If Starmer won’t deal with this issue he can be replaced by someone who will.

Why should government change when it’s working perfectly well for them as it is 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Thanks. It would seem that post the DUP /Farage delivered hard Brexit that GB governments have been entirely global corporation captured. I do wonder how much global corporate money is behind the ongoing present attempt by Micheál Martín’s Fianna Fáil leadership in the Irish Dáil to subvert due democratic process is coming from similar sources.

I expect it'll go something like:

—Labour does nothing, citing its intention to "vanquish Reform in the marketplace of ideas" or similar.

—The electorate conclude that Labour is doing nothing because "it's just as bent as the Tories".

—Reform presents itself as a "clean pair of hands" unsullied by ever having been in government. (It matters little if it's awash with dark money at this point because we're thoroughly post-truth and post-facts.)

If you're wondering where you've heard that "vote for me I've never been in government so I represent a clean pair of hands" strategy before; it worked extraordinarily well for Silvio Berlusconi.
