What do people want from the government and Starmer?

This government inherited an open border immigration policy which saw 4.6 million arrivals in 3 years and net immigration of 2.6 million, the NHS was practically on its knees, the police were so understaffed and underfunded that there wasn’t enough police officers on the front line. Illegal immigration was on its peek and asylum claims peaked at 190K and the raise of nationalism and racism.

Starmer was supposed to solve all of this in his second day and when he wasn’t able to solve all of it in his second day they made him the most unpopular leader of all time and basically bullied him all around media but no one could tell why he was hated and what people expected from him. The far right expected him to kick all non whites and far left expected him to declare war on Israel, ban jews and open the borders wide and let everyone be citizens

So far in two years he had cut net immigration down by 80%, has cut inflation, removed the two child cap which lead to decrease of poverty among children, has a plan to solve the Boris wave, handled Trump very well, passed new tenant rights, invested in apprenticeship and education, increased minimum wage, increased work rights, made asylum a temporary status and to be permanent it’s needed a 30 years of residence, economy is up, fastest growing economy in G7, closer EU ties, better NHS and lower NHS waiting times.

So what do people want from Starmer and the government? For god’s sake let the man carry on with the job and let him finish his 5 year mandate. Just because he is not as charismatic and he is boring doesn’t mean he is bad.

I also do understand that far right people want to get rid of net

Why do people not realise that the Boris wave is a burden?

Like it or not, the UK can't issue 2.6 million ILR (permanent settlement) to the boris wave.

1.6 million of these migrants are low skilled workers, care workers and their dependents and their averare wage is less than £25k which makes them low earners meaning that they will qualify for some benefits like housing and childcare.

Im not saying all of the migrants are economic burdens, but issuing 2.6 million ILR in 3.5 years is economic suicide and no economy in The world can take that without destroying itself, and we all should admit that ASAP

When labour came in power their biggest challenge was to control welfare expenditure and to do so they had to take measures like ending the winter fuel allowance for pensionaires which worked at first but as soon as the boris wave would have qualified for welfared there would have been a catastrophic disaster because the boris wave would have added £10s of billion of cost annually in the system.

Im sick and tired people moaning about settlement changes not being fair and some people even call it inhumane when its not because we can’t afford to give 2.6 million people access to public funds, we cannot when we have our own retired people not being able to have heating and no country in the world can manage mass permanent migration in 2 years. 2.6 million is not a small number, this number is bigger than Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Liverpool combined.

So pls let Shahbana and Starmer work on this and let them pass their earned settlement bill which will make a positive impact on our economy.

Should we throw away this government that, in two years, has cut inflation, cut immigration by over 70%, increased defence spending and cut NHS waiting times?

Should we sack Starmer because he is boring and he has only cut inflation, reduced immigration by 70%, increased removals, kept us out of the Iran war, fought neck to neck with Trump, increased defence spending, will reverse the Boris wave, and has cut NHS waiting times?

Why do far right nationalists hate Farage?

Im not a reformer or a Farage fan, in fact i hate both reform and Farage.

These days i have been scrolling X and i have meet few people like Rupert Lowe, Ben Habib, Ofc Tommy Robinson and few X accounts like Basil the Great and save Europe with millions of views and all of them have one thing in common thats that they all hate Farage. Fun fact all of them were kicked out of Reform UK.

They all have one more thing in common: They all suck Elon Musk. Elon pays Tommy’s legal fees, and pays significant amounts to Rupert’s party and pushes massively all of them above in X algorithms because all of them do pathetic numbers on other Social media platforms.

Elon musk was a Farage fan boy until he fell off with trump, but here is what happened with Farage. Elon spent a record $250 million to get Trump elected and when Trump was elected he expected EV subsidies for Americans and the EV mandate to be given to Tesla but Trump refused which lead both of them to fall off and Elon publicly stated that trump was on Epstein files and Trump tried to deport him. Elon had a meeting with Farage on January 2025, where Musk promised to help Farage win the election but in exchange he wants the EV mandate for Tesla which Farage refused because he wants to scrap Net zero which pissed of Musk and he publicly went against Farage.

Here comes Rupert in the story: He is kicked out of Reform for Bullying and Abusing Reform staff, and he creates his own party and he does make a deal with Elon because he also has interests in Net zero because his business will directly benefit with Net zero, and fun fact one of his business partners is Rishi Sunak’s wife. They all playing the false game of English Nationalism but the reality is Rupert’s is in the game for himself and he is sold out to Musk. Tommy, Ben Habib and their Advance Party was also funded by Musk so his network allowed All of the rest to get together, and btw Tommys marches are funded by musk.

And Farage is a sell out of big oil corporations like BP and Shell, he is no different than all of them. The difference is he stands for scrapping net zero and is realistic when it comes to deportations and hatred of immigrants the other’s play characters

People need to wake up and realise that all of the far right nationalists are sold out players who are in the game after themselves and their own pockets.

AITAH for hating the Boris wave?

Im a brown British born and raised here and i have realised that after 2024 Reform UK and nationalism has been raising and one of the reason was the incompetence of the tories during their 14 year rule. One of the reasons for tories to fall of and the birth of reform was the boris wave because during 2021-24 4.6 million low skilled non EU migrants were imported in the country. Take away and retail workers were imported on 20K a year jobs while care workers were imported on 25K a year.

Massive mass migration lead the job market to be saturated, and even getting a part time job is nearly impossible because the dependents of the Boris wave would do that job without any work rights and without complaining which makes business hire them instead of locals. House prices also went through the roof because its basic supply and demand. Public services also got saturated and became slow and low quality. Once these migrants get permanent settlement they will claim benefits because their low wages allow them to qualify for housing benefits and child benefits. This year alone more than 500K will receive ILR (Permanent settlement) and by 2029 2.6 million more will get it.

The boris wave started a cannon effect that made everyone tired of foreigners and migrants. The people i grew up with i have seen them become reform voters in front of my eyes because they can’t get a job or are tired of expensive housing and they blame all on foreigners. GB news also blames everything on foreigners but they fail to communicate with their viewers thats its the Boris wave not those who are been living here from generations.

My dad works in a restaurant and his restaurant employed many Boris wave migrants who work without complaining and they are basically yes people so my dad and his colleagues are getting less hours because the business would rather have yes people rather than those who want work rights and breaks. Before 2024 there was racism sure but it wasn’t that big and it was made big because of the Boris wave because it’s common sense that mass migration is bad for locals.

I don’t hate the Boris wave migrants but i hate those who made it happen and once ILR figures are announced next year, nationalism and reform will only get more popular.

Because of the Boris wave us local brown brits are looked down and we are the most impacted so is it justified for me to oppose the Boris wave?

What happened to YOUR PARTY?

Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana launched the party almost a year ago and they managed to convince Gaza MPs to join but they left as soon as they saw trans leading the party 😂 that was the last thing i heard from them

What happened to the party now? Are they still active or did they go extinct?

Gaza MPs are : Shockat Adam (Leicester south), Ayoub Khan (Birmingham), Adnan Hussain (Blackburn) and Iqabal Mohammed (Dewsbury and Batley)

These MPs are called Gaza MPs because their manifesto was to bring peace in Gaza and they targeted muslim majority constituencies.

Zara sultana also stated that the party was a toxic boys group

Do you guys believe ILR reforms will go ahead?

I genuinely don’t believe any changes will happen because Starmer has lost interest on them because no matter what they do the media and the average brit will consider them a migrant loving party and a party that has allowed mass migration and will continue to allow mass migration even though the reality is different.

The only minister’s interest in these reforms were Shahbana and Mike Tapp but they both lost interest and are calling on Starmer to resign and if he does he will be replaced by a left leaning PM who won’t do any reforms of the ILR.

The only bad news is that Reform will win a majority because when ILR numbers get published in the coming years both Labour and the Tories will be punished in the ballot and Reform and further right leaning parties will come in power. If this happens ILR will be scrapped so my advice is to get a citizenship as soon as possible

Why everyone is forgetting how bad the conservatives managed Britain?

Im honestly sick and tired of everyone blaming Starmer for everything wrong in this country when the tories had 14 years and in those 14 years they brought this country on its knees and imported 4.6 million low skilled migrants in 3 years

So can anyone explain me why does Starmer and the Labour party get ratioded while the conservatives are rising on national polls and their socials are doing well? Why is that a man and a party that stands for the common man get so much hate while the tories who worked for the rich get forgotten for everything they did to this country
