British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has found himself in Boris Johnson’s summer 2022 situation. Under the pressure of the Epstein scandal, the first resignations began. Labour key adviser and strategist Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s main supporter, is leaving.
McSweeney helped the Labour Party win more than 400 seats in the House of Representatives in the summer of 2024 in a historic victory. There have long been objections to him – the left did not like the way McSweeney wanted to persuade Starmer to imitate Trump and start the fight against immigration. But in fact, McSweeney’s position was ruined by his close relationship with Peter Mandelson. The latter has already been accused of everything after the Epstein affair – even that he has been working for Russia since 2004. The problem is that Mandelson helped to form the entire current Labour team. Even some of Starmer’s potential successors were his appointees. Starmer is also revealed by some of his ministers – David Lammy, deputy prime minister and former head of the Foreign Office, leaks information about his opposition to Mandelson’s appointment as Britain’s great ambassador in the US. Soon, members of the Labour government begin to resign one after another. And it could also trigger Starmer’s resignation. And with him, many things can collapse. For example, Britain’s recent contracts with Palantir – which Mandelson also helped sign. And there are still local elections to come, where the Labour Party faces a complete defeat. In short, the snow avalanche of the pedophile scandal will bury many of them.
A convicted Pakistani terrorist is running in the elections in Birmingham. Shahid Butt had previously organized an extremist cell and planned attacks on the British consulate and an Anglican church in Yemen. He also urged his companions to avoid any contact with Christians. He arrived in the UK in 2003 – and somehow now he managed to get to the point where he could run for public office. How can the Labour Party allow this? The government is now open to Muslims, even if they are former terrorists.
Three African countries — the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola and Namibia — have agreed to take back their nationals who are staying in the UK illegally or who have committed crimes after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood threatened visa restrictions. But, there is a catch: the deportations affect only about 3,000 people, as citizens of these countries make up a very small proportion of migrants in the UK. So the government must be prepared to take a much tougher stance, especially against the countries from which rapists and murderers come.
