Can someone please explain to me how someone who wasn’t even a member of parliament last week, is now being seriously mentioned to be in the new prime minister here in UK?
How?
Who is he?
Where’s he come from?
Starmer was hated. Says far more about the electorate than the man. Impossible to govern when people want welfare, triple lock, tax loopholes, NIMBYist vetoes, while also hating the low growth, high debt economy this entails. Starmer was a good man leading an ungovernable country
So I guess @MazoeFord that the untold billions Starmer sent to 🇺🇦 whilst the 🇬🇧 economy stagnates & his support to 🇮🇱 genocide played no role in his downfall?

I’m a bit out of the loop with the news. What exactly has Starmer done that he has to resign? It can’t just be because some people don’t like him because that’s true of every prime minister ever.
@yanisvaroufakis The British establishment has their number one scalp. Next up Andy Burnham.
Then they can claim Labour is no better than Reform UK and Tories.
Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.
Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.
Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.
On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.
And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.
But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.
History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

@yahootriple9@saur033@DJ1P2@TMFOtter I'm not British.
We have hilbillies, they have rednecks... You don't even know your enemies apart lol not looking good for you dogs
I’ve been to Australia many times and it was only recently I’ve learned that there is a substantial subset of Australians who deeply dislike Americans.
I find that really strange. Generally Americans either love Australians or have no opinion of them. I’m in the first set.
@yahootriple9@RealTimVine@loulouyoohoo You're mistaking me for someone who give a flying fuck what some thick Australian cunt thinks about anything, mate.
Serious question.
You live in a country, you loathe its people, it's culture (which is rudely and aggressively suggest it doesn't have) and you're so hateful of that country that you let everyone know whenever you can, why do you stay??
Common sense tells me that if I moved somewhere, hated the people, hated the country, hated the culture, I'd move, not expect them to win me over....
Baffles me, especially the ones who claim to not be on benefits.
@simonwilson2304@RealTimVine@loulouyoohoo Sought fairness while supporting genocide.
Sought an end to privilege and elitism while putting 'Israeli' interests above all else and enabled the oligarchy.
😅😅😅🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅
When you live a life of privilege & wealth & freedom….that women in your country of birth could only dream of.
And you are ungrateful & scornful of your adopted country.
