STARMER HAS RESIGNED.

The general public often react badly when a sitting PM resigns; one voted in by a landslide. Burnham seems to getting quite a lot of things right nowadays, findiong a job for Miliband will be a drag on him though. Conservatives are a complete mess atm.

i miss Diane Abbott

he was useless

Burnham is just another script reader, as he showed in 2020 / 21.

So remember guys, as the old saying goes, it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in!

at least Starmer didn't clamp down on gambling with the fervour Burnham and his advisers are going to.

For years the Queen In The North has been demanding bans on gambling advertising and closures of betting shops if a council thinks there are too many for our own good. Burnham's advisers have also been demanding a return to punters paying tax on their bets.

Blow to Reform i would imagine
Probably wanted another 3 years of Starmer bashing to give them a better chance at the next election...Burnham new/fresh approach factor sure to increase Labour votes % initially

That's not good news, Screaming

BTW, are you going to Newton Abbot tomorrow evening? I'm seeing how the decs hold up

wd on thwe ascot comp reg..0/36 takes some doing.

hows olive?

I misread it Rico...thought it was a LAY competition...36/36 for me

I will be at the Abbot, Reg. That midsummer evening meeting is magical. There's a train back to Taunton at 21.25.

Off to the County Ground now. Absolutely crucial day if Somerset are going to win the Championship for the first time ever.

Good riddance to the P****
Quite the legacy
Accepting free suits and glasses and his wife's clothes from millionaire friends after ripping into the Tories for their connections to donors
Appointing a dodgy friend of a pedophile (against security advice) for the highest diplomatic service role
Cutting winter fuel allowance for pensioners and swiftly reversing it
Plan to cut benefits and then swiftly reversing it (there is a trend forming here)
Appointing a tax dodging Deputy Prime Minister
Appointed a Chancellor who didn't have the correct renters paperwork in place
Appointed a housing minister who evicted tenants so she could increase the rent for her properties
Introduced rent reforms that have led to an increasing crises in the number of rented homes available

All that and much more in 1 Year 11 months
He wont be missed!!!

Speech full of his achievements and his parties and Britain's success.  Why u going then ?

Might stay down there if I go tomorrow,  England kick off at 9.00
Met a couple of mates in the bookies earlier who were off to Taunton today, both used to be stewards there, now retired, get in for free or very little
I'm a Kent man, grew up in the heyday of the 70s when you were one of our big rivals

Howard, I thought exactly the same...funny how you can manipulate figures

F  I  L  T  H

He certainly wasn't the best of PMs,but which of the following were better.
Cameron,May,Johnson,Truss,Sunak.
Answers on the head of a pin please.

I dont remember them calling Patriots  Far Right Thugs,, he is Commie FILTH

The people of Makersfield have voted in the next PM

Like the farmer harmer, Burnham is a creation of the legacy media. Like the farmer harmer, it won't take too long to unravel. He has one advantage over two tier, he can formulate sentences without needing to read ones written down by someone else (which appropriately enough, he just needed to do when performing his final u turn).

Jeremy Corbyn has been elected as the new leader of the Labour party after a dramatic and gruelling three-month leadership contest.

Mr Corbyn, the left-wing MP for Islington, won a landslide victory with over 50 per cent of the vote in the first round of voting, knocking out all the other candidates.

His victory was greeted by rapturous applause and cheering from supporters at the Queen Elizabeth conference centre in Westminster, where the result was announced.

The long-time backbencher beat former health secretary Andy Burnham into second place and former home secretary Yvette Cooper into third place. Blairite candidate Liz Kendall came last.

Mr Corbyn gained 59.5 per cent of first preference votes, compared to 19 per cent for Mr Burnham, 17 per cent for Ms Cooper and 4.5 per cent for Ms Kendall.

And now, 11 years later he is going to walk into DS without an election

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Good Riddance! Any PM dressed by a sponsor has no place in local and international politics. I've little doubt Mr Starmer will find something lucrative and more to his cup of tea in the near future. He might even end up in one of the bureaucratic agencies of The EU.

I hope he keeps Ms Mahmood as Home Sec. Ms Mahmood is doing a great job for the genuine and disenchanted local British people.

Farage has called Starmer the most incompetent PM Britain has had.
He must be suffering from memory loss. Even I can remember 2022.

Correct analysis.

The Tory wets themselves fukt Truss over as they couldn't handle not getting their man in.

As far as I know, Truss and her government didn't even pass any legislation. She did have to deal with the passing of the Queen, and a genuine domestic energy crisis, and the unwinding of QE.

Ms Reeves next before she's pushed / sacked? I cannot see her in situ for much longer.

Who was Ms Truss's Chancellor? The bloke must go down as the biggest Chancellor plonker in the history of British politics.

He's been trumped for that title.

He actually said his successor will inherit 'a Britain far stronger and fairer than the one I inherited two years ago'

Former prime ministers should only receive the PM pension and attend the Remembrance Sunday commemorations, Only if they've won a majority and served a full term in office.

That leaves after thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair. The rest are asterisk prime ministers

even the king of the north can't get his train to run on time

Shame as we've lost a very charismatic leader today.
Be hard to replace.

It'll be like replacing a migraine with a headache....watch them all suck up to Burnham now in the hope for a reshuffle with every clown vying for a top job. Cretins from top to bottom.

And that's just the BBC

It's like swapping captains on the Titanic.

wd reg 😆

censor clearly a labour supporter given the harmlessness of posts being deleted

fishface getting off light also

Starmer has the charisma of wood. But, I'm sure he'll do well in the near future. The PM job is just beyond him.

Do well at what? He's freakin useless.

He headed the CPS. He was pretty good on international affairs. He'd even be an advisor for Zelensky!

Cant wait for the re-nationalised railways 3 men to every broom but no trains spotted that anyone can afford!

What a legacy one of the greatest men ever almost Churchillesque to have entered Politics a leader and a visionary that said if he passed me in the street would I say hello or ignore or cross over make your mind up. If we had gone to war I would still have been right behind him you can see him leading from the front.

Burnham is all new and shiny.
In a few months the shine will be gone and the knives will be out as usual.
The electorate expect miracle-workers not solid work.

What's Burnhams view on the alien northern rape gangs, and what is he going to do about the glacial pace of the enquiry ?.

If Mr Burnham bombs the Tories could be in power in a Hung Parliament. The one-policy Reform Party is beginning to lose its attraction. Its charismatic and 2nd-hand car salesperson leader is all fur coat with no knickers. I think Reform has reached its political zenith.

Sir Kier must keep his head held high when he walks out be proud because the country doesn't hate him we love you think about wifey and the kids he will be so sad we all love you Kier yoo de man.

Think about that handshake with Donald.

Starmer did nothing and Burnham will do nothing.
They all spout b o ll o x

Doesnt matter who the leader is as long as them and theirs get looked after.

I expect him to cut  NHS waiting lists and lower taxes.

He did 11 and he sorted out the black hole what he and Rach inherited and more so much more at the same time was a world leader. History will remember him as the very best. I always think of him when Arsenal are on match of the day because they are my club as well.

Spose he will be off in his camper van we bought for him...

Geez liberator of the oppressed - history will remember him as yesterdays tea bags , about as inspiring as , may be not as charismatic as yesterdays tea bags even

liberated of his marbles by the sound of it

shorely a spoof

Just watching a pretty upset Kier on the News as he says our pride and joy referring to the missus and kids we love you Kier yoo de best these horrible Labour people dissing him says it all.

Rayner for Chancellor not Ed the Windmill you have heard it here first.

Another unelected PM
PM number 7 in ten years, what a joke.
"King of the North" , Walofs, never heard the term until last week.

A career politician who lives on spin.

Kier accepted the decision with good grace what a nice man he is.

Gaslighting passes from Starmer to Burnham, no change, altho I do look forward to the demise of Reeves.

GOOD

He took the biggest gulp before turning back in, akin to Ringo backing a 1/3 shot to be in the first 5!

Yaxley wants him imprisoned.
He's going after Bandy barnum next

Not much will change, it you research his policies his supports illegal immigration, public ownership water rail and energy, get rid of reeves and ed , but wage rises and no growth will mean he is doomed but as with all the new ones you’d give em a chance, no chance

King of the North tag isn’t good

For a left winger, how’s that work?

Next…..

**** of the North shortly

Kok

They think its all over , HOLD ALL BETS
