Nigel Farage made an"emergency general election announcement" on Monday, the emergency presumably being that he felt he wasn't being given sufficient attentionNIGEL Farage is the cold sore of British politics, nasty, unpleasant, and every time you think you've got rid of it, it comes back.
Farage has effectively declared war on the Tory party, saying that the Tory brand is"ruined" and saying that he felt"betrayed" by theparty. He added:"I don’t want to join the Conservative party. I think the better thing to do would be to take it over." That is something which should concern us all, even - indeed especially - in Scotland where the great majority are immune to his shtick.and may very well fail on his eighth attempt, but he has been very successful in pushing British politics further and further to the right.
In 2014 Better Together scoffed at the prospect of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister and rejected the possibility of Brexit, look what happened. Starmer has already transformed Labour into a centre-right party unrecognisable from the original socialist founders of the Labour Party.Yet more evidence of the rightwards drift of the Labour Party has come to light as the party's deputy leader Angela Rayner has supported her boss's policy of a"triple lock" on the Trident missile programme and commitments to build four new nuclear submarines and maintain the existing fleet.
"Angela Rayner and David Lammy both rightly attacked the UK government for renewing Trident – but are now preparing to hand over a blank cheque to Sir Keir Starmer to impose austerity on the public while prioritising nuclear missiles."
