Election 2024

[Number 1 Jasper]

Tony Benn used to say politics should be about principles not personalities. It isn't though.

He was spot on .

I know a programme that says it’s run like that .
Very often it isn’t .

 

[FosseFilberto]

... and Trump who infamously wants all policy detail to be condensed into one A4 piece of paper with bullet points.

... preceded by a paragraph on "what's in it for me?" ...

Act like a **** 99% of the time and get treated like a **** 99% of the time

That’s the ideal, isn’t it? Reality sometimes comes up short, because people…

So he's gone - inevitable... but I do think his biggest failing was a lack of charisma - actually achieved more in his relatively short term in office than any PM in the last 20 years IMHO ...(and I didn't vote him in) ...

... biggest concern for me is that Labour aren't just going to call a GE, much to the disappointment and hopes of the roundabout painters - whoever replaces Starmer will be looking to stay in power for the next 3 years or so - and frankly, their most capable politician has just stood down ...

Starmers biggest problem is that he isn't a capable politician - capable technocrat quite possible but his grasp of "politics" is really poor

Then we are completely ****ed but that applies to all the other parties too, not one i would have any confidence taking this country forward.

Before Labour won in 2024 every **** was complaining about too many GEs, now everyone wants one.

Public hasn't got a clue what it wants tbh, as apparent by the polling, not a single party in the country is even remotely popular.

 

[brb]

Yep, a PM stepping down should be an election. Simple as for me.

Really.

Really.

I reckon there'll be one in half a year

I hope so. I didn't elect Burnham.

Yeah but who gives a **** about you?

 

[Welshie]

I didn't expect Starmer to ****ing cry like, makes us all seem a bit harsh

Said it here :

Feeble flabby pink Fabian man.

Errand boy sent by global grocery clerks
to attempt to collect a bill from the UK.


And he apparently ends by doing a Byron Hadley.

Wes Streeting who resigned, primarily, to cause leadership contest that he specifically stated was vital to choosing the Labour leader...

Has announced he will not be standing in the contest and fully endorsed Burnham.

Has announced he will not be standing in the contest and fully endorsed Burnham.

... because the reality has set in for him that he's about as popular with the rank and file as a turd at a pool party ...

So he'll be expecting Burnham to reward him with a reach-around for lubing his pathway ...

The media are getting worse, they have a copter flying above the Avanti train Andy Burnham is on, heading to London.
