Brits will not be fooled by Keir Starmer's new found patriotism

Sir Keir Starmer has got another new act. We are now seeing the latest in a long line of performances, carefully choreographed for him to say or do whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear.

And his new costume? The apparently proud patriot. In an unexpected break from constantly talking down our country, Sir Keir has now decided he wants to fly the flag, seemingly forgetting Emily Thornberry’s infamous tweet sneering at it in Rochester.

But the British public should not be fooled. This is just another cynical attempt to get through the door of Number 10.

Meanwhile, we know what his true colours are. Labour may have shaved off the beards and put gel through their hair but they have not changed. His history is long and chequered.

This is man who admitted that he “often” proposed the abolition of the monarchy, and as recently as 2020 was calling for the royal family to be ‘downsized’.

This is also the man who served as a Shadow Minister under Jeremy Corbyn, tried to get him elected twice, and even called him a friend. 

Starmer stood idly by as Corbyn refused to sing the national anthem, made friends with foreign terror organisations, and turned his back on our armed forces.

And as much as he tries to convince you otherwise, nothing has changed. Sir Keir and his cronies have time and again proven that they are not on the side of the British people.

They’ve voted against measures to control our borders 134 times, voted against tougher sentencing, voted against more police powers, and tried to hand control of our energy security to foreign dictators like Putin with their eco-zealot spending promises.

He, and his Deputy, would rather take the knee than stand up tall and take the difficult decisions needed to back Britain. So with his undeniable record, we will take no lectures from this human jellyfish on what it means to be patriotic.
