Yes, exactly.

You do in fact understand Starmer. You just hope you're wrong.

The UK's aristos have decided that Farage should be the next PM, which is why he's been all over the media.

Starmer is wholly owned by business interests which exist for the benefit of said aristos, and his job is to pander to those interests. He is absolutely indifferent to what the public wants, and he is willing to force through incredibly unpopular pointless abusive policies to make that point.

The end game is similar to the one in the US - the end of democratic accountability and public service government, an AI-administered online surveillance state run for oligarchs and corporations, all marketed with rhetoric that combines fake patriotism, violent hysteria against outsiders and noncomformists, the illusion of personal responsibility, and religious grift.
