Скачать или смотреть 2029 General Election Axed? From Blair to Starmer: Why Conspiracy Theories Won’t Go Away

If the rumours are true, Torsten Bell is being lined up as the next Chancellor — but should we be worried? He’s never done a day in business, and when I saw him debate VAT on education in the House of Lords, even my 13-year-old daughter noticed: “Mummy, he just said he doesn’t care about my education.”
VAT on education has already been a disastrous policy — it hasn’t raised the money promised, and it’s put even more pressure on state schools. Yet Bell backed it like it was a masterstroke.
Now, add in his links to Labour’s economic plans, Blair’s Civil Contingencies Act of 2004, and fears of civil unrest — are we heading into dangerous territory if he takes the Treasury?
Let’s debate it properly. Is this just social media noise, or do we need to be concerned?
