Sir Keir Starmer is terrified of Brexit (Image: PA)
If I had to vote again, I’d do it ten times over – with knobs on! It’s five years since we escaped the shackles of the EU and I remember dancing in the streets on January 3, 2020, when it was decreed we were finally free.
Because for me was never about trade – who wouldn’t want free trade among a bunch of close European countries. For me and millions of others, it was about not wanting to be part of an unelected state that knew nothing about Britain or how it works yet believed it had the right to dictate our laws and tell us how we should live.
, for me, was about sovereignty, about who gets to decide what happens to us. I wanted it to be an elected government here – not a bunch of unaccountable, unelected, faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. And I didn’t want to be part of an unelected state that was corrupt and remote from the people it ruled over.
Remember Barnier, Juncker and Co, forever slagging off Britain? Remember how they tried to destroy us when we had the audacity to say we wanted to leave?
Yes, we’re still having to listen to hysterical Remainers here who even five years on can’t accept what was a democratic vote and are forever screaming that was “the biggest ever act of self-harm”.
I’m sorry but have these zealots looked across to Europe recently and seen what’s happening there – immigration out of control, hard-right governments being elected, walls being built to stop immigrants flooding in, economies down the toilet?
Remember during thousands died in EU countries who needn’t have because the bloc couldn’t get its hands on the vaccine? But Boris and the UK on its own did and that rollout saved countless lives. And we couldn’t have made that rollout happen if we’d still been part of the EU.
Now our government is run by Remainer-in-Chief who wants us back in – for no other reason I suspect than he could blame the bloc for things going wrong here.
Britain being an independent country terrifies Starmer because he knows the buck stops with him, and he can’t blame faceless EU bureaucrats when he cocks up, which currently he’s doing on an alarmingly regular basis.
It’s true, we haven’t properly capitalised on the way we should have done, not least because the country was virtually closed down for two years because of . But we DO have scores of new trade deals and new defence partnerships and thousands of EU laws – although nowhere near enough – have been dumped.
But five years on, we’re still lackeys to the ECHR which wont allow us to deport foreign criminals and scammer asylum seekers. We also have a shifty Attorney General, Richard Hermer, who says he’ll never challenge an ECHR ruling.
Leaving the ECHR is vital not just because of national security but because the latest predictions are that FIVE million more people are set to come here before 2032. So if you can’t get a house or a hospital appointment now – you’ll have no chance in five years’ time.
The problems we have now as a country now aren’t down to . They’re down to out-of-control immigration, a useless public sector, the net zero lunacy and nine million people not working. We have lunatic levels of taxation which are stifling growth, tens of thousands of job losses, businesses crumbling thanks to crippling NI taxes, a chancellor who has no clue what she’s doing and a PM whose got jelly where his backbone should be.
None of THAT is down to !
But still it feels good to be out of the EU and not have to kow-tow to Brussels. We just need a government that has the guts to stick two fingers up at the ECHR and make work then we’ll be the independent nation the British people voted for.

Donald Trump has approved Peter Mandelson’s appointment (Image: Getty)
Don’t miss…
Has there ever been anything more delicious than watching the slimy Peter Mandelson serve up his credibility and whatever integrity he’s got to this week in order to nail the plum job as British ambassador in Washington? This obsequious toad took brown nosing to a whole new level and to the point where I actually felt nauseous.
“I think president Trump could become one of the most consequential American presidents I have known in my adult life,” he slavered. “I consider my remarks about him as ill-judged and wrong. I think he has won fresh respect – he certainly has from me.”
Pass the sick bag, Alice!
Let’s not forget it was Mandelson who once said Trump was a danger to the world and “little short of a white nationalist and a racist”. And just what has Mandelson sacrificed his credibility for (anyone who doesn’t believe he still hates Trump is nuts).
It’s to go to live in the big flash ambassador’s mansion in Washington which has just had a multi-million pound refurbishment where he’ll be fawned over, feted and treated like he’s a Somebody.
What the hell was Starmer, the man with no judgement, thinking appointing a slippery, lickspittle like Mandelson who, as we speak, has been referred to the FBI for his links to China – he was an advisor to Chinese investment bank CICC – and who twice had to resign from government here for dodgy dealings.
He’s also been photographed on the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s yacht and on a Russian oligarch’s yacht. This creep is everything Trump hates but most importantly he’ll do nothing to further Britain’s interests in America – only his own!

Ellie Goulding has revealed how her relationship with Zac Goldsmith began (Image: Steve Granitz/FilmMagic)
Singer Ellie Goulding says she started a relationship with Zac Goldsmith after they bonded over a shared interest in climate change.
No wonder that relationship’s now dead in the water. Conversations about melting ice caps, rising sea levels, eco-boilers versus gas, imminent Armageddon and the cost of solar panels? Jeez, you wouldn’t want to go for a drink with either of them!

is being criticised for giving pardons to, and releasing, violent criminals who were jailed after the Jan 6 riots on Capitol Hill in 2021.
Now what kind of government would give early release to sleazeball violent criminals who don’t deserve it? Oh hang on… ours!

So when Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh was reporting on Holocaust Day she referred to “six million people” being exterminated in the Nazi death camps.
Surely the word she was searching for there was “Jews”? It was six million JEWS who were murdered. Does Ms Singh have a problem saying the word Jew? Does she have a problem with Jews generally?
Her glaring omission insulted Jewish people all over Britain so if she did it deliberately she should be sacked. If she did it accidentally – she should be ashamed!

Do you think David Beckham looks good here? (Image: Mert and Marcus/BOSS)
Some might think David Beckham looks sexy here. But all I can see is an obsessive who is addicted to defacing his admittedly beautiful body with inky dark tattoos.

’s Kyle Walker – more famous for his chequered love life than his football – says he’s going to AC Milan for a new challenge. There’s only one question – what’s her name?

A headline this week screamed: “66 Million Year Old Fish Vomit Found in Denmark”.
Makes you wonder why we’re all forking out £169.50 a year for a TV licence.

I realise I’m going to get a slating from the Sisterhood for this but is it right that Strictly’s ’ career is now in the toilet thanks to a lewd comment he made about dancer Janette Manrara? Yes, what he said was awful and crass and stupid, and if I’d heard him say it I’d have told him to shut his mouth.
But because of it, he’s now been dumped from the Strictly tour and his radio show in Wales, and his £1million a year contract with Go Compare is in danger even though he’s profusely apologised
His colleagues from Strictly – Shirley Ballas (who says he the nicest man she’s ever met ) and Katya, his dance partner in the last series – are being totally supportive, even though some female writers would have you believe these strong-minded women are only doing it because there’s a sinister code of silence at Strictly.
Sorry, but anyone who thinks Strictly bosses could make Shirley say anything she didn’t want to say hasn’t met her. Could it just be these women think Evans is a decent bloke and that there’s more to him than that the stupid, offensive comment he made which surely isn’t justification for the end of his career?

The eco zealot Ed Miliband, who’s always been a fervent critic of a third runaway at Heathrow, has gone inexplicably mute this week after Rachel from Accounts gave it the go-ahead.
Surely his principles and his all-consuming (but lunatic) belief in net zero must be more important than his seat at the cabinet table? Or maybe he’s just been told it’ll never happen and to just keep schtum.
