Labour is revealing its true colours – voters will wake up to it before long

Labour’s loons

LABOUR, a potential party of Government, is now fully in bed with the eco doom cults. Has Keir Starmer taken leave of his senses?

First came his total surrender to the “demands” of Just Stop Oil’s sociopathic fantasists . . . shortly after a chat with the tycoon donor who funds them both.

Now we learn that, incredibly, Labour has hired Extinction Rebellion’s ex-lawyer.

Tobias Garnett is a cheerleader for “destruction” tactics — and an adviser to Starmer’s climate chief Ed Miliband.

Labour’s extreme Net Zero policies are thus steered not by reason and ­evidence but by hysterical fanatics who wilfully misread and exaggerate environment science to justify their wild predictions of imminent apocalypse.

Next time you see Just Stop Oil shuffle like mute zombies along a public road, blocking commuters and keeping kids from reaching school or the sick from reaching hospital, remember this: They are agents of Labour and its agenda.

Starmer has allowed Miliband — an ideologue rejected by voters in 2015 as unsuited for power — to turn his party into the political wing of a lawless mob.

Why? Partly because, lacking beliefs himself, he needs others to provide them. But also because Labour is so convinced victory is in the bag it thinks it can get away with anything.

That includes insane, job-wrecking schemes even the unions brand wrong and naïve.

Labour is revealing its true colours, much earlier than Starmer would like.

Voters will wake up to it before long.

Covid farce

THE Covid public inquiry risks becoming a bloated waste of time and money.

If lockdowns saved vastly fewer lives than expected, as a new study claims, should that not be its main focus?

We need to know only why we were so unprepared, if we are better placed now and if lockdowns were worth it given the appalling economic and societal fallout.

A years-long witch-hunt, with the luxury of hindsight, into snap decisions taken by politicians justifiably panicked by a global plague won’t benefit Britain.

Lawyers will win and taxpayers will lose.

Boats boost

RISHI Sunak has made some progress on cutting illegal immigration ... but stopping all the cross-Channel boats still looks way over the horizon.

The PM is right, though, about the power of a deterrent.

Albanians mostly stopped coming once a deal was done to send them back. That will be true of the Rwanda scheme once it is operating and migrants take it seriously.

The Left moans that deterrents “won’t work”, but the truth is they don’t want them to. They want to embrace all- comers, and couldn’t care less how Britain copes with a population explosion.

Even as public services buckle.
