The Labour Party conference is proving what we all already knew, says Patrick Christys

Sir Keir Starmer called Reform’s immigration plans racist.

Then his Home Secretary announced basically the same policy, but in my opinion, slightly worse.

Housing Secretary Steve Reed was dishing out signed hats saying “Build Baby Build”.

But then it turned out he has absolutely no idea how many houses he’s actually built.

Sir Keir Starmer is facing a leadership challenge from Andy Burnham, who used a fringe event to slag him off.

The Prime Minister sacked Lucy Powell and if the polls are right, she’s about to be elected as his Deputy Leader.

Rachel Reeves can’t give a straight answer about VAT.

And she seems to have no idea how much Labour’s new plan to get 18–24-year-olds into work and off benefits is actually going to cost.

Meanwhile, Torsten Bell, the bloke who seems to want to tax the air you breathe, was caught out being very mean to Ed Davey.

Sadiq Khan was busy using the only phrases he knows how to say.

There have been protests outside.

There’s been protests inside.

And that’s before we’ve spoken about the two major scandals.

That could have seen Sir Keir have to sack his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney…

And whatever went on with that donkey field in Surrey.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, yesterday it was revealed Sir Keir is the least popular Prime Minister in history.

Labour conference is proving what we already knew — this Government is an absolute shower.
