British politics is getting madder by the day. And it will only get worse when the PM bows to the inevitably and quits. Power brings pressure, but Starmer was supposed to handle it with clear thinking and sensible policymaking. Instead, he can’t take a decision to save his life and hasn’t got a policy idea in his head. Sir Keir was meant to end cronyism and sleaze, butthe Peter Mandelson scandal shows he’s just as crooked as the rest. The man has no honour, either. When things get tough, he’ll throw his staff and officials under a bus to save himself.

Starmer’s not outright mad, but he is deluded. He still thinks he’s the right man for the job, which puts him in a minority of one. When he falls, which could be as soon as next month, the floodgates will open. We face a deluge of derangement as the nutters lurking on the political fringes are unleashed. Some will say we’re already there. Energy secretary Ed Miliband is routinely branded mad, zealous and worse. Watch one of his finger-jabbing, arm-waving, eye-rolling performances, and you’ll see why.

I’m all for more wind and solar. But accelerating net zero to 2030 was always madness. We’ll blow a fortune on sketchy schemes like carbon capture, while paying wind farms billions not to produce electricity. It’s also madness to block our own North Sea oil and gas, only to import it at greater cost and with higher emissions. Despite that, Miliband looks half sane compared to some of the crazies circling power.

Starmer’s huge majority has backfired horribly. His landslide has flooded Westminster with posturing left-wing MPs who wouldn’t recognise economic reality if it boffed them on the nose.

All they want is to tax more, spend more and borrow more. Then spend even more. Except on defence, of course. War is bad, you know. They learned that at the student union. But the real madness lies beyond Labour.

If you want to see where today’s political lunacy is taking us, just look at Zack Polanski’s Green Party. It’s filling up with swivel-eyed Corbynite diehards, pushed even further to the brink of obsession by events in Gaza.

Polanski’s madcap plans include quitting NATO, legalising Class A drugs, scrapping female safe spaces and handing migrants free cash worth £19billion a year. Naturally, Mad Zack also wants to borrow billions more, even though it’ll trigger a full-blown bond market meltdown.

In a sign of how unhinged things now are, this trans-friendly, drugs-happy gaggle of pink-headed ravers has struck an unholy alliance with hardcore Islamists, who have a very different world view.

Incredibly, disgruntled Labour voters are drifting to the gormless Greens in droves, despite demented policies that would destroy the UK. Whoever replaces Starmer will be pushed to ape Polanski’s nonsense. That means more tax, more spending, more immigration. It’s not just the left. Nigel Farage is battling to keep his own fruitcakes under control. Madness has gripped the nation. And it’s only going to get worse.
