An odd and atypical politician
Eliot Wilson has an interesting CAPX piece on the odd aspect of Keir Starmer’s announcement about renationalising British Steel.
Starmer can barely save his career, let alone the steel industry
- The Prime Minister is attempting to save his skin by completely renationalising British Steel
- Does the Government really believe it can run a successful steel business where the private sector has failed?
- Labour’s steel strategy is to deploy public expenditure to give the impression they are being productive
The whole piece is well worth reading, both as another story about Labour incompetence and a further reminder of how strange Keir Starmer is beyond the incompetence.
The government has no plan for a competitive steel industry, nor even a rational assessment of whether one is achievable under any circumstances. Instead Starmer is driven by the politician’s syllogism which Sir Humphrey Appleby and Sir Arnold Robinson discuss with dismay in ‘Yes, Prime Minister’:
- We must do something.
- This is something.
- Therefore we must do this.
What will change? What will the Government do differently next year that it has not done this year? How will global circumstances change and how will they be managed? What does a future British steel industry look like? Ministers have no idea, of course, because they have avoided asking the questions. Instead they will deploy public expenditure to make everyone feel like they are being productive.
Maybe British Steel can respond by feeling like it is a successful and profitable enterprise. It is hard to see what more we can expect.
