Angela Rayner’s back – it will be a total disaster and slap Britain back to the 1970s

Dead man walking Sir Keir Sarmer enters his likely final week as the most unpopular prime minister on record.

In 2024 the robotic nonentity vowed his new government was “ready to serve… ready to restore Britain to the service of working people”.

He even had the nerve to say a weight had been lifted after years of Conservative rule and a burden removed from the shoulders of this great nation.

And he promised the country would emerge into the “sunlight of hope with the opportunity to get its future back”.

Proof, then, that words are cheap.

It will be a surprise to absolutely no one that Starmer and Labour have proved deeply unpopular with the public.

The PM’s plunging approval rating – consistently hovering around -50% – has sunk to depths not previously witnessed.

It is why on Thursday the party he leads looks set to lose more than 75 per cent of the council seats it is defending as the country delivers a damning verdict, and with it, the final nail is his coffin.

As the political landscape starts to shift as results filter through, the assassinations will start.

The trouble is what comes could be worse, not better.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting – a nodding dog throughout so much of Sir Keir’s premiership – is confident of having the requisite number of MPs to support a leadership bid.

Likewise Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, who is itching to knife Starmer after he was barred from standing in the Gorton and Denton by-election in February.

Angela Rayner and Ed Miliband will follow​, making up the final two of a four-way socialist shower ​i​n ​the race to the bottom.

There have been no winners from this tax-obsessed Labour government drunk on power and which has launched ideological-driven raids on pensioners, farmers, landlords, second home owners, and parents who simply want to better the prospects of their children by educating them at private schools.

In two years taxes have been hiked by £66bn as Labour bleeds us all dry.

Businesses are broke and are going under at record rates, energy prices are sky-high, and petrol is now unaffordable for many.

Britain is stuck in a perpetual loop of doom thanks to the incompetence of a government which is against creating wealth and success, the things that should fuel a successful economy, because of its dogmatic beliefs.

Instead we’re in the doldrums with CPI inflation at 3.3%, sluggish growth, downward forecasts, and the handbrake pulled on consumer spending.

At the May 7 elections – an effective referendum on Starmer – thousands of dedicated local councillors will be shown the door because of the failings of the party he leads.

The buck will stop with him, as it should, and the PM will be put out of his misery – finally – but what about the rest of us?

We all know where this ends: with hard-left radical Rayner, the darling of the trade union movement who left school aged 16 without any qualifications, as PM and Britain hurtling back to the 1970s.

It might sound strange to say after two years of misery, but the nightmare might only just be starting.
