@RaulManuel@Horatio_Lamb@Interstellar_HG Its Blair because the changes he made to the way the state works is the main reason everyone since has failed. Even Starmer said he pulls the levers of power and nothing happens.
@PolitlcsUK@thetimes I never thought id say this but Torsten Bell is probably his only credible option. It's a really shallow pool of talent despite having 400 MPs.
Keir Starmer's successor, whoever that will be, will fail just like he did.
The United Kingdom is ungovernable at this point because the elected government no longer controls the state apparatus. The unholy blob that Tony Blair constructed runs everything, and they answer to no one. Starmer himself literally said that he pulls a lever and nothing happens. His replacement will find those levers still do nothing.
Without a massive purge of the NGOs, the Quangos, the courts, the civil service, and the administrative state, changing Prime Ministers will do about as much good as swapping out a kid's steering-wheel toy in a car that's hurdling off a cliff.

@EndangeredBrit I see people electing Burnham (there last hope) now and starting a Labour civil war and giving him 3 years to sort it as a positive. Either it gets better (very unlikely) or they've (Labour) burnt their last card.
@LiterateCynic@ArchRose90 In the week leading up to this election Starmer basically announce a terrible thing every day. Even I might have been tempted to vote for Burnham yesterday just to collapse this Government.
@MarkOrmrod Looking beyond musk and seeing how yesterday's IPO has benifited the SpaceX workers I'm suprised anyone is mad. 4400 new millionaies, many more with paid off houses.
@HarleyShah@MandiMixUp I'd love to live in a crime free wonderland. But back in the real world all you can do is remove the dangers that shouldnt be there & punish the criminal element that remains. If the reformers had their way he wouldn't have been here to be killed & the scum that did it would hang
