Jeremy Clarkson has unleashed a fresh outburst targeted at the prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, following the rollout of a new set of restrictions that have affected drivers everywhere.

The Clarkson’s Farm star is no stranger to publicly voicing his disdain for the man in Number 10, with his opposition to the government’s latest tax hikes on pubs landing him in the news of late.

Add to the mix a fierce opposition to the chancellor’s agricultural inheritance tax proposals, and even the possibility of a surprising political stint against Ed Miliband in his hometown of Doncaster, and it’s safe to say Mr Clarkson isn’t the biggest fan of the current party in control.

This time around, Mr Clarkson’s ire is centred closer to home, with the 65-year-old furious with what the government has done to the state of modern-day cars – and the worrying fallout that may lie ahead.

Mr Clarkson’s blistering assessment of Mr Starmer and his damning prediction for the future of motoring journalism came in his latest newspaper column.

He began his latest car review by admitting there was not a single car available today that he would purchase, thanks to the introduction of the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).

Mr Clarkson described the system as a series of “irritating bongs and beeps” that alert you to any dangers while driving.

“ADAS makes every car annoying. Ferraris. Aston Martins. Maseratis. All ruined by having Sir Starmer and his merry band of nanny state enthusiasts in the glovebox,” Mr Clarkson surmised.

He also disputed the idea that ADAS made driving safer, describing the argument as “debatable”.

“All of this flies in the face of what a car is. Freedom. Escapism. Excitement. Convenience. And in some cases, art,” Mr Clarkson protested.

But it wasn’t just the government’s rollout of ADAS that irked the Top Gear star. “We (also) now have little signs in all the villages around here saying there’s a 20mph speed limit,” he explained.

“But this has nothing to do with road safety and everything to do with the fact that there’s not much crime, so to justify its existence, the parish council has decided to impose a Liberal Democratic speed limit that literally no one can stick to. Don’t argue. You can’t, and you don’t, especially if you’re going downhill.”

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

All of these rules and restrictions led Mr Clarkson to sympathise with the younger generation who have no interest in purchasing a vehicle.

He said: “Small wonder that most people today under 20 do not have a full driving licence. What’s the point?

“They can’t afford the car, let alone the insurance, and even if they can find a Saturday job to help with the costs, they will be shouted at by their lefty Zack-fan friends who think it’s uncool and Musky to have your own wheels,” he added, unable to resist a dig at the Green Party leader, Zack Polanski.

All of these restrictions have led Mr Clarkson to one conclusion: it will result in the death of the career that shot him to fame.

He explained: “I don’t like to think about where all of this is going, as I suspect that very soon the idea of motoring journalism will be preposterous.

“Trying to review a government-controlled car made in China by a company whose name you can’t pronounce would be like trying to review a chest freezer. Pointless.”

While Mr Clarkson may not be the biggest fan of ADAS, the government’s official website claims it is “set to play a major role in the transport revolution happening across the UK”.

The gov.uk site also says: “It will help to improve transport across the nations by making everyday journeys safer, more flexible and more reliable.”
