RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Starmer spent four years trying to overturn the Brexit vote. So will he agree to another election now more than 2 MILLION Britons (and rising) have signed a petition demanding one?

More than 2 million people and counting have signed an online petition calling for an immediate General Election. The petition on the Government website rightly accuses Labour of breaking promises made in the run-up to the last election in July. Rachel Reeves is behind the fuel allowance removal and Ed Miliband wants to be Net Zero supremo You certainly don't have to go far out of your way to encounter widespread buyer's remorse, even among many of those who voted Labour. Discontent is everywhere, most visibly among farmers who marched on Westminster last week to protest about the vindictive imposition of inheritance tax on family farms A tractor passes through Parliament Square as thousands of farmers stage a protest against inheritance tax in Westminster The petition, started by a West Midlands publican, has already passed the threshold at which it can be considered for debate in Parliament According to the latest opinion polling, 70 per cent of people now think things have actually got worse under Labour. Barely a week went by without Starmer complaining that the country had voted Leave on a false prospectus and demanding a second 'People's Vote'.
