The Prime Minister could do one thing to restore the public's faith in the government (Image: Getty Images)
If what I’m hearing on the doorstep is correct, Labour is set to get one hell of a bloody nose at the local elections on Thursday. By all accounts it could lose the by-election in Runcorn (Labour’s 14th safest seat in the country) as well as many of its councillors and mayoral elections in some of its traditional heartlands, such is the voters’ disillusionment with Starmer’s government and the incompetent way councils like Birmingham have been run. How Starmer reacts to his first test since winning the General Election will seal his and Labour’s fate.
Top of the list of complaints when I knock on doors is the removal of the winter fuel payment from pensioners and changes to disability benefits. But scratch the surface and you’ll find upset runs much deeper. There is growing resentment at how this government puts the interests of its own people below that of others.

For example, people are furious that money can be found to house illegal immigrants but can’t be found to help pensioners, and furious that money can be found to fund projects overseas but can’t be found for farmers at home, and find it unforgivable that a national rape gang inquiry isn’t being conducted into the abuse of white, working-class girls.
And many voters can’t begin to get their heads around the deal this government struck over the Chagos Islands. Territory strategically important to the UK’s defence given away for free, only to have to rent it back from Mauritius for billions of pounds. What sort of a cack-handed negotiation was that?

People are exasperated, too, about the way this government is pursuing extreme energy policies that makes its citizens poorer and puts the UK at the mercy of foreign states. Mad Miliband’s renewable obsession has the UK buying solar panels from China, itself busy powering up on oil and coal, and buying oil and gas from abroad when we could be producing it ourselves.

People have had enough. I cannot tell you how many times in the last few weeks people have told me they “no longer feel proud to be British”. If they happen to be white, male and Christian they are also fed up of being persecuted and discriminated against whether going for a job or in the courts.

People no longer feel it is Great Britain – more like Failed Britain – and that this government is anti-British.
If Starmer wants to shake off the doom loop Labour has created, he would be well advised to start by sacking Ed Miliband and dropping its delusional Net Zero policies. At a stroke, that would cut energy prices and signal to the world we are open for business. He should also stop the creation of GB Energy – a giant, pointless ￡8billion quango – and use that money to help get the economy going.
These election results will show that when you don’t put your country and your citizens first, you’ll get booted out, which is exactly what will happen this Thursday.
