1 January - The downward spiral of Labour’s Britain

Kneel StarmerWhat an awful year 2025 has been for freedom lovers, entrepreneurs, businessmen and anyone who loves Britain. Does Rachel Reeves from Complaints never stop dreaming up new taxes and increasing old ones? Has she no idea how a thriving economy works? A simpler question would be does Keir Starmer ever stop lying? At least the answer to that is only too obvious.

When Labour came to power in July 2024 I decided to keep a record of all the stupid things the tool maker’s son’s government did. Having lived under every post WWII Labour Government I am only too aware of how bad they can be. The deluge of mistakes and miscalculations by Starmer and Co. would be otherwise too easily forgotten. My forecast that Starmer would last only 18 months may be a little wide of the mark but I was right about him handing control of Gibralter’s border to the Spanish and the loss of Diego Garcia. Traitorous behaviour is in this Labour Government’s DNA.

Some of his changes are small but far reaching. Funding to combat Female Genital Mutilation has gone. Low value parcels privately imported from overseas will be subject to Customs Duty from 2029. Tax on savings up from 20% to 22%. The recommended minimum width of roads has been reduced, there is an extra tax on the manufacture of gas boilers, you can no longer buy hot chocolate in Wetherspoons, proposed VAT on health insurance and taxi fares, the unemployed will no longer have to look for work to get benefits and Councils allowed to sell allotments without consultation. And that is just in the last three months. Don't even look at your higher tax bills and rocketing prices.

Labour has to go. May 7th is not too far away if London elections are not cancelled along with the 63 County Councils.

Below is not a comprehensive list of attacks upon the country, it is merely those that I noticed in 2025.

2025. The year when incompetence, stupidity and corruption ruled
