Essay by Eric Worrall h/t MrGrimNasty – “Keir Starmer just backed making you poorer – while rest of world laughed at him” Keir Starmer just backed making you poorer – while rest of world laughed at him Is it any wonder our enemies on the world stage think Britain is a joke? By Esther McVey 18:00, Mon, Nov 10, 2025 Keir Starmer jumped on a jet last week and headed to Brazil. A 12,000-mile round trip to a climate summit where he re-committed the UK to Carbon reduction targets that will further impoverish people in the UK – without making a blind bit of difference to global temperatures – and either collapse or relocate abroad our once world-leading manufacturing industries. … Starmer’s obsession with net zero is putting a giant, self-inflicted nail in the coffin of UK PLC. … … I had a meeting last week with the UK’s chemical industry leaders where they explained to me how a combination of high energy prices, environmental regulation and carbon prices were killing the sector and, worse still, destroying critical supply chains and making us dependent on China for chemicals for even the most basic of things like purifying our water. … How ironic that Labour used to be the party that championed heavy industry and the working-class, whereas now it’s consigning those workers to the dole queue. … Read more: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2132117/keir-starmer-make-you-poorer You might wonder at the complacency of labor unions in the face of job losses and industry shutdowns, but I received some insight into this paradox from a speech by far left British politician George Galloway, who explained why unions were so open to climate alarmism – from memory his words were “Corporations have stuffed up everything else, so why not the environment and the planet as well?”.
