The Rout at Dunstable

 

Now we know why Keir Starmer wants to cancel elections. A by-election for the seat of Dunstable West in the Central Bedforshire Council has given newcomer Shaun Moulster a massive victory. He is with Reform UK, the first time the party has ever stood in Dunstable. It is a massive swing against the Conservatives who formerly held that seat with the mayor Liz Jones. Labour were knocked into an embarrassing fourth place. If only Count Binface had turned up it would have been fifth!

You might think this is just one local election in a small town, but I suspect it is a harbinger of what is to come. I'd like to think Starmer would resign over this and the other disasters in his cursed premiership, but he is stubbornly hanging around like an annoying New Year relative. His plan to delay this year's local government elections has failed and I look forward to watching Labour getting pulverized again. However, they have not ruled out delaying any future parliamentary elections, even the general election in 2029, which is unconstitutional and obviously sinister. It's what Adolf Hitler did after winning the German election in 1932. However, unlike many people I don't consider Dunstable West an anti-establishment victory. I am now convinced that Nigel Farage's party is a front for a controlled counter-proposition in British politics. The researcher David A Hughes gives the analogy of the camps. Camp 1 is Normieville and Camp 3 is genuine opposition; but between them is Camp 2, a false rebellion intended to be a release valve for public fury and a diversion from a genuine solution.
