he Labour party is so haunted by old defeats that it can barely look victory in the eye. Conservatives are more familiar with winning and so quicker to see it coming for the opposition. If you are shopping for conviction that Keir Starmer will make it to Downing Street, visit a Tory. Labour trades in caveat and caution. Even with 20-point leads in opinion polls, opposition confidence is muted. Thursday's byelection in Chester reflects the national trend. No one expected Labour to lose the seat, but the Tories barely even turned up to contest it. Their vote share was the lowest it has been in the city since 1832. The Conservative fall is so much more spectacular than Starmer's rise that observers tend to discount the latter in explaining the former. Not long ago, Boris Johnson bestrode the stage, hogging the limelight, while the Labour leader lurked in the wings muttering lines for an audience that wasn't paying attention. Now Johnson is gone. Liz Truss self-combusted. Rishi Sunak governs a divided, disoriented party. Starmer could probably have slept through October and woken up in the lead. Strokes of luck that big induce fear of fortune swinging back the other way. But it would be unfair to cast the Labour leader as an empty vessel catching votes shed by the Tories. Unloved governments can always be bolstered by reviled oppositions, as Jeremy Corbyn demonstrated. Starmer's ruthless burial of Corbynism was the first sign that he was serious about winning. That he did it having promised continuity with his predecessor's agenda is treated as a betrayal by the left, but the swerve was not premeditated. The repudiation was no less surprising to Labour MPs who had agitated against the Corbyn regime and scorned Starmer's collaboration with it. They heard his pledge of parity among all factions as a flinch from the hard choices required to get out of opposition. Starmer was suspected of soft left sentimentalism – the indulgence of hammer-and-sickle militancy that flows from romantic solidarity with anyone who marches under a red banner. The Labour leader was not kidnapped by Blairites and frog-marched away from that initial position. The direction of travel was dictated by resolve not to lead the party into another defeat. The drive to win goes deeper than any policy preference. "He means to be prime minister," one converted frontbench sceptic told me a few months into his leadership. "And God help you if you get in his way."

Sponsored By Rockstar Energy Learn more That fixity of purpose was hard to discern at first, partly because normal politics was submerged in the pandemic and partly because Starmer was still learning the basics of political craft. He was elected to parliament in 2015, making him much less experienced in Westminster and Labour party machination than most of his shadow cabinet. |
Dear Reader,
Jim Rickards made some spectacular financial predictions in the past…
But the crazy thing is Jim's predictions keep coming true! |
- In 2016, Jim predicted Brexit would pass. He was right.
- That same year, Jim predicted that Donald Trump would win the U.S. Presidential election. Jim was right again!
- And in 2019, Jim didn't just correctly predict a pandemic — he also predicted exactly how the government would respond!
|
Now Jim is issuing an urgent forecast about the replacement of our money system with a "cashless society."
According to Jim, this new cashless system will be "a dagger aimed at our financial throats."
And it's coming faster than you might believe.
In fact, the first steps to a "cashless America" could begin as soon as Dec. 13, 2022.
You need to be ready.

Best wishes,
