After promoting another paedophile apologist, this week Sir Keir Starmer had the nerve to demand Jim Ratcliffe apologise for basically using the word colonised.

Why should he? He’s a private citizen, he’s not running the country – although I’m sure he’d do a better job.

His point was that there was a failure in our immigration system.

This provided a very handy distraction for Keir Starmer and the promotion of a second paedophile apologist into the House of Lords. Very good, Keir. Very good.

In the Commons, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch fumed: “How dare he criticise us? We weren’t the ones stuffing Government with hypocrites and paedophile apologists.

“He can’t build a team, Mr Speaker. He has no plan. He can’t even run his own office, let alone the country.”

And right on cue, Sir Keir Starmer has another handy summit he can run away to abroad the Munich Security Conference to provide yet another deflection.

And on what better topic than Brexit? Earlier, Sir Keir told leaders: “Now we are not the Britain of the Brexit years anymore. That is why I devote time as Prime Minister to Britain’s leadership on the world stage.

“And that is why I’m here today. Because I am clear there is no British security without Europe and no European security without Britain. That is the lesson of history and is today’s reality as well.”

But he doesn’t leave it there. Now, a subtle dig at Nigel Farage and the Greens.

He said: “Reform have a different agenda. They’re pro-Putin. We know where they stand. Imagine if they were in Government in the United Kingdom.

“It’s striking that the different ends of the spectrum share so much.

“Soft on Russia, weak on Nato, if not outright opposed, and determined to sacrifice the relationship we need on the altar of their ideology.

“The future they offer is one of division. and then capitulation, the lamps would go out across Europe, once again.”

LATEST ON SIR KEIR STARMER:

• ‘Lamps would go out in Europe’ under Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer tells world leaders
• Keir Starmer may SCRAP ‘delay repay’ refunds for passengers held by late trains
• ‘Jim Ratcliffe had nothing to apologise for – Keir Starmer cares more about tone than real problems’

All of this to distract us from his record in public life, which in my view, began with deception and dishonesty when he conned party members and convinced them that he was a Corbynist, then sacked Jeremy Corbyn, somebody he called a friend.

And since in office he has raised taxes, many of which he promised not to.

He said ahead of the election: “I don’t believe it’s fair to raise taxes on working people when they’re already paying this much, particularly in a cost of living crisis.

“So let me spell it out. We will not raise income tax. We will not raise national insurance. We will not raise VAT. That is a manifesto commitment.”

He’s been embroiled in scandal from the start. Freebie gate. Lord Alli. Then the loss of a Transport Secretary after an old fraud conviction resurfaced…

Then an Anti-Corruption Minister sacked for suspected corruption.

A Homeless Minister sacked for effectively making her tenants homeless. A Housing Secretary sacked for dodging stamp duty.

A Health Minister sacked for joking about the death of a pensioner.

And a US ambassador sacked and a head of communications suspended for their links to paedophiles. Keir claimed that they lied to him.

Yet their links were public knowledge and fully documented before their appointments. How gullible – if you buy that.

Now, Lord MacDonald is warning about the woman that Keir is about to employ.

Dame Antonia, investigated for bullying, harassment and Downing Street are rushing to push through her appointment.

Keir Starmer’s record as Prime Minister is a national disgrace. He is now back on the world stage, trying to reverse Brexit under the guise of international security.

Flaming cheek.
