Keir Starmer attempted to gaslight the public in a pre-budget speech. In the speech, he again claimed that the country is facing some sort of crisis which he did not define but rather made vague references to as a reason to impose higher taxes and further attacks on the British people.
Starmer also made more hollow promises, which replaced any hard facts and figures, with the phrase “better days are ahead” repeatedly used during the speech.
In briefings given in advance of the speech, the prime minister attempted to deflect from the disastrous first 100 days by saying:
'This is not 1997, when the economy was decent but public services were on their knees. And it’s not 2010, where public services were strong, but the public finances were weak. These are unprecedented circumstances.’
Again, he did not clarify what these so called ‘unprecedented times' actually are, though Starmer is known to use meaningless phrases In place of any transparent policies.
He also said:
"And that’s before we even get to the long-term challenges ignored for 14 years: an economy riddled with weakness on productivity and investment, a state that needs urgent modernisation to face down the challenge of a volatile world.
His word-salad was clearly a cynical attempt to soften the blow of Wednesday’s budget which is likely to attack pensioners, savers, middle income workers, home owners and those who own their own business.
Starmer said the Budget will embrace the “harsh light of fiscal reality”, but actually is just a cynical lurch towards the far-left fuelled by Marxist ideology. Starmer is disguising his Communist budget by implying that anything else is ‘populist’, saying he will “ignore the populist chorus of easy answers”. Not being a Communist is now seen as ‘populist’ just as not being one is ‘far right’.
In the 2024 Labour manifesto the party said:
The Conservatives have raised the tax burden to a 70-year high. We will ensure taxes on working people are kept as low as possible. Labour will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of income Tax, or VAT.
This word salad is so vague as to be meaningless. The Government will simply apply taxes to other areas, and increase other less obvious ones currently in existence. These are often referred to as ‘hidden taxes’ and they are expected to form 50% of the raid on people’s money by 2025.
