Sir Keir Starmer is getting very good at presenting himself as someone bland but potentially competent. After twelve years of the Tories failing to either improve the nation, deal effectively with long standing problems like migration and energy security or to be appreciably conservative, some voters might be willing to give Sir Keir Starmer a chance in Number Ten.

Unfortunately although Starmer himself might be quite competent at appearing sensible and trustworthy and who has policies based in the reality based universe, the same cannot be said for many Labour MP’s. Lisa Nandy MP (pictured above) for example, when campaigning for the Labour Party leadership position, gave her full support for the cult of trans and to the idea of male rapists being housed on the female prison estate.

The Guido Fawkes site said:

“Back when she was campaigning to become Labour leader, Lisa Nady was asked directly whether men identifying as women should be allowed in women’s prisons. The questioner used the 2018 example of a child rapist who was convicted and then went onto claim he was a woman. Nandy was asked whether he should be accommodated in a women’s or a men’s prison…

“I believe fundamentally in people’s right to self ID… so I think that crimes that are recorded should be recorded as that person wishes.”

“You asked about whether trans people should be in women’s or men’s prisons. I think trans women are woman and trans men are men. So I think they should be accommodated in the prison of their choosing.” “

Nandy’s response to a question that should have been answered by saying male rapists should not be in women’s prisons, tells us a lot about what the Labour Party is and what it has become. It also tells us that behind Sir Keir Starmer’s very effective bland, potentially competent everyman image is a party full of nutters. Nutters who believe in such wrong headed ideas such as there being 100 different genders, that the nation’s borders should be propped open, that Islam is a religion of peace and that the country would only become a utopia once the entirety of the nation’s GDP was funnelled into to fiscal drainhole that is the National Health Service.

I can’t vote for Starmer’s party no matter how well Starmer presents himself. This is because I know that voting for Starmer is also a vote for the very worst that the Labour Party can produce. If Starmer is made Prime Minister then it could be the likes of Lisa Nandy and her mistaken belief that trans women are women occupying one of the great offices of state. No matter how much I now dislike the Tories I don’t think I could bring myself to vote for that scenario.
