Britain is not being governed.
Last night in Downing Street, what were Keir Starmer and his team doing?
They were not thinking about the future of NATO…
They were not up late talking about sorting out the cost of living …
They were not planning to reindustrialise Britain with cheaper energy.
They were… yet again… desperately ringing round Labour MPs trying to save his job.
The Labour Party came into government just 18 months ago but with no plan for this country.
And in the last 18 months, we have seen exactlywhat happens when a government has no ideawhat it is doing in power…and no idea what it stands for….
They have made a series of random decisions.
Not a single one of which was in their manifesto.
Snatching Winter Fuel Payments. Taxing Family farms. Mandatory digital ID.
Surrendering the Chagos Islands.
A disastrous Budget….for Benefits Street.
Taxing jobs, pubs and businesses – and making this country poorer.
Every. single. one of these decisions… they have got wrong.
It is bad enough to have a government preoccupied with cleaning up its own messes.
But what’s worse… is the reason these mistakes keep happening.
Because every single one of them… comes back to the judgement of one man.
Keir Starmer.
At a time when Britain needs a leader, we have a Prime Minister who makes the wrong decision again…and again.
For months….I have been pressing the Prime Minister about his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as ambassador.
And Yesterday in Parliament, I finally forced him to admit the shocking truth.
HE KNEW.
He knew that Mandelson had a continuing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He knew Mandelson had stayed in his house while Epstein was in jail for child prostitution.
The Prime Minister knew all this and appointed Peter Mandelson anyway to the most prestigious job in the diplomatic service.
The Prime Minister brushed aside the security warnings.
He turned a blind eye…to what he knew….about Mandelson’s association…..with one of the world’s most notorious paedophiles.
And instead of standing up and taking full responsibility for this disastrous appointment,
The Prime Minister is trying to make himself out to be the victim.
Nobody is buying it.
This morning Cabinet ministers are out there defending the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson – still claiming that it was a rational appointment.
They should be ashamed.
And it’s not just Peter Mandelson.
The Prime Minister has surrounded himself with people who do not have …
