TERMINAL COPIUM
Starmer delivers maximum political scapegoating dressed as economic analysis — blaming Farage, Brexit, and the 'far right' for two decades of stagnation while studiously ignoring AI's structural role in eliminating labour demand. The speech promises industrial renewal via British Steel nationalisation and apprenticeship guarantees as if 1950s industrial policy can reverse algorithmic displacement. No mention of automation, no rentier dynamics, no acknowledgment that the employment circuit itself is terminating — just competent managerialism as the answer to structural economic collapse.
