The thing about dishonesty from politicians is that it ultimately corrodes and destroys democracy

itself. You see, if you can no longer believe in anything that a politician ever says,

anything that they ever promise, then your faith in the democratic system itself collapses.

Politicians can just go around saying anything and everything, knowing that they'll never

have to do anything that they promise and knowing there will be never any consequences for

their dishonesty. And when both main political parties do this sort of once in dishonesty,

it becomes an informal pact because neither then has a moral high ground to hold the other

to account for their own dishonesty and so democracy just becomes a morass of lies. And so we

return again to Keir Starmer and his serial dishonesty. Today I've been trending on Twitter

all day because I went on Good Morning Britain and did something unforgivable, something criminal.

I told the truth. You see, Keir Starmer's team decided to brief the Murdoch press yesterday

so that they were going to abandon yet another of the pledges that he made to get elected

leader of the Labour Party back in 2020. He has essentially now abandoned the entire leadership

pitch, his entire democratic mandate from 2020 and a Labour source was candid about this,

telling the Times newspaper, it's one of the remaining commitments from 2019 that we will be clear

we have moved on from. Moved on from is of course a euphemism for abandoning a solemn pledge.

Now here's what I said on Good Morning Britain. Problem is Keir Starmer stood on a leadership platform.

He's actually in the papers there, abandoning his pledge on tuition fees, he promised the

nationalised key utilities, he promised to increase taxes on the rich, he's abandoned all of those

pledges, but he hasn't at the same time, I think that was very just honest myself, but he hasn't

put a clear vision in its play. This is what Britain will look like under Labour. This is what we'll

do, we'll redistribute well. Which is what Alair succeeded in doing. Exactly. He came to the picture
