Sadly, the answer to the question posed in the title is that he probably sleeps like a baby. He appears to be a man completely without conscience. Instead, where most people have a conscience, he has a huge black hole.

Unknown to most voters, the apparently mild-mannered, inanimate and nasally challenged leader of the Labour party is a hard-left Trotskyite of the Pabloist school of communism. This means that several decades ago he will have used his intellect to kill his conscience.

His sole political aim is the implementation of an agenda which will lead to the destruction of the culture in which he lives, with the aim of building a brave new world in the image of Trotskyite insanity. Two of the hallmarks of Trotskyism are ‘worker’s control of production’ and ‘a united front against far-right parties’. Trotsky’s revolutionary train of thought made contact with an ice axe in 1940 wielded by a fellow communist Ramón Mercader, but his ideas live on.

Lest anyone doubt Starmer’s aims, witness the power that has been handed to the trades unions since he assumed office. Massive pay rises for already highly paid train drivers and some not too badly paid NHS workers within a week. Such negotiating has only succeeded in fuelling their greed, as both the train drivers and the doctors continue to threaten strike action.

The train drivers’ union have shown their gratitude by advising their members this winter not to walk on snow to get to their choo-choos as it poses an elf and safety issue. NHS workers have displayed remarkably little gratitude for the extended holiday they got from 2020 to 2022 inclusive (much of it captured for our entertainment on Tik-Tok), while old folk were warehoused by the tens of thousands to save their place of work, and the whole country was imprisoned towards the same end.

In 2024 one of the Labour government’s early actions was to save £1.3billion by cutting old age pensioners’ winter fuel allowances, in what is predicted to be one of our coldest winters in recent years. This has been done to plug the other black hole – the £22billion one – made much of by Starmer and his inept and dishonest Chancer of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves. As they had just spent an estimated £9.4billion which was ploughed into settling public sector pay rises, it is clear where there priorities lie. For ‘workers control of production’ read ‘workers license to dip into the national coffers at will and bugger the rest of you’.

There is ample evidence for the other plank of Starmer’s philosophy regarding ‘a united front against far-right parties’. In fact, he could be considered to be obsessed with the far-right. Or at least, since they barely exist in the UK, using the spectre of the far-right to instil fear in Guardian readers, direct the actions of the police and drive the judiciary towards severe sentencing for anyone who, according to the current government, fits the description of being far-right.

Thus, people expressing an understanding of why there were riots following the Southport slaughter, asking if the perpetrator was a Muslim (he was), taking part peacefully in protests, being an innocent bystander, sharing videos – already available on the BBC – on social media or expressing some hurty words about the kind of people who murder innocent young girls, were imprisoned. They remain in prison, the way having been cleared for them by the cynical and premature release of over 3000 criminals, including some right wrong ‘uns. At least one man has died – allegedly by his own hand – in prison. His crime: holding a placard.

Then witness the meltdown by Sir Keir and those who surround him at the pointing out of the blindingly obvious regarding the organised rape gangs operating in many of our cities with large Muslim populations. Those who do are accused of being far-right, as are those who call for a public inquiry into how the uncovering of the organised rape of thousands of young largely white girls in these same cities was badly mishandled by everyone involved.

This is the reality of showing ‘a united front against far-right parties’: releasing dangerous criminals; giving barely a hoot about the traumas suffered by victims (too readily referred to as ‘survivors’) of the organised rape gangs, and the risk of being labelled far-right and put in the clink if you go against the approved narrative. We seem more concerned with non-existent concepts such as ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘white privilege’, and perpetual guilt about colonialism.

If anything keeps Keir Starmer awake at night, it is probably where the next freebie is coming from. Last month alone he accepted £1000 worth of tickets to watch Arsenal. His avarice for freebies is legendary: free use of a luxury apartment in London; top of the range clothing and spectacles, and tickets to Taylor Swift concerts. A colleague berated me for calling Starmer a left-winger, instead describing him as a capitalist, as if only capitalists were greedy. History shows that, almost to a man, communist leaders reach the top spouting about dictatorship of the proletariat. But the proletariat soon learn their place when the leader reaches the top.

Starmer is a classic class warrior, albeit one in a smart suit. His persecution of the farming community and those who choose to spend their own money privately educating their children are obvious manifestations. If I am reading the runes correctly, there may be something that is genuinely keeping him awake right now and that is a premature return to the backbenches. Those who voted for him will in future be more careful about what they hope for, and his fellow politicians know that he is now more of a liability than an asset. However, as he lacks a conscience, it is highly probable that he will have to be pushed. He is spectacularly unlikely to come to his own conclusion that it is clearly time to go.

Shame on Labour — Britain Will NEVER Forget Their Spineless Betrayal

Justice delayed is justice denied, and the British people will not forget this dereliction of duty.

Labour MPs tonight (8 January 2025) rejected a national inquiry into child sexual exploitation and grooming gangs, sparking outrage from victims, campaigners, and the wider public.

The motion, proposed by Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch, was defeated by 364 votes to 111, with Labour MPs ordered to follow Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s three-line whip to block the inquiry. The scandal, one of the darkest chapters in recent British history, involved the systematic abuse of vulnerable girls, primarily by British-Pakistani grooming gangs.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp condemned Labour’s decision, branding it “an appalling betrayal of victims and a slap in the face to the entire nation.” He added: “Labour MPs have turned a blind eye to justice for the victims. How will they explain this disgraceful decision to their constituents?”

Kemi Badenoch Hits Out at Starmer

During fiery exchanges at PMQs earlier in the day, Kemi Badenoch directly challenged Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing him of silencing efforts to expose the full extent of the scandal. She said:

“The Prime Minister cannot tell the House the full scale of the scandal. He does not want questions asked of Labour politicians who may be complicit. He will not listen to the victims who are calling for a national inquiry.

“This is one of the worst scandals in recent British history. How will Labour members explain to their constituents that obeying the Prime Minister’s whip is more important than doing the right thing?”

Whipped Into Line

Starmer’s three-line whip forced Labour MPs to vote against the inquiry, with the threat of expulsion from the Parliamentary party for those who defied the order. Critics have suggested this move may have been driven by concerns over the Prime Minister’s tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) during the height of the grooming gang scandal in Oldham.

A Divisive Decision

The refusal to back the inquiry has been widely condemned, with campaigners arguing that victims deserve a full, transparent investigation into systemic failures that allowed abuse to persist.

One Conservative MP commented: “Labour has shown tonight that it is more interested in protecting certain people than in seeking justice for victims. The country will not forget this shameful betrayal.”

Public anger is mounting, with many questioning why Labour would block an inquiry into such a harrowing issue. The fallout from this decision is likely to dominate political discourse in the weeks to come.

These are the 364 MPs who voted against the national inquiry. Shame on them all. Britain shall never forget:
