It's hard not to conclude that our PM and this government are blind, deaf and deluded. Not to mention deranged. Because after the most catastrophic local elections defeat ever, there's Keir Starmer shouting: "I'm not going to walk away" - when this kind of dementedness warrants the men in white coats taking him away! There's Defence Minister John Healey, who I thought was one of the sane ones, insisting that: "Starmer can channel Tony Blair and win the next election."

Despite Labour's wholesale slaughter at the polls, tin-eared hard-Left MPs are now screaming for an even softer approach to immigration when it's the current super-soft one that's caused hundreds of thousands of voters to defect to Reform. We've got Starmer and his thick-as-mince cabinet still frantically pushing for a Brexit reset when he has no democratic mandate for it and stupidly believes it'll magically resurrect him - when it's guaranteed to push even more people into Farage's arms.

Labour says it will now push for the youth vote even though most of the country's young people have defected to Reform or 'Boob Whisperer' Zack Polanski. And still, more than a million of them languish on benefits suffering from anxiety and stress.

We have a government dithering about how much cash it will (or won't) inject into our ravaged military which, through no fault of its own, is now incapable of defending Britain. But still this government is hell-bent on hounding and prosecuting brave veterans who fought for and were willing to die for this country.

We have ministers denouncing rocketing antisemitism - which their inaction allowed to fester - yet they do little about it because they know siding with Jews will cost them votes and, anyway, many of them secretly (some not so secretly) side with the antisemites.

All of the above are why the British people have deserted Labour in droves. Lifelong Labour voters have walked away from the party - probably forever. And they're not just angry. Many are beyond devastated, broken even, that the party their parents and grandparents voted for, the party they have given lifelong allegiance to, has kicked them in the guts, betrayed them, even actively worked against them.

And their politically stateless void has been filled by Reform. Because whatever you think about Reform, it HAS tapped into the zeitgeist. It knows what British people want because it listened. It knows we want the boats stopped; that we want British people to get priority over idle, illegal migrants who come here demanding free houses and benefits (nearly 1.5 million migrants received Universal Credit last year).

We want foreign criminals deported with no comeback. We want a sledgehammer taken to the obscene benefits budget and to make work pay. We want our pubs and our small businesses (which form the heart of our communities) to survive. And we want to stop the Islamification of this country and the special treatment being given to a misogynistic religion that calls itself peaceful, but which we have seen is very often not.

Starmer and Labour have done nothing about any of that. They don't even believe it needs to be done. But Farage does. Even Kemi does. But we have a deluded fantasist in charge and even if he is replaced by the vulgarian "I love a drink" Angela Rayner, or the dullard Burnham, it won't change anything because this Labour Party is rotten to its core.

Farage called Reform's victory "a historic shift in British politics". But it's more than that. It's the start of a revolution where decent people made their voices heard and rejected an entire political class that tried to force its detestable values upon them.
