@SandyofSuffolk So you did that to prove you don’t know how British parliamentary democracy works?
The only people that vote ‘for a PM’ are those who are voting for a leader of a party in their constituency, or those who get to vote for the leaders in their political party.
We vote for MPs.
@danny__kruger What utter drivel.
Farage is the establishment.
He’s a privately educated millionaire, who worked in the finance sector before turning to politics, where he’s been able to earn money whilst never doing his job.
The scrutiny is about about corruption, not his personal finances.
@greeksinartcon1@David90shaw You don’t seem to understand our parliamentary democracy, do you?
Unless you happen to live in the constituency of the PM, you never get to vote for the PM, only your local MP.
This is no different to any other elected PM.
@mikeerwydd1968@Nigel_Farage You spelt racist wrong .
There’s nothing patriotic in supporting Farage, just as there’s nothing patriotic about the lying snake oil salesman.
@StephenDyke_1 I’m not actually team Starmer or a Labour supporter, but Starmer was the best PM of the past couple of decades.
It’s quite scary to see how delusional so many people are, or simply gullible.
@AmericaRecharge This is old news and fake news.
False claims that the couple own shares in Be.EV, that Van Heel will receive bonuses from the firm if their profits increase as a result of the CAZ, and that she has a financial interest in the cameras used to monitor vehicles entering the zone.
@Nigel_Farage Then you should have been following them in the past, but you flouted them at every opportunity.
Just like you:
• lied repeatedly;
• failed to do the job you were elected to do; and
• spewed hate all the time.
You are a cancer spreading disease.
@Valerie98375694 So who will you vote for instead?
I can only assume (dangerous) that it’s The Greens. Anyone else would seem rather ridiculous given your statement.
Obviously, you don’t have to tell us.
A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.
A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.
A truly sad day for British democracy.
His full resignation speech:
The first major wave of online misinformation resulted in Brexit, a decision that the majority of economists regard as the most damaging economic choice Britain has made in modern times, making millions of working families poorer.
Now it appears a second wave may succeed in forcing out a democratically elected Prime Minister who in a short timeframe has a track record of delivering policy designed to help millions of working families. Not a perfect man, but certainly one of the better PMs of the last 30 years or so.
A wave of gross & obvious misinformation, spread and amplified by foreign-owned social media platforms, in a deliberate campaign designed to indoctrinate UK citizens, may have toppled a British Prime Minister.
We are going down a very dark path here.
@SuellaBraverman You should be embarrassed at posting such nonsense.
No one has voted for Burnham to be PM. He hasn’t yet been tested in that way.
Your ignorance of the democratic process in the UK is startling.
But you’ve proved your incompetence and lack of integrity, so it’s unsurprising.
