Starmer introduces DIGITAL ID, time for him to EXIT

All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening in the UK. We have Stomers' announcement of digital ID cards, mandatory digital ID cards, which is causing a whole lot of anger in the UK. And we also have, I believe, the labor conference is starting up. And once again, Stommer, very unpopular, even within his own party, it seems. So what's happening in the UK? Well, let's first of all start with Starmer and his popularity. A couple of videos ago, I said he was the most unpopular prime minister in British history. We now have opinion polls, which confirm that conclusively.

He is, according to the opinion polls, the most unpopular prime minister in British electoral, modern electoral history since polling began. So he is a deeply unpopular man. He is doing exactly the things that we predicted that he would focus on from when, before he became prime minister. And since he became prime minister, we said that he would push for European integration and that he would also try to tighten up the control and repressive apparatus within Britain itself. And of course, about pursuing European integration, we've decided. discuss this in many programmes. We've touched on some of the things, the more authoritarian steps that he's been taking in Britain until up to now. But now he's taken the big leap and he's gone

for digital IT cards. And he wants this is going to be an app that's going to be on everybody's phone. As you correctly said, it's going to be mandatory. It's apparently designed so that they can get every conceivable piece of information about you that can be gleaned through electronic means. It is going to be an absolutely sweeping thing. It completely violates British political and civil traditions. I mean, Britain has always been opposed to ID cards in any form, but certainly it has never embraced these. I mean, it would mean that Britain, from having no ID cards would have the most comprehensive, detailed and meticulous ID cards anywhere west of China. Just to say, I mean, it's far worse than anything you get in.

Even in the EU now, of course, everybody would quickly copy it. We would be, I mean, if you worry about things like credit scores, social credit scores and those kind of things. Well, you know, Starma will of course say that this is not the plan, but it would certainly become possible, just to say, technically possible. So, of course, he's now come up with this great idea. And it's not new. It was first floated 30 years ago by Tony Blair. As I well remember, Tony Blair has always pushed this idea. He's never given up on it within the the British Home Office, the Interior Ministry, if you prefer, there's always been a demand to move forward with ID cards. The fact that this idea has been around for so long tells you that it is nothing

to do with the immigration issues that people are talking about. Stama says that it's all about stopping illegal immigration. But what neither Stama nor indeed the political class as a whole ever want to admit is that in fact the vast majority of people who enter the UK as migrants do so legally. So this is a, Britain has an issue with legal migration, not illegal migration. And of Because legal migrants presumably would not be penalised, if that's the right word, by the scheme, at least not penalised any more than everybody else would. This is a simple, straightforward device to achieve greater control of the British population. And it is exactly what Stama was brought to power by all of the people who make up.

the British establishment to Deep State to do, to bring Britain back into the EU and to ensure the control of Britain by its political class. So I just wanted to say this because it needs to be explained and understood, but it was absolutely something we may not have anticipated this particular plan, but if you go to all our coverage of Stama, of what we were saying about him, even before the election took place, it's exactly in line with what we were saying. And it was not difficult because the fact that this was the agenda was basically there for everyone to see. So that's the first thing I wanted to say. So he's now pushing harder and far. on this idea. It must be said, there is opposition to it. The Conservatives oppose it.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has done a whole programme video about it, saying what a totalitarian thing this would be. There are many people within the Labour Party who oppose it as well, but nobody should be under any doubt that this has a much greater chance of being brought into law than it was the case in Tony Blair's day. And if Stama isn't able to do it, they will try and find the next person who will. Now, when we did our last program on the plots against Stama, and of course these are now intensifying, because everybody could see that he's the most unpopular prime minister ever, and the government is falling and failing fast, we said that the basic reason, the only thing that was helping Starrman and enabling him to stay where he was, was, was that they couldn't yet agree on an alternative. Well, they now apparently think they have

found one. This is not West Streeting, who we discussed previously, who is deeply unpopular with the British people, but the mayor of Manchester, who is a man called Andy Burnham. And Andy Burnham is an interesting man. He claims to be on the left. He's based in Manchester. Manchester, Liverpool, which is Port City, a little to the west of Manchester. This is very much old Labour heartland. Labour Party is still has residual support there. So as I said, this is an important power centre within the labour world. So Andy Burnham presenting himself as a little bit more to the left.

He's not to the left. He was one of Tony Blair's most faithful lieutenants. He then became his supporter of Gordon Brown, when Gordon Brown was prime minister. And he didn't get on with Corbyn at all, which is why he became mayor of Manchester. He managed to reorganize the buses in Manchester. And he's now trading on that to claim that he's more left, a more left, wing alternative than Stammer, but nobody should be fooled by that. So Stammer has fulfilled his goal.

It's time for him to leave, right? Yes. I mean, you know, this is being presented as Stammer's being removed. He's being ousted by maybe his own party, by other forces in British politics. But the reality of the situation is that if you're a... If you're one of the UK establishment, you're looking at Stammer and you're saying, okay, job well done. You accomplished most of what we put you in place to accomplish.

Now it's time for you to exit and for us to get the new person in power, right? I mean, you reverse Brexit, or at least you got the reversal of Brexit well on its way. So he's done that. He kept the UK in Project Ukraine and he kept the UK in proxy war with Russia. So he accomplished that. The UK became the number one. country that's in conflict with Russia, right? So he did a really good job there and all the money that funneled into the black hole that is that is Project Ukraine. So job well done. And as far as

the digital ID goes, you know, you push that along as well. At least you got it out there. The taboo has kind of been broken, right? He announced it. He got it going. So even if it's, even if it's rejected, it'll go up for another vote and then another vote. Eventually they'll get it past, just like what happened in Switzerland, Switzerland, got it passed. Just the other day, right? Today, they got their ID, their digital ID, barely got it past. It's different than the UK's. It has different technical specs, and it's not mandatory, but it doesn't matter. Eventually, it'll become mandatory. Eventually, they'll all take on the same specifications in Europe with the digital ID. It'll become the same prison for everyone everywhere. But I guess my question is,

there's a bit of misdirection, isn't there? I mean, it's not that they're so. They're so upset with Stamer as much as you came, you did what you needed to do. Now you need to move on. Well, absolutely, because politically you failed. You've not been popular. We have the real possibility that Farage might win the election. And elections in Britain for all kinds of reasons are more difficult to arrange than in other countries. So it's time to move on and to get somebody new, somebody more popular.

Somebody who we can convincing you, or at least pretend is a little bit more to the left of you. Somebody who talks about, you know, taxes, mansion taxes and those kind of taxes on wealthier people, not the really rich people, not the globalist elite, of course, but the higher earning middle classes. Anyway, that's, we can talk about that. We can talk about how this person is left wing, he's based in many, Manchester, this is a, you know, a city that has always been left-wing. It's a bastion of labourism. So we're going to bring a more left-wing person in. And as I said, there's no reality to any of this. If you follow Burnham's career, as I have done, he is an entirely protean character. He changes, he changes like a chameleon to adapt himself always to the current political climate, but fundamentally, and in the end, he is a member of the British elite and of the

establishment and of the Labour Party establishment as well. He's in that respect very little different from Stom. So what do we go from here with the UK? Final question. What's going to, what's going to happen? Are we going to see elections? Are we going to see a Farage or is Labor going to get their guy in power and then we're going to get another couple of years of this stuff. Stamer number two, Stammer version two. Well, I think the first thing to say is that we're probably going to see Stama leave at some point over the next few weeks and months. I don't personally think he's going to survive until May.

I think the government's going to do a budget in November. I don't think he's going to be popular at all. I think that around Christmas, New Year, there will be major political push to getting to step down. And I think the plan is, because they don't really want a leadership election. They will then build up Andy Burnham and they will say that this is the man who's got to take over. There are a few problems here because he doesn't have a seat because when he, and became mayor of Manchester, he gave up his seat in the House of Commons, so they'll have to find somebody somewhere who's willing to step down

so that Burnham can step in and take over in what will have to be. A very safe seat indeed, probably somewhere in Manchester or that area. But, you know, there are technical problems, there are logistical problems, if you like. But they won't want a leadership election. And they will then anoint Burnham Prime Minister. And he will continue the same agenda that Stama has with a few more, a bit more left-wing rhetoric than we've had from Starm. More old labour, maybe let's call it old labour rhetoric than we got out of Stama. and there will be an upward bump for the Labour Party in the opinion polls as they usually is,

and then that will fade. But with every step in this process, with every step in this process, more time is brought. We will see ideas like the digital ID cards advanced further. There will be more steps taken to strengthen police powers. to strengthen other controls. And the idea is that when you do eventually have an election, it takes place in conditions which make ensure that the political class retains control. So, you know, we've got four years to go.

And that is, of course, a very long time. And these people will use it to the extent that they can to achieve that. In the meantime, the economy will continue to deteriorate. Technological stagnation will deepen. There was a big amount of talk, you know, two weeks ago about the AI deal that Trump and Stama concluded. It now turns out that that's exclusively and entirely about setting up data centers in Britain. that's all that that is all about ultimately. So Britain, and American owned data centers in Britain,

just to make that absolutely clear. So technological stagnation will continue. Living standards will probably continue to fall. There might continue to be growing discontent and disaffection. But in the means, In the political class, that's their plan anyway. We'll try and retain control. Yeah.

All right, that's the plan. Okay, we will end it there. The durand.locos.com. We are on X and Telegram and Rumble and go to Durant shop, pick up some merch like what we are wearing in this video update. There is a link in the description box down below. Take care.
