Starmer reverses BREXIT before his EXIT

All right, Alexander, let's do an update on what is going on in the UK. What is going on with Kirstammer? He's got a lot of problems, a lot of problems, it seems. And he's also done his job, actually. He has a lot of problems, but he's also done what he was put in office to do, which is to reverse Brexit. And it seems he's done that, or at least he's taken a significant step towards doing that. So it's interesting that, at the time.

At the same time that he reverses most of Brexit, it looks like he's about to be hit with some huge scandals. At least that's how it looks. But we're still at the, I guess we're at the rumor stage, but things are accelerating on that front. They are accelerating and it ought to be said that Starma's political position was disintegrating before all of these rumors began. In fact, I'm going to go further,

and I'm going to say that I think we are probably the last months of Kirstarmer's premiership. That's a bold claim, and it should be said that it's never easy to remove a prime minister in Britain, though, as we've seen, it can be done. But the Labour Party, in particular, tends to be very, very loyal.

It's got histories of being very, very loyal to its leader. and I cannot think of a single instance where a Labour Prime Minister has up to now been forced out of power by his own party. But I think in Starmus case, we are coming very close to that point. And I think the signs of it are all over the place. I mean, the MPs, this is the parliamentary faction, are now an open rebellion against him. there are more and more threats that they're going to vote against him in parliamentary votes. There's complaints from the trade unions that this is not a Labour government in any sense that they understand.

And I think the general mood in the country about Stamos specifically is not just that he is unpopular, but that he is worse than unpopular. he's seen as hopeless. He doesn't command the political stage. He isn't really interested in governing Britain at all. That things get worse pretty much every day in Britain. We've discussed this in many places, but there's this talk that the government, for example,

is now going to retreat from its cuts on winter fuel payments to pensioners. that there's a recognition that this is politically unsupportable. So if they start retreating from that, which is, you know, almost the first thing they did as a government, that will be seen as a sign that Starma is losing control, inevitably so. And given that they said that they had to cut those winter fuel payments because they needed to do that in order to close a hole, in the budget. How then do they talk about that going forward? Because the whole in the budget

in the sense that it exists has simply grown bigger since then. Do they put up taxes? Do they cut in other places? What exactly do they do? And one can easily see that that's going to create a whole new round of crisis if they raise taxes. That will be massively unpopular throughout the country and it will depress the economy even further. Is they cut other benefits? Which other benefits exactly? Remember that Stama doesn't have a huge amount of political capital behind him. Another prime minister elected in a different way might have been able to cut benefits and say that he's doing this for the good of the country.

country. But people are not prepared to give Stama the benefit of the doubt about this. He doesn't have that support in Britain to pull this off. So I'm afraid you're absolutely right about Brexit. He has brought Britain essentially back. He's reversed what Boris Johnson did. Boris Johnson came as close to a no-deal Brexit as it was possible to go. Stama has realigned. Britain very closely with the EU at multiple levels. And what that means is because he's so unpopular, because he's done what the power brokers who backed him wanted him to do, there is no further need of him. It might be that this is the time for him to go.

It's time for him to exit. He's done his job. He's done his job. Now, time to go. What benefit did the UK get out of this negotiation with the EU? I mean, it seems like they lost everything. They're giving up so much to the European Union, and they don't even have a vote in the European Union.

I mean, I don't know. It seems to me that it might have just been better to just reenter the European Union. At least you could sit at the table and vote on the rules that the EU is going to put onto you. It looks like he has surrendered the UK sovereignty to the European Union without being able to at least sit at the table and vote on some of these things. Well, if you go back to the various discussions we used to have years ago during the Brexit war, when we were talking about Theresa May's Brexit plan, you remember her plan?

We were making on those programs. You can go far enough down. You can find them on the Duran. Yeah, the videos we did at that time. We were making exactly that point that what Theresa May's Brexit plan was all about was that Britain remains a part of the EU to all intents and purposes, except, of course, that it no longer has a vote in the European Council. So the EU can change its rules, pass new regulations, do all kinds of things.

Britain is obliged to follow all of those rules, and Britain has no say in making those rules anymore. It would have been better if Britain had stayed in. It's an actually worse situation than if Britain had stayed in, which, of course, completely goes against what the people who voted for Brexit were expecting. We made that point many, many times in all of those programmes. Well, we've ended up in exactly that point again. It's happened with minimal discussion, minimal publicity. There's hardly been any, you know, stirring within the general, well, the people

are probably very angry about this, but I mean, you know, we're not, it's been done, if you like, as we say in Britain, a hole in the corner way, quietly, surreptish, without much discussion, we've ended up essentially with Theresa May's Brexit, which is what the 2019 election ultimately was supposed to be all about not having. And again, we made this point going back when we discussed Theresa May's Brexit. It's also true about Stama's Brexit. Given the logic of this kind of Brexit is that you're in a stronger position if you actually go that step further and rejoin the EU, because at that point you become, again, a member with a vote in the European Council. It is clearly intended ultimately to take us back into the EU. I mean, that's what this whole thing is all about.

The next Prime Minister. The next Prime Minister. The next Labour Prime Minister, Westreting, who has already been selected. Yeah. Yeah. They do not stop until they get to the outcome that they want. We saw that in Romania. We're seeing it in Brexit.

Brexit took them a while, but they figured out a way to get the UK back into Brexit. Yeah. Stommer, frozen out of... Ukraine as well, the Ukraine negotiations, the Ukraine talks. Trump's post on Truth Social after he spoke with the Russian president, he mentioned the leaders that he spoke with after he had a telephone call with Putin, after he then called Zelensky, he then mentioned that he talked to leaders in Europe. One name was visibly absent from that list, and it was Stomer.

Yes. Well, I have a suspicion that a guess, it's a guess, a suspicion that perhaps not only is Trump annoyed and upset with Stommer, he obviously doesn't like Stommer. Of course, you have Stommer meddling in or labor, labor Stomber meddling in the U.S. elections on behalf of Kamala Harris. I'm sure Trump has not forgotten that. But maybe Trump was also told by his staff that Stommer at this moment is toxic. There are these rumors that are floating out there about Stammer and probably best if you keep your distance from this guy. I'm sure that's true. I'm sure he was also told or probably told by people in his own team. There's no need for you to talk to Stama anyway because, firstly, he's not that important anymore. And secondly, he'll be gone very soon. So you're trying to waste your time with him.

Makes sense, probably. That's what he was told here. All right. Anything else you want to add? Should you wrap up this video? Well, I don't think this is going to take very long. British prime ministers can fall very fast. When the moment starts, you know, when the knives are being sharpened, it could take,

it would probably take a few months, but, you know, not much longer than that. I'm going to say a few months, two or three. Two or three, too many, maybe, but some will save, but still, I don't get the sense that there's anything that Starma can do that can turn this round. I mean, he doesn't have the political skills that a politician would need to turn this round. This would be very difficult for even a much more skillful politician than he is to do. And I don't think he has those skills. The only thing I don't know with Stama is whether he understands that his political career is now on the line. I mean, with other politicians who find themselves in this situation, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, all of those.

They did undoubtedly enough. They understood that, you know, they were hanging by a thread. I think Stama is so disconnected from reality that he might still think that he's in full control and continue to govern Britain on that basis. He's going to probably make another trip to Ukraine. Oh, Ukraine, absolutely. We probably know why he's so invested in Ukraine. Anyway. There are rumors.

Let me put it like that. Yeah. I think the message that they're sending Stammer is very clear. It's time for you to go. Yes. Yeah. It's really been a group effort, destroying the UK and rolling back Brexit. It has really been a team effort.

How many prime ministers? Four or five? Well, I know. To get to this point? Well, indeed. Labor, conservative. They definitely put their lack of talent together in order to destroy what was the United Kingdom. And can I just say, the person who's been talked to.

about as the most likely person to take over who is West Streeting, he's not very popular. Just to say, I mean, he almost lost his seat. Remember, this is a Labour landslide. A Labour supposedly won the election back last year in a landslide, but he lost almost came within a couple of hundred votes of losing his seat in that landslide. People don't particularly like him. I mean, he's seen as an archblerite and all that. And he's not popular at all. He's one of these people who is being built, being built up by the media, by sections of the political classes, this charismatic, wonderful political leader.

But outside the political class, exactly. Like Stammer before him, like Boris Johnson, like Theresa. Exactly. Exactly. But, you know, I mean, he will have no. more political capital than Stama does. He has less because, of course, he won't have led Britain to, he won't have led Labour to victory in the election. So, anyway, there it is.

So this is one of the other problems because you're absolutely right. But what we're getting is one non-entity prime minister replacing another. I mean, even by the low standards that we've reached in the 90s and early 2000s with, you know, Blair and Cameron and people like that, this is, this is, I mean, we've fallen significantly below that level. I mean, the time where, you know, we had Titans who were in Downing Street. I mean, it's absolutely gone. I mean, they're all non-entities and seen as such. And there's no one in the Labour Party who looks remotely convincing as, you know, future leader of Britain at this time. There's no one in the Conservative Party who looks convincing either.

The present Conservative leader, Kemi Badenock, is by universal opinion, almost universal opinion. I shouldn't say universal because she personally, presumably thinks she's doing well. But everybody else sees her as a zero. So the traditional political class has no one. Some think that this opens the way for Nigel Farage, but we know that in politics, in Europe today, in Western Europe today, things are not that simple. Yeah. Reminds me of a relay race in a way, you know, it's just one guy passing the baton to the other

guy just to get them over the whatever the finish line is. It doesn't matter who the person is. Yes. Just get to the next 50 meters and pass the baton off to the other person. Get to the next 100 meters. That is exactly what it is. And in the meantime, the streets are filled with rubbish, there's graffiti, more and more places. There's rat infestations in various British states.

cities, including, by the way, in London, including by the way in the neighborhood where I have my house, which is an affluent area. They don't care. They don't care. You know, Anna Lena Bearbach said it best. Yes. Two and a half years ago. She really said it best. The one time that she was actually being honest and insightful, she said, we don't care what the citizens, what the voters want. Exactly. She just came out and said it. We don't care. Exactly. Right there. All right. We'll end the video there. The durand. Dotlocos.com. We are on Rumble Odyssey, pitch, you telegram, RockFit, and X.
