Two Tier’s days are numbered

[Jennps]

Starmer will be gone by this time next year.

This government is imploding right before our eyes, despite a huge (but shallow) majority. People didn’t vote for Labour, as much as they voted against the diabolical Tories in the last election.

Coupled with that, the calibre of MPs in general, but especially the new Labour MPs is shockingly low. These are people who have never had real jobs, and found themselves accidentally in charge of the country. Most them would struggle to use a calculator, let alone understand how the economy works.

Bond markets are already punishing ‘Rachel from accounts’. Cue the insults about misogyny despite the fact that calling her from accounts is an insult to those who actually work in accounts. Gilts are already above when Truss was in charge, meaning the situation is worse. Crazy tax hikes are on the way. Top rate taxpayers are leaving the country in droves.

Boat crossings are at a record high. Unemployment is up, inflation is on the increase. The country is at very real risk of recession.

If Starmer falls, his replacement candidates are terrifying. It’s possible the government could fall within 2 years or so. The chances of Reform getting into power will increase many fold if there is a snap election in that timeframe.

Wonder if the economically illiterate, constantly wanting to constantly shake the magic money tree, are ready for Reform.

If Kier goes we will get Angela Raynor, then we are completely fucked. I think Kier is by far the better option.

There is no one in any of the political parties capable of running the country IMO. We are fucked.

I haven't been impressed yet at all. However, nothing has been as bad as the last at least five years of Tory insanity so it is a marked step up from that. It's a lot of mess to unpick.

Lord help us if they don't start sorting themselves out and we end up with reform (we will then find out what incompetent looks like). I can't believe Labour didn't have a more clear coherent plan given the 100 years in the wilderness.

how did we ever get to have riki?
quite bizarre

Reform's money tree is like nothing else on earth. Hope they know a good gardener. Those fuckers will put us back decades.

After his failure yesterday, it is clear he has no support, is just a figurehead, and is completely toothless.

The unions will smell blood, and yes, I think he'll be gone shortly. They'll put someone further left in, with even less grasp of economics and the UK is genuinely stuffed.

I don't think it'll be Raynor because I don't think the unions will, even now, tolerate a woman.

Then Reform will win a landslide in 2029.

What a complete mess !!

There is no way Raynor would get as far as being PM.

I always think it's very telling when people parrot ridiculous nicknames for MPs. People who say 'Two Tier Kier' for example, sound as thick as mince.

I agree he has been a complete let down, but I would vote for the raving loony monster party before letting Reform get in.

Rather the economically illiterate, than the Tommy Robinson, protect our kids, St George's flag loving illiterate.

Labour voters do the nicknames about the Tories and Farage, so yes, very telling.

They also make me cringe.

And it just gets worse. Not only are individually wealthy top rate taxpayers leaving. Businesses are leaving too.

Exxon pulled out of the UK yesterday because of Red Ed’s crazy obsession with killing our oil industry. We already have the highest energy costs in the world, it only gets worse. And not Astra Zeneca are reportedly looking to move from London stock exchange to New York.

This country is a disaster. Wonder if the ‘eat the rich’ crowd have any ideas on how their freebies will be paid for.

They’ll print more and more money until the pound is worth pennies.

"Thick as mince". Great quote by Dominic Cummings who you presumably admire.

I see nothing wrong in a nickname. Are we supposed to respect this travesty of a PM? Two Tier Keir very neatly sums up his approach to many issues in this country, mainly due to.his warped ideology.

Some companies I’ve spoken to recently would say we’re already in a recession.

The middle classes become the new wealthy to be taxed to death. They don't have the ability to leave the country and escape it.

I'm no Kier Starmer fan, but you sound unhinged OP.

We get the government we deserve, but I still think Labour are the least worst option and this thread is yet another rabble rousing attempt.

No rabble rousing needed, given the polls.

Red Ed? Give me a break. Look up James Hansen, climate warming is accelerating. Labour have been a disappointment in many ways, but they are the only game in town for decarbonisation. Which we need to be doing much faster if we have any hope of a livable future.

'These are people who have never had real jobs, and found themselves accidentally in charge of the country. Most them would struggle to use a calculator, let alone understand how the economy works.'

So you've met our new Reform councillors then......

Can't be any worse than Labour, with their sticky fingers in the troughs.

Oh, I don't know......maybe have a read over your morning cuppa. Our council is mentioned in the article. Absolutely true.

morning Rishi

Well you can't say the lefties don't have a sense of humour. An excellent (and original) comeback.

Regardless of the level of disappointment or worse you think of the Prime Minister, he will be there at least until a year before the next general election, if not longer.
