Boris Johnson: People I meet abroad now pity Americans the British on the purity of Starmer's socialist medal Sogfest of gloom

Boris Johnson: People I meet abroad now pity Americans the British on the purity of Starmer's socialist medal Sogfest of gloom

 


One of the joys of Zooming the world is seeing our country through the eyes of others and catching the gossip around the global campfire.

For most of the past decades, reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

'Ah! Great Britain! ' They say happily, as soon as they clap their eyes on you.

The mere sight of a British national is enough to trigger a flood of happy memories.

You hear about the great little Sussex school that looked after their children, or how their daughter is a trainee vet in Glasgow and love it.

You hear about when they worked in London as a junior banker or chef or apprentice hod-carrier, or whatever, and how they regard our capital as the greatest place on Earth.

You hear about the pubs, the theaters, the incorrigible, uninhibited British sense of humor: the sense of freedom that is so invaluable culturally, economically.

You read a little, and you think how nice it is to hear such compliments from strangers, and you can be forgiven. This is indeed reassuring, because these opinions matter.

They matter for investment, for jobs, for the entire future of the country. So, I have to be frank and point out that over the last few months the tone of the commentary has started to change.

'Ah! Great Britain! ' They say, with a long, soft sigh, and they hold your hand as if you've just been diagnosed with an incurable disease.

How are you doing? They ask. How are you? I'm really sorry about what's happening there.

Of course, at this point you are protesting patriotically and defending our global reputation. You accurately highlight the UK's unique and enormous strengths and the extraordinary potential that remains to be unlocked.

You have a terrible sense, as you speak, that you just don't get through, as they stare at you with glassy-eyed disbelief.

You feel their pity pity! And you grind your teeth with rage and frustration.

I know Britain is an incredible country. You know it. But this reality is increasingly obscured by the purity of the Starmer government.

When Britain's friends and admirers look at us now, they see a country that seems perversely determined to carry out a 1970s-style experiment in socialism, with all the misery involved. They see a government that seems to exult positively in the conduct of wealth creators abroad, with a millionaire now fleeing every 45 minutes.

Watch this clip of Darren Jones, the simpiant Treasury Minister, being asked if he regrets this catastrophe the first active brain drain this country has suffered in half a century.

Does this bother him? Does he care? What the heck. He just licks his lips, the idiot Marxist student.

When our friends look at Britain, they see schools under mad ideological attack, with old educational establishments forced to close, reeling from a working tax regime of a kind otherwise imposed in Europe.

They see a country once considered a bastion of free speech transformed into the most repressive society west of Russia. They hear about hundreds of people who have been criticized in innocent mothers, who have never before fallen against the law losing their freedom for months, for a random remark (quickly regretted) on social media.

They see a government that not only refuses to tell the truth about events such as the Southport murders, but publicly and shamefully loots those who do.

Worse still, they see a British economy increasingly lost in a loop of classic socialist doom. “It’s the debt that worries me,” one investor told me this week in Washington. “It’s debt and interest rates, without a growth strategy.”

Then he sees a crisis coming. This is an economic crisis lovingly manufactured by Rachel Reeves and the precision reduced by Starmer the tool maker's son.

They took the fastest-growing economy in the G7, then spent months talking about it, while bashing business with a new and expensive employment law.

At the same time, they pushed government spending with a load of unjustified pay rewards, to train drivers and others, then Pow! In October, Reeves shocked markets with swinging and unexpected business tax increases.

And after spending month after month removing confidence from the economy, they now have stagflation, with low growth, low incomes and still high interest rates, so we all have to spend more and more of our taxes to service the national debt.

The result is that we have a reckoned-up government incapable of doing the most basic things. They scrapped the plan to build 40 new hospitals, which this country desperately needs; Not because the plan is bad or unrealistic, but because they continue to blow our money on the wrong goals.

Never mind the pay rewards or not cutting 66,000 unnecessary central government jobs. Starmer should be forced to walk the corridors of our hospitals and tell the patients waiting there why he canceled my plan to build the hospital, but agreed to pay Mauritius 9 billion for the privilege of taking the islands of Chagos, when they rightly belong to Great Britain.

What planet is he on?

The rest of the world can see what's happening. The Chagos fiasco is the sort of thing that convinces the markets that Britain is in the grip of financially discontented left-wing teenagers, so of course they mark us.

This week, Rachel from Accounts went to Davos and tried to show the world's investors why they were wrong. She made a half-enthusiastic take on non-fields, as if to prove that Britain was not so hostile to talent.

It's too late. It's like spending the last six months exterminating every migrant bird in your yard, then throwing a handful of peanuts out the window and hoping they come back.

Finally, she pulled out that old desperate Treasury growth autonomy plan for the third runway at Heathrow. Yes, we certainly need more runway space in the South East, but Heathrow is not the answer, and in any case, it is not enough.

We must rediscover the ambition and gumption for which this country was admired. If Reeves and Starmer want a growth plan, they should look at the United States, where Donald Trump has sparked a near-frenzy of popular and business confidence.

Come to that they should look at my book Unleashed (available in all good bookstores), with its ten-point plan to level up the UK and transform it into the most productive economy in Europe.

We cannot continue with STARMER'S SOGFEST SOGFEST. In much of Europe and North America, the Western world is turning toward center-right ideas. They opt for tax cuts, for deregulation and for freedom of expression.

They ban wokery and cancel culture that has chilled self-expression. It is only Britain unbelievably drifting helplessly in the opposite direction.

Our fans can see it and they are appalled. This consternation becomes more and more painful to bear.
