ER Editor: This sounds like a controlled implosion of the Starmer government, part 35, as Labour MP for Canterbury, Rosie Duffield quits the party issuing a devastating public letter.
And there is more controlled demolition going on of Starmer with the following stories. A reminder that Starmer was one of the worst establishment enablers by deliberately not going after industrial-scale pedophile, Jimmy Savile, in his position as head of the Crown Prosecution Services. Starmer was also Director of Public Prosecutions. (The Savile stuff is a minimum. What else has Starmer done?) Savile died without any accounting for his crimes, protecting naturally the gargantuan network of pedophiles within British society. Starmer may have already been picked up some time ago under Trump’s EO 13818. People suffered 14 years under the UK Conservatives; now they’re being made to see how bad Labour is in just – 14 weeks? Less than that. Surely the aim is to make people see that normal governance cannot work.
Nobody governs like this, nobody of professional calibre and long experience scores as many own goals in a stunningly short amount of time.

Elon Musk’s brand is still being used for public spats with Starmer, with Starmer coming off worse —
Starmer’s Snub of Elon Musk Shows Labour’s Britain Isn’t “Open for Business”
The spat is over the International Investment summit, scheduled to start on October 14th. The Government hopes it will provide a boost for investment in the U.K. two weeks before the Autumn budget. The event is being hosted by Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, and Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, with the avowed aim of showing that the U.K. is “open for business”. Leaving Musk out of the conversation might be considered a touch eccentric, if not downright stupid. Whichever way you look at it, closing the door to one of the world’s richest and most prominent entrepreneurs is certainly an odd way of signalling openness to investment.
And one of Labour’s flagship election policies is going to backfire on them because they don’t understand the motivations of wealthy ‘non-doms’ who can live anywhere in the world.
Labour Tax Rise Set to Lose Money as Millionaires Flee Britain
Its non-dom policy may appear a small tweak, but it’s turning into a catastrophe for the British economy – and one that will leave us all worse off.
It would be hard to think of a more spectacular own-goal, so early into the life of a new Government. A clampdown on non-doms was a centrepiece of Labour’s campaign for power, with every shadow minister promising an endless series of freebies that would be seemingly paid for with extra taxes on U.K. residents whose permanent homes are overseas. …
And yet, according to reports this week, officials are already warning that it will not work out as planned. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) originally forecast that scrapping the tax break for wealthy foreigners could raise about £3.2bn a year, although the fiscal watchdog also warned that figure was “highly uncertain”.
It now appears likely that the OBR will update its predictions to say that the clampdown might actually cost £1bn or more in lost revenues.
Well, gosh. That’s a surprise. It turns out that wealthy Indians, Chinese or Americans don’t actually want to pay higher taxes in the U.K. We have plenty of anecdotal evidence from accountants and lawyers that they are already moving elsewhere. After all, by definition these are some of the most mobile people in the world.
Starmer has also been ‘on the take’ from one Labour peer, Lord Alli. Here is The Independent on perhaps Starmer’s biggest own goal (and The Guardian)–

Labour MP Rosie Duffield Quits Over ‘Freebies’ Scandal and Keir Starmer’s “Cruel Policies”
Labour MP Rosie Duffield has quit the party over the freebies scandal, accusing Keir Starmer of presiding over “sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice” that is “off the scale”. The Telegraph has more.
Resigning her position, Rosie Duffield, the MP for Canterbury, told Sir Keir that she was “ashamed” of what he and his “inner circle” had done to “tarnish and humiliate our once proud party”.
She declared that he was unfit for office after “inexplicably” choosing to accept designer suits while at the same time pursuing “cruel and unnecessary” policies.
The dramatic resignation sent Downing Street into turmoil on Saturday night and came as Sir Keir faced mounting pressure from within his own party to get a grip on the donations crisis.
In her resignation letter to the Prime Minister, Ms. Duffield said: “Someone with far above average wealth choosing to keep the Conservatives’ two-child limit to benefit payments which entrenches children in poverty, while inexplicably accepting expensive personal gifts of designer suits and glasses costing more than most of these people can grasp – this is entirely undeserving of holding the title of Labour Prime Minister.
“Forcing a vote [on the winter fuel payment] to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for – why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”
Ms. Duffield, 53, has been a consistent critic of the party over its approach to transgender issues and has not attended previous party conferences over the issue.
She has become the fastest MP to jump ship after a general election in modern political history.
It came after Sir Keir admitted on Friday that Lord Alli gave him £32,000 to pay for clothing, double what he previously declared.
Sir Keir also received £2,400 from Lord Alli for glasses, and the use of an £18 million penthouse during the election campaign and on other occasions. Members of his frontbench team have also declared large donations from the peer.
On Saturday night, a frontbench source warned that Downing Street needed to change course, saying “it is getting to the point where it might be terminal”.
“If you are constantly explaining, you are losing. It looks like you are doing something dodgy,” they told the Telegraph. “Keir needs to be absolutely straight and he needs to draw a line under it.”

‘There are many others who feel like me’
Stop Press: Daily Sceptic reader Roger Tilbury has composed a special meme for Free Gear Keir:
Ooh suits you Sir.
Ooh, suits you sir SIR!
Ooh does sir sir like it?
A freebie sir?
We like a freebie sir, especially down behind Waterloo.
The glasses – suits you sir.
Do you like them sir? The specs?
And the motes? Can you see the beams sir?
And the football sir?
Do you like it too?
Going up the Arsenal sir?
And the QPR an’ all sir?
And a Penthouse sir? Do you like it?
A nice spread with a huge balcony. Oooh.
Suits you sir.
Does she like it sir?
Your lady sir?
Or is she a sir lady?
Is she a Swiftie sir?
Or a Quickie?
Do you like a Quickie sir?
Down behind Waterloo?
Do you like to free the sausages?
Do you sir? Do you?
Or do you like to be in control?
When you get into a state?
Ooh, suits you sir.Source

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
