Starmer endorses UN’s high-tax manifesto
Labour has paved the way for higher taxes on the wealthy, alcohol and fossil fuels by signing Britain up to a new United Nations pact.
Ministers have endorsed the global agreement, which calls for greater environmental levies and “gender-responsive taxation”.
The UK’s participation represents another break with Donald Trump, who pulled the US out of the deal over concerns about its provisions on tax...
Gareth Davies, the shadow Treasury minister, accused Labour of “outsourcing tax policy to organisations that don’t reflect the priorities of the British people”.
“People want to see their taxes reduced and simplified, not increased and complicated to fund vacuous virtue signalling by global elites,” he said.
Er - yes Gareth - been going on for a long time - Tories, Labour, Lib Dem...
Starmer would endorse it, unlike Trump he's incapable of not endorsing it and no doubt Rishi Sunak would have endorsed it too.
It's useful to look at it that way round, in terms of conditioning. From what we have available to us in the public domain, Starmer's adult life seems to have conditioned him to endorse this kind of legal and bureaucratic expansion by the UN. He won't have analysed it dispassionately because he can't.
Analysing it from the perspective of a UK Prime Minister and the interests of the people he supposedly represents is not something Starmer can do. From one perspective it's because he doesn't want to, from another perspective it's because he can't - but it's the same thing.
Starmer is incapable of being the UK Prime Minister, he's a member of the global nomenklatura, joined the party years ago.

Starmer is a Fabian. The control of 'everything' is what they desire, otherwise how will the day of universal Socialism come to pass?
Is this yet one more example of surrender by Starmer? Perhaps the words of the Labour Party song should be changed to, "We'll keep the white flag flying high.

He is determined to lick the boots* of the world elites because he thinks that elevates him to their ranks.

DJ - yes he is a Fabian. In his world there is no point being a socialist if it isn't to be universal.
Penseivat - he does seem to like the white flag as a political strategy.
Woodsy - but we all know what you mean and Starmer certainly would if he saw it.
