 10 source said: ‘Keir argued privately that a mansion tax would be unfair on little old ladies who lived in large houses which have increased in value over decades but who did not have the disposable income to pay a new charge.
‘He also said that it would raise relatively little money in return for all the political hassle.
‘But Torsten was adamant that it has to happen in order to sell it to the backbenches, and Keir has basically been bullied into agreeing.’
However, Keir Starmer couldn’t have lost control because he would have needed it in the first place, which he apparently did not.
He is a dishonest and unprincipled politician who has consistently lied and used political ploys.
He never has any answers, but is content to lie through his teeth to get himself out of a sticky situation, but he was so frantic for power that he made pledges to get himself elected – but don’t they all do that?
Starmer made manifesto promises and systematically violated every one of them. He’s probably the worst Labour leader that there has ever been, and if there were a contest for the worst Labour leader, he would have succeeded, and to be honest, he probably couldn’t even work a TV remote controller.
From the beginning, he has been weak and cowardly, and now he is even more so.
It’s like a chimp’s tea party, and just when you believe it can’t get any worse, it does.
Living in the UK these days is a terrible experience. It’s not the UK where I grew up; immigrants who rape our women and children have wrecked our culture. Do you truly want to raise your kids here?
Every day Starmer is Prime Minister, he is destroying our country, and I dread to think how much worse it’s going to get with his stupidity over the next few years.
Why on earth did anyone believe that a British-hating, wimpy, human rights lawyer was good prime minister material? But people did, and that’s why a lying and wily fox has the job, and he’s now running the asylum along with all the other lunatics who are nodding and agreeing without a speck of common sense between them.
Keir Starmer needs to resign. Surely he must realise that people want him out, or is he really that stupid?
Let’s face it, Labour is a despicable party, with a despicable ideology, and with those two things put together, they are the British-hating party.
