Boris Johnson, in his characteristic style, has launched a scathing critique of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, focusing on the recent downfall of Transport Secretary Louise Haigh. Johnson paints a vivid picture of Haigh’s situation, describing her as a symbol of a government he views as riddled with deceit and hypocrisy.  

 

The saga begins with Haigh, whose youthful misjudgment has come to define her current predicament. A decade ago, she worked in the insurance industry at Aviva and was convicted of fraud after falsely claiming her mobile phone had been stolen to secure a replacement. Johnson, with characteristic flair, describes her as a young woman swept up in the consumerist desire for the latest gadgets, a scenario many might empathize with.  

"She wanted the same snazzy device as her friends," Johnson writes, adding that the ruse seemed "painless, victimless, and virtually cost-free." Yet the truth emerged when Aviva discovered one of the supposedly stolen phones in her home, leading to a criminal conviction.  

 

Johnson spares no sympathy for Haigh, dismissing her as “just a casual everyday fraudster, a swindler.” He also questions Starmer’s decision to appoint her, stating, “Starmer picked a fraudster for his Cabinet because he is the fraudster-in-chief. And he knows, in his heart, that the whole government is a fraud.”  

 

Johnson’s critique extends far beyond Haigh. He accuses the Labour government of breaking promises, particularly regarding taxation and fiscal responsibility. He recalls Labour’s pledge not to increase taxes on working people, which was later followed by a national insurance hike, contributing to inflation and economic strain. Johnson contends, “They attempted to justify this tax raid by falsely claiming that there was a black hole in the nation’s finances.”  

 

On foreign policy, Johnson lambasts the Labour government’s approach to Ukraine and their decision to hand over the Chagos Islands, a move he attributes to “Lefty spite and hatred of Britain’s colonial past.” He claims Labour’s actions have alienated allies and weakened Britain’s global standing.  

Johnson also revisits Labour’s stance on Brexit, mocking Starmer’s recent suggestion that Brexit contributed to high immigration numbers. He counters that Brexit is “the only mechanism” allowing Britain to control its borders, criticizing Labour’s abandonment of the Rwanda plan, which he argues was deterring illegal migration.  

 

Starmer himself is not spared from personal criticism. Johnson accuses him of hypocrisy, noting Starmer’s relationship with millionaire Waheed Alli, who reportedly provides him with suits and spectacles. “He portrayed himself as a pharisaical opponent of sleaze and corruption,” Johnson writes, referencing Starmer’s purported efforts to deceive the public.  

 

In closing, Johnson highlights Labour’s latest policies on the NHS, describing them as measures that will “oppress elderly people, divide families, agonize doctors, and enrich lawyers.” He claims these policies reflect a government out of touch with the needs of the people, focused instead on ill-conceived initiatives.  

 

Despite his sharp critique, Johnson ends on a note of optimism for his party, celebrating the Conservative lead in the polls under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership, the first such lead since his tenure as Prime Minister. This moment, for Johnson, signals a potential turning of the tide in British politics.

Irony is dead, killed by hypocrisy.
 

Johnson lecturing on fraud, other people’s behaviour and ‘connections’ is pure projection.

 

 

Starmer has a lot to answer for during his deceitful early days as PM. and deserves criticism. 

However Boris Johnson who left in disgrace is a proven liar and an idiot. Boris has no credence to criticise  anyone in government.

Johnson bang on the money again. Couldn't have said it better myself. 

 

If only he was still PM. Double legend.

At least we've got Rachel "from accounts" Reeves with her fake CV holding the purse strings.

 

The whole bunch of them are frauds. Like getting a bunch of blue haired sixth form students to run the country after a weekend at Glastonbury.

Of course he is, he’s projecting. He’s an expert on corruption, lies and incompetence.

 

 

Disgraced former PM Johnson says "ya boo sucks" to the government that trounced his corrupt ridden bunch of losers. This is duly parroted by the far right Daily Wail.

This is "World News"?

Millions of non-EU 'legal' migrants came into the UK after Brexit - these people are not just those taking working class jobs but loads of Asians with degrees who are taking middle class jobs, Hence why British University graduates struggle to find decent well paid work. Outer London suburbs are being taken over by Indians - where my brother lives, it has changed from a 90% white British community to 50/50 with Asians in the last 10 years. They are even turning up in rural Hampshire. Everywhere, more pressure on housing.
