The timing of Labour's imminent win could not be worse. The UK is about to be ruled by a party that clings to the soggy pieties of social democracy, as it is rejected in Europe.
Britain appears to be on the verge of a political earthquake. This week's General Election looks likely to produce by far the biggest Labour landslide in history, while the Tories face the real prospect of annihilation as a political force.
Indeed, the sort of policies that Starmer now espouses – especially on national identity and mass immigration – have generated precisely the kind of disillusion and hostility that has been at the heart of the Right's dramatic rise. The first is that she has cleaned up her party's act through the adoption of more centrist economic policies, the expulsion of hardliners – including her own father and founder of the Front National, the notorious anti-Semite Jean-Marie Le Pen – and the installation of a youthful, charismatic new leader, Jordan Bardella.
In a similar vein, the PVV party led by outspoken anti-Islamist campaigner Geert Wilders became the largest in the Netherlands after last November's General Election, while Giorgia Meloni, whose victory for her Brothers Of Italy party in 2022 was built on the electorate's fury at bullying by Brussels and unceasing waves of immigration, has shrewdly consolidated her powerbase to become one of Europe's leading politicians.
She is right. There is a widespread sense of betrayal at what the globalist progressives have inflicted on the European nations through their ideological fixations, like their creed that 'diversity is our strength' or their belief that independence is a menace to humanity. In 2011, a few years before the Brexit referendum, a YouGov poll demonstrated that 62 per cent of British people agreed with the following statement: 'Britain has changed in recent times beyond recognition, it sometimes feels like a foreign country, and this makes me feel uncomfortable.
