2026 will determine whether Labour has a future. Its current low in the polls reflects anger and disappointment at how badly it has been governing. This year there is still time for it to change course and show it has learned from a bruising year and a half in office. It should start by going back to its Manifesto. It needs to think of the many voters who are not socialists who either voted for it or voted tactically in ways which allowed it a big win in seats or who stayed at home thinking they could live with its likely impact. They took comfort from the Manifesto.
They liked the idea of smashing the gangs and ending illegal migration. They were relieved there would be no tax rises other than the targeted VAT on school fees and the Non Doms changes. They agreed with the idea of going for growth and creating more jobs.
The collapse of support comes from government reneging on all three of those crucial pledges. The latest Home Secretary talks tough but acts weakly, failing to deport illegals arriving by small boat, failing to intercept small boats or arrest the gangs and boat drivers to stop the trade, The Chancellor has run two budgets as ways to threaten anyone who works hard , owns their own home and saves with yet more tax. Net zero zealotry closes industries and loses us jobs.High taxes lead talent and those with big money to go elsewhere. The way to some recovery for Labour lies with reversing all this.
It is unlikely they will do so. Meanwhile they deter many voters, with the agenda they did not put in their Manifesto. Scrapping many jury trials. Delaying elections. Pushing through unwanted reorganisations of Councils regardless of local opinion. Limiting free speech excessively.
Worse still is the way the Prime Minister spends much of his time abroad giving money, territory and our rights to self government away. People want a leader who puts the UK and the needs of UK voters first, not someone who apologises for our past and seeks for damaging interpretations of international Treaties to make the UK pay.

The three pledges were in effect a denial that Starmer’s Gang would be a socialist government. It was taqqiya, adopted from their allies. A socialist is a socialist is a socialist. Full stop. But it is no longer the old class envy. Starmer’s Gang hates Britain and its Judeo-Christian foundations and legacy as much as its Islamist allies, ie., viscerally and with religious fervour. Its policies and actions are all negative, destructive. It knows only that it must tear down and destroy all that it hates.
And, no, there will not be a general election in 2029 or anytime soon after. There is nothing in law to force it to face the electorate, only convention. Not even the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022 requires a general election following the automatic dissolution of a parliament after five years. It leaves the government in office with no sitting MPs. What a golden opportunity for Trotsky Starmer and his Gang of Fabians and communists.
Reply There is no basis or precedent to believe they can cancel a General election unless a world war had started and the UK Parliament had put us into it as a combatant.
