Is PM coming up Trumps?
Daily Express
|March 15, 2025
AS SOMEONE been putting "Trump Potion" into Keir Starmer's porridge? Because, for the past week, Mr Flip-Flop has actually been looking like a leader talking about doing stuff that will help this country and its people.
-
I know - shock horror!
He's started rampaging through what was, until now, Tory territory, claiming he'll take on the bloated civil service, which has exploded by 130,000 since Brexit, lambasting it as "overstretched, unfocused and unable to deliver security".
He also says he's going to slash £5billion from Britain's humungous welfare bill by taking away many sickness and disability benefits and, while he didn't actually call some of the claimants "skivers", he wasn't far off.
He then announced the abolition of NHS England, one of the worst and most useless quangos, and has promised the money will go directly to treating patients instead. And as NHS England employs 18,600 office staff, that should be a hell of a lot of money.
And that quango, says Starmer, will be the first of many in what he promises will be a bonfire of them.
