Not directly, no. But IMO he's a good man gone bad, and bears direct responsibility for the way X has gone. He's a very clever man, knows exactly what he's doing, and although I'm wrong in my specific wording, X has taken a wrong turn under his ownership. I used to go on Twitter until I started getting bombarded with scantily clad AI generated women who wanted to follow me. Getting rid of them just seemed to encourage the algorhythms to throw more of them at my account. By the time I logged out for good there were over 1000 of them following me.
I don’t use X, but from what I gather, it was a cesspit long before Musk took it over. In fact I think he bought it because of the constant left wing lies and propaganda that used to appear on it, including abuse directed at him. When you’re the world’s richest man you can just do that.

Of course he has turned it to his advantage now, as well as making huge amounts of money from it.

The man has certainly got the golden touch.

I think that the resignation of the defence secretary is the final blow for Starmer. Even if Burnham doesn't win Makerfield someone will replace him.

£10 billion over the next 4 years.

That's about £160 per person living in the UK right now.
Or around £700 per tax-payer,
About £175 per year.
A fraction of what my annual car insurance costs.
Less than my annual mobile phone bill.

And lets remember going on past performance about three quarters of it will be wasted on crap that doesn't work.
What a pitiful shambles.
 
Two more resignations tonight, another minister and a private secretary, but unfortunately neither of them is called Starmer.

The man has absolutely no shame nor sense of decency. It is he who should be resigning.

This is more dysfunctional than the end of the Johnson reign. The only difference is that the Labour Party is so lacking in talent that there doesn’t appear to be a single MP out of the 400 who is fit to be PM.

If a party other than Labour or Tory don’t get in at the next GE this country is totally screwed.

How did we come to this ?

I know I've now disowned my Brexiteering past, but I may still have to admit that 40 years in the EU has likely depleted Britain's ability to produce quality political leaders. One of my 'Leave' voting hopes - now long since dashed - was that completely owning our political independence again would give rise to wiser and stronger leadership.
But instead we got Partygate, Lettuce Liz, Rishi 'Rwanda' Sunak and now rudderless Starmer.

Next up?
A Coalition in all likelihood. maybe even three in a bed...
Reform / Tories / Ulster Unionists
or
Labour / Lib Dem / Green
Either way, enough to hammer the last few nails into the British People's trust in our broken old electoral system.

Another resignation over the inadequate defence budget.

Sadly, I do not think it is an over-simplification to say it is now a matter of Welfare or Warfare.
In 2024 people voted for change.
The last thing most people believe they want is more austerity.

But over the last 14 years - even under a Government and Party that used to pride itself on being pro-work and anti-shirk - the number of adults not working and claiming benefits went up and up. Even millions who do work (in low paid jobs) are receiving benefits as well.

The Current Government, a hostage to 300 back benchers, has poured even more money into the welfare system, while at the same time bashing businesses with higher taxes and failing to protect the declining hospitality industry from crippling costs.
Well, that might be called change. But not for the better.

I'm a big fan of Elvis Costello, and Shipbuilding is one of his finest ever protest songs.
But our Nation is facing a coming storm, with a military which has been starved and gutted time and again over 30+ years.
We now have only a handful of ships, submarines, tanks and aircraft. And barely more than a token army.
The Guardsmen in their red uniforms & bearskins who parade in London for tourists have more horses than the rest of the military has armoured vehicles.
 
All Russia has to do to kill this Country is send down a few underwater drones or mini-subs, and cut our undersea cables.
They have them all mapped.
Apparently even one cable cut will cripple us, causing £billions of damage,

Can the Government assure the British People that those cable are secure?
That they are protected, and the Russians would never be able to cut them?
I think we all know the answer to that is no.

Meanwhile the Government has earmarked £4.5 billion for new cycle lanes.
£100 billion to finish HS2, cutting half an hour off the London to Birmingham train journey.
And the benefits budget has increased by £50 billion per year since 2024. That's just the increase.
Five times the amount Starmer intends to invest in Defence for the next four years.
 
But they don't need to launch a land war against us.
Simply cut a dozen data & power cables on the Sea bed.
Result: chaos.
Banking, internet, probably mobile networks too. Crippled if not destroyed.
Everything is organised in an online electronic way now. Including transport & vital distribution.
A week or two later, food riots & martial law.
