We have 5 year terms in the UK for a reason. Any incoming administration needs that time to make the changes that are needed AND SEE THEM COME INTO EFFECT. Those who expect instant results are ridiculous mewling infants frankly. That has never been more true than it is now

Starmer is the real deal. People have suffered through 14 years of the other kind, and can't recognise it when they see it, apparently. Sigh.........

Perhaps I’m old-fashioned but an actual resignation has always struck me as a much more courageous vote of no confidence than a mere call for one…
Hold on, this Anas Sarwar? Surely not.

Last week, we voted to lift 450,000 children out of poverty and selected 500 schools to get free breakfast clubs.
That's the change we should be focused on, that's the change voters want, and it's only possible because Keir Starmer secured a five year mandate.
He must see it through.

When he was a Tory politician (you remember, just after he was binned as a Labour one) female colleagues were free to express their disgust at his blatant misogyny. “Lee is an odious sexist,” was Anna Soubry’s irrefutable conclusion. I wonder what his current colleagues will have to say…
Jeremy Kyle is interviewing Reform MPs at a live press conference
Discussing who might take over from Keir Starmer as PM, Kyle just said: "She's had a makeover, Angela"
Lee Anderson: "She's throwing her money away, isn't she, to be honest with you"
*applause from the audience*

I have said this for decades!!! WALL STREET is the money laundering of rape NOT ONLY OF OUR ECONOMY BUT FUELS THE WEALTHY INTO MORE ATROCITIES!!!!
As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.
Hello???

Those who're charged with critical decisions in life know that they always have the potential to go wrong. That's a given. They can & they do, with the best will in the world. It DOESN'T mean they were bad decisions. It means they sometimes had bad OUTCOMES. It is technically called LIFE. Think.

There is no one to take his place. That's why he became Leader in the first place. He proved that. Who are the media suggesting? Streeting, Rayner, both useless; or maybe another Party all together? They've been on Starmer's back since he swept their beloved Tories into the ditch!

I love you James, but I have frankly never heard so much absolute bollox about Keir Starmer, the ONLY one currently who can turn this country around, potentially one of the best PMs in the history of the UK. Just stop the nonsense and let him get on & fix what needs fixing.

Thought for the day;
Starmer's heart must have sank after seeing the size of the majority in 2024. So much scope for trouble-causing in the ranks, and factional in-fighting. I think he would have been better off with half the majority, or less.

I've written a speech for Keir Starmer ;
'I hear the media want me to resign. I will NOT be resigning because nothing I've done comes close to a resigning matter.
If anyone wants to take my place as Party Leader & PM, then let them come at me. I'll be ready. I AM ready. No questions now. Thank you.
