‘They’ve done absolutely nothing’: Douglas Murray hits out at ‘inept’ UK Labour government

Author Douglas Murray has hit out at the UK Labour Party over its “inept manner” in governing the country.
“It’s an extraordinary set of events; I think there’s a demonstration here of a number of things,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“The first is the inept manner in which the Labour Party is trying to govern the UK. They’ve done absolutely nothing to improve living standards or indeed Britain’s reputation domestically or abroad.”

I’m guessing, much like in the US, that a chunk of the UK leans towards xenophobia and racism-while somehow also supporting policies that make the everyday person poorer and the ultra-rich even richer. That about sums it up. Seriously, though-who actually believes that backing a billionaire-funded party like Reform UK is going to work out in their favor? Anyone taken a look at the US recently?

In my opinion both the Labour Party and the conservatives have made themselves unelectable. To my mind this has opened an opportunity for a new party to prove themselves capable of governing. To achieve this is more complicated than it sounds however staying focused on the key issues that a majority of the population are unhappy with, immigration, net zero, taxes and foreign spending can help a party like reform achieve this.

People need to stop mixing up Tommy's predicament with Reforms policies! Rupert Lowe has spoken up for Tommy, but Nigel knows the rotten, corrupt media will twist anything which he says against him, and also against Tommy! People need to grow up and stop being reactionary, when they imagine that Nigel is dissing Tommy! Tommy is a journalist and also an activist, and Nigel knows that the media will edit his interviews to make it appear that he dislikes Tommy. Can people not see that they are being manipulated by dishonest media, in order to turn them against Nigel and Reform! The media work for government and civil service, so they don't want Reform to be more popular and gaining ground! Yet people fall for the media's tricks all the time unfortunately 😕

In my understanding, the British government is starting to apply the racism of the government in the light of its democratic citizens. The people no longer decide what is good and right, as accepted in a democracy, but the government lowers laws from above without even listening to the people, where is the democracy.
