Andy Burnham will enter Downing Street as probably the most experienced politician of his generation. He has been in front line politics for over 25 years as political advisor, MP, Junior & Cabinet Minister, Shadow Minister & Metro Mayor. Keir Stamer should hand over the keys as soon as possible & let him get on with the job. He has much to prove in the next 3 years, but no one can claim to better prepared for the job of Prime Minister in Britain today
Keir Starmer took Labour from our worst defeat in a century to win a landslide.
As our PM he has served with dedication and humility and transformed our country for the better.
I suspect history will be kind to him. ๐น
Measured and correct. Andy Burnham is the right person to lead Labour now and I hope he will get to do so without an election. Solidarity not psychodrama.
In short, medium and long yes we are. Bearing in mind you think girls can be boys and vice versa, you have no right to speak for British people who know this difference.
Donald Trump has criticised Keir Starmer again over the UKโs refusal to back offensive strikes on Iran saying the โrelationship is obviously not what it wasโ.
But is the UK public with the US president? In short: no.
New @YouGov polling shows that by 49% to 28%, Brits oppose the US strikes on Iran.
50% oppose the US using RAF bases to launch attacks on Iran, so long as the targets were restricted to missile sites, while 32% support the policy.
45% of Brits say govt should neither praise nor condemn US for attacks - 21% want UK to condemn US for its actions, while 12% want it to praise America.

In the next 25 years @Keir_Starmer 's decision to reject Trump's demand we join a war with no clear purpose, for the sake of the Special Relationship, will be seen as historic. This was a decision where Britains values and interests alignedโ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฉ
Trump accuses Starmer of "pandering to Muslim voters"... over Iran: there are 4 million Muslim UK citizens and they have the same right to be heard as the rest of us. But Starmer stood tall for *every* decent British person - balancing the need to defend our bases with determination never to repeat Iraq

What do you want to tell him ??
He is delivering, however it's not what we want. Like you he is just delivering shit to us all. You started to turn the country into a third world more and he is carrying on that work. Between you you could not muster a functioning brain cell.
Keir Starmer was elected with a huge majority and needs to be given the time to deliver, especially given the extremely challenging circumstances he inherited after 14 years of Tory governments.
โWe no longer feel so gung-ho and warlike.โ
James OโBrien thinks Brits no longer have the same appetite for intervention as they did during the Iraq war.
'The principle is the same: peaceful protesters being murdered for dissent.โ
James OโBrien draws parallels between unrest in Iran and the US under Donald Trump.
When will these morons actually realise that Reform are popular because the likes of him and the other main parties have caused the divide and it will be Reform will unite the true British. This shadow orick is incapable of seeing that.
No, but unless your further education resulted in good well paid employment in the field of your studies, I'd say you were foolish to be in that much debt.

What's your response?
Are you suggesting they should not be? They are funded by the commercial world and stand in a void left by the legacy media. They are not funded by the very people that gaslight them. The proof of their value in news is borh out by the viewing figures month on month. So fuck you.
