This is the audio from a video interview we just published on our YouTube channel, with historian and broadcaster David Starkey. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked What does Keir Starmer actually want? The UK’s new Labour prime minister is usually described as moderate, pragmatic and non-ideological. Here, historian and broadcaster David Starkey argues that this is an illusion. Starmer, Starkey explains, is a fierce anti-democrat. He wants to transfer power from the UK’s elected parliament to unelected bodies, from the courts to the civil service to the quangos. His party will establish the supremacy of the ‘Blob’, all while cracking down hard on free speech. Our democracy and liberty are in peril. Learn more about your ad choices.
