“When was the last time you heard him say anything positive about the future of Britain?”. The (rhetorical) question, which belongs to and raised in the context of the ruler’s conference in Liverpool, is declared to whom the British prime minister considers his main political opponent.
But it is not the only challenge he is called upon to face, as the intra -party opposition exacerbates its criticism, in the wake of a series of scandals and with a few months left for the parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales.
Faraj, Faraj, Faraj
Starmer’s speech was largely focused on the attempt to degrade the leader of the far -right Reformuk, whom he called a “scam”. “He does not like Britain and does not believe in it,” he said, among other things, and at the same time complained that he “survives politically from misery” and wants to turn it into “a country of victims”. Faraj responded by describing this position as “a honest” and warned that he was more determined to punish the workers in the ballot box.
“We will give him a lesson next May that British political history will not forget” were his exact words, which were accompanied by the accusation that the prime minister “is in a phase of denial of the situation and out -of -control crime”.
The sharp confrontation between the two men is easily explained by recent poll findings. These are recorded not only Reformuk’s first, but his ever -upward trend, as the party is flirting with 30% and seems to have set a safety distance from both workers and conservatives.
Indeed- as the same numbers show- Farage and his party manage to penetrate the traditional Torides voters in the traditional basis of the working class, which is attributed to the combination of a policy that prefers the increase in benefit support to the large-scale families with traditional families.
In this context, the choice of Starmer and other Labor executives such as Finance Minister Rachel Reeves, who did not hesitate to name Faraj as “the greatest danger” to the living standards of the citizens, paralleling his promises with the policy of conservative Prime Minister Liz. However, it is neglected by the rhetoric adopted by the tenant of Downig Street 10 and the plus of it on the issue of immigration.
Contradictions
On the issue, the toughest positions are now evident and let them contrary to the general socialist philosophy of the party. The government’s plans for the migration were cleared at the conference by the (tragic irony of the descendant of Pakistani immigrants) Interior Minister Sabana Mahmoud, summarizing the ministry’s new plans as a “good citizen” test. The reason for this nickname is that from now on those immigrants who wish to be granted a Settled Status must speak fluent English, work, pay taxes and also provide voluntary assistance to communities.
The time required before permanent residence permit will be doubled from 5 years to 10. At the same time and in a statement taken as a staggering contradiction with the government’s actions, the prime minister did not hesitate to characterize the reformuk’s migration proposal if he had a “racist” plan.
It is a high risk and dubious efficiency strategy of interception, treated with skepticism by the party’s left wing. The latter points out that the leadership of the historical center -left in its attempt to repatriate voters focusing on the tightening of the rules for immigration appears in favor of the main conservative, thus losing its “left” as liberals and liberals. Others again point out that any tactic makes no sense if the eternal opponents do not recover in the long run. “It does not help us to be dead, the Torks is needed, the right vote needs to be shared,” he said, speaking to the BBC under anonymity.
In this context, Manchester mayor and former Minister Andy Burnham is evolving into the powerful pole of intra -party challenge. “There is a climate of fear within the party about how we are discussing specific issues in the Labor Party,” said Burnham, who supports the EU accession again and stresses that the government should regain political control from markets.
Indeed, a Yougov poll among members of the party are preferred by 62% of respondents to just 29% of the starman, who, in addition to all the other weeks, saw Deputy Prime Minister Angela Renner to resign because of a tax scandal and dismissed In the past with the convict of sex crimes Jeffrey Estin.
