The Myth of a Straight Starmer v Farage Choice Exposed
Two significant election results, in Caerphilly and for the position of Deputy Leader of Labour, have exposed the pressure on both Starmer and Farage.
The Caerphilly by-election has shattered a consensus shared across the British political and media establishment. Since the general election last year, the narrative has been that the Labour Party is the only force that can stand against a coming Reform UK juggernaut.
Nigel Farage’s camp pushes this narrative because they want everyone looking for a protest against the establishment to vote for his far-right challenge, while Keir Starmer’s camp pushes it because they want everyone opposed to the far right to vote for him as the champion of the establishment.
- The Labour Party is seen as the only force against Reform UK.
- Nigel Farage's camp promotes this narrative for protest votes.
- Keir Starmer's camp promotes it to oppose the far right.
Author's summary: Election results expose pressure on Starmer and Farage.
