The Daily Telegraph has lost its mind

Actual headlines from the online front page of the London Daily Telegraph, June 13:

  • Starmer's first year could be his critics' worst nightmare: a success.
  • The people will rise up against Labour's bonkers left-wing agenda.
  • Nigel Farage is the Prince Harry of politics, only with cunning.
  • The most dangerous part of Labour's manifesto is the bit no-one will read.
  • Things can only get smugger as Keir's rock stars take the stage.
  • Britain is heading for a populist tsunami far greater than anything seen in Europe.
  • Labour is about to give middle England a simple choice: emigrate or give up.
  • Keir Starmer is more dangerous than Blair ever was.
  • Keir Starmer will destroy England's countryside. Only the Tories can save the Green Belt. 

I really wish I was making these up, Private Eye style, but these are all real, and there will be a similar crop of hatred and nonsense every day* until election day. This is not borderline insanity -- it goes way beyond that. 

* UPDATE, June 14: Just in case you needed further evidence, today's Telegraph brings us this new gem: "Britain still doesn't have a clue about the scale of the disaster heading its way".
