First, Blair has Starmer surrounded with his cronies at every level. Not only Mandelson, but also Wes Streeting in at Health, John Healey (an actual Fabian) in at Defence, Pat McFadden (a Blair hatchet man) generally just lurking about and Jonathan Powell as National Security Advisor. Furthermore, Blair has been holding ‘secret meetings’ with MPs in the Labour party looking to tap up new talent, as well as notably sidling up to the Deputy PM, Angela Rayner at some Christmas event. I have said that Rayner is the only current front-bench MP with charisma and a common touch, and that, even if it sounds insane now, I would not put it past the system to cycle her in at some point if Starmer alienates too many people. For some reason, I have an idea that Rayner’s human touch will do well with Trump and Vance – there are hilarious scenes waiting to happen there, mark my words. But Blair taking time out of his busy schedule and lowering himself to sit with Rayner, someone of whom he had not previously been fond, is a signal that he might have taken out some insurance.

Second, since his disastrous start, Starmer seems to have come to heel. The objections to Blair’s advice and the attempts to ‘forge his own path’ have disappeared and now his government is carrying out Blair’s plan to the letter even down to seemingly insignificant details. For example, back in January, Blair mentioned during an interview that the British public need to stop self-diagnosing on mental health issues. I happen to agree with that, but this is irrelevant: what matters is that, as of a couple of days ago, this became official government policy after Wes Streeting repeated the words of The Master almost verbatim. Similarly, after initially being rejected by the upstart Gray-led government, now Blair’s AI plan is being enacted to the letter. That is not all, however, Tone’s plan for the NHS also appears to be going ahead as Starmer has just axed NHS England and is gearing up for a radical reconstruction along the lines Blair has advocated for years. Digital ID is happening, whether or not anyone agrees with it, official policy since 1^st November 2024. The brutal cuts to welfare and foreign aid announced this past week, which have sent shockwaves across the left, and are more substantial than anything the Tories would ever dare to do, are following the blueprint the Tony Blair Institute outlined in a document last September called ‘Reimagining Government in the 21^st Century’. As I’ve pointed out a number of times, there is absolutely nothing in these plans with which someone like Elon Musk disagrees, because the vision is that of Musk’s fellow Silicon Valley billionaire, Larry Ellison, Blair’s chief financial backer. You can watch Blair and Ellison together in this impossibly evil-looking event last month. Many people have spotted that Starmer is essentially doing the same thing for the British state that the much hyped DOGE under Musk is doing in America, Morgoth even dubbed it ‘DOGE UK’. This Anglo-American harmony is not an accident, you must try to ignore the window dressing those wedded to party politics want to put around it. All this stuff is happening, ostensibly, to make the state more agile and more efficient, and to integrate the ‘private’ and ‘public’ more tightly in those ‘private-public’ partnerships so favoured by WEF types. There is absolutely no divergence between Trump and Starmer on this. We can watch both meeting with Larry Fink, setting up deals for Blackrock, and generally carrying out an identical agenda. Free your mind: cast off the slop and ideological justifications for it all. See things as they really are! These things would be happening no matter who was in office, because power needs them to happen.

Third, Starmer was dogged for months by scandals involving gifts, Lord Alli, rumours and innuendos about his private life, and so on. Since Blair has been back in the saddle, all that has mysteriously disappeared. Presumably, it can all come back should Starmer start getting his own silly ideas again. It seems unlikely now, though, as Starmer is locked into playing Churchill in the Ukraine saga, even down to using old Blair-era slogans such as ‘The Coalition of the Willing.’ These people love their symbolism.

Fourth, Blair has become much more vocal and aggressive in isolating those who remain in the Starmer’s cabinet who are not fully loyal to his vision. The two people he has earmarked for destruction are Ed Miliband, the Secretary for Energy and Climate Change, and ‘Rachel from Accounts’, also known as Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor. Miliband has not been forgiven by the Blairites for his abject stupidity in allowing ‘democracy’ to have a voice and temporarily ceding control of the Labour party to Momentum and the Militant Tendency during the Corbyn era. Miliband must be punished for this. In addition, Blair has voiced strongly that current Net Zero plans for Britain are pointless when China’s carbon emissions make ours completely insignificant. The Tony Blair Institute has called Miliband’s Net Zero plans a ‘mistake’, ‘moronic’, ‘false’, and ‘wrong’ with those old sandwich pictures back on the front page of The Sun. These things do not happen by accident, when the Dark Lord is gunning for you, your days are numbered. Bye Ed, enjoy your bacon sandwiches on the back benches. Reeves, meanwhile, is constantly being scapegoated as the person responsible for Britain weak economic performance in a re-run of Blair’s constant attacks on Gordon Brown when he was the Prime Minister himself. It is obvious Blair wants Reeves gone, and he has already lined up the replacement, Pat Mcfadden. It is less certain this will happen, but should Miliband or Reeves go in any reshuffle, these will be sure signs Blair is tightening his grip. These are the last hold outs of the Labour left. So be it. They must be destroyed.
