Retired in 2018 after 43 yrs in space ind, launching rockets from S.America and designing hardware that now sits on Mars and Comet 67P. STEM amb, Detest Brexit
@Maxine2xs@Nigel_Farage And don't forget he even went to the US and asked them to turn the screws on us and make our lives worse. Not just for his constituents in Clacton but for everybody.
@Conservatives@CCHQPress How come you only now have these plans when you are in opposition after the quite rightly so worst election results, outright thrashing in the last election? The country had to put up with 14yrs of industrial scale political incompetance but now you claim to know all the answers?
@TheRealJamieKay Johnson, 2nd worst PM the UK has ever had. Thatcher carries the mantle for the worst. Every problem the UK currently has, except Brexit, can be laid at her feet. Brexit lies on Johnson's shoulders. Farage should he, God forbid, gain the keys to No.10 would easily outstrip them
@GlamBecks21 Absolutely NOT! His record as an MEP and an MP is second to none a clearly show he is unsuitable for higher office. He only cares about himself and anybody who will bung him a few spare million quit or so.
@SuellaBraverman No he won't.
You will however be only remembered as a waste of space who jumped out of the frying pan into the fire and didn't nothing of any use for the rest of your life except post twaddle on X.
@Mofoman360@reformparty_uk NO! He would quickly overtake Thatcher and Johnson as the worst & 2nd worst PMs the UK has ever had. His record as an MEP & MEP clearly demonstrate that he is unsuitable for higher office.
@sprosay10 Not a hope in hell. His record as an MP and an MEP show that he is entirely unsuitable for any role of responsibility. He would destroy Britain and blame everybody else.
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
@AmericaFirsa But she wasn't, she was the Trabant of UK PMs followed closely by Johnson. Every problem the UK has can be laid squarely at their feet.
Sir Keir was an excellent first class PM.
