It hasn’t even been six months since Labour stormed into Downing Street, but their shiny promises are crumbling faster than a bargain gadget from Temu. If Sir Keir Starmer’s crew had come clean in July, would voters have handed them the keys to No10? Unlikely.

Remember Labour’s promise to cut energy bills? Well, millions of households are now opening their bills only to see numbers higher than ever before. With the cost-of-living crisis and the rising cost in energy being a large motivating factor in people being desperate for change, it is likely that their promises to lower bills attracted many voters, only for the price cap to be raised another 10% within months of them taking power.

Additionally, if Labour had told the voters in the 114 rural communities they now represent about their intentions to wage a war on British family farming and the countryside by reforming the inheritance tax rules that will prevent many family farmers being able to pass on their farms to the next generation due to the ridiculously high tax, I have a feeling that they wouldn’t have won many of them.

When Tony Blair waged a war on farmers, Labour went from representing 100 rural constituencies to just 17, taking 14 years to win them back. Labour’s huge majority rests on gaining a significant number of rural seats, seats like where I live in North West Cambridgeshire where they won by just 39 votes, a win they would not have got, if they had told the truth about what they wanted to do to our farmers.

Labour’s betrayal isn’t stopping there. The pensioners they promised to protect? 10million are losing their winter fuel allowance, a vital lifeline during soaring energy costs. They didn’t whisper a word about this during the election but dropped the bombshell just days after winning. And remember their pledge to not rise National Insurance?

Labour’s latest budget hiked employers’ national insurance contributions, hammering small businesses and young jobseekers. Already, companies are scaling back on hiring and slashing jobs. Some “party of business,” huh?

Labour promised to be tough on immigration and “smash the gangs”, but just this week it was reported that the Dragonfly Hotel in my constituency has just taken in 146 single male migrants, despite the fact that Peterborough already hosts the highest number of migrants In the whole of the East of England

Oh, and let’s not forget Labour’s plan to release prisoners and hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius — on the taxpayer’s dime! These were conveniently left out of their manifesto too. Would seats like

Hendon or Poole, both of which were won by a margin of less than 20 votes have fallen to Labour if voters knew the truth? Doubtful.

Labour’s massive majority wasn’t earned; it was swindled. Their campaign was built on hollow promises, deceptive soundbites, and outright lies. As voters see the cracks, Labour is already taking a beating in by-elections, haemorrhaging seats across the country.

Mark my words: this will be a one-term Labour Government. But it’s outrageous that in places like mine, we’re stuck with MPs who rode in on a wave of deceit. Democracy? More like daylight robbery.
