Labour are about to make a monumental mistake. They have history - Brown coronation, Ed Miliband election (wrong brother), Corbyn madness. But in the context of a big 2024 GE majority, removing a sitting PM would be a crowning disaster.
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
England seemingly will never learn that a top-class wicket keeper is worth way more runs than an extra few runs a better batsman will make you. Ben Foakes should have 80 caps.
@BethRigby Also, the UK electorate largely prefer a government either slightly left or slightly right of centre. Pulling Labour further left will make them unelectable
@BethRigby These new intake Labour MPs seem to not understand what politics should be about. Not personality or protecting your own position but serving the electorate and delivering good and successful policy. Starmers government is doing that although the press refuse to report it
Congratulations to Andy Burnham
The PM says he wants him to have a big role in govt
Despite hype, no-one has challenged for the leadership
To do so would cause the country chaos, so I’m glad @Keir_Starmer has said he’ll run in any contest
I back him 💯- he’s delivering for 🇬🇧
If they get Burnham they will bring him down in months,& then they'll get their General Election.
Bannon & the American Tech Bros need a decent Party out of power & DISGRACED.FINISHED OFF. Then Their Trump/ Farage plan can come to power.Then watch out.
Farage will destroy UK
