To think Keir Starmer is toast as soon as the state visit is over

Just that really. If it wasn't for the visit he'd probably be gone already.

If a PM s respected by the opposition they’re not doing their job properly.

I disagree. If think you can respect someone you don't agree with.

I think he is floundering, but I don’t want him to step down as pm because we will end up with someone a lot worse and even further to the left. So I hope he stays.

I would like Starmer to cling on until the next election and not get replaced by someone more popular, Conservatives to sort themselves out and Reform to implode. I don’t think it will pan out how I want it to though.

Starmer and the royal family have played a blinder with Trump ... £150 million of inward investment providing job opportunities for the UK. Why would we want to get rid of Starmer .. he is not flamboyant but is quietly getting the job done.

One can only hope - then take rest of Labour govt with him !

incompetent dangerous fools

Offset against all the job losses caused by Labour in pharma, retail etc. Not everyone is lauding this as a success, see Nick Clegg + TWIM.

He made a terrible decision over the Chagos Islands. Only he could give the Chargos Islands away to Mauritius, which is 1600 miles away from the Islands when the UK has no money and is billions in debt. Then pay billions to rent it back. I really hope this deal can be reversed when Reform comes to power. He authorised the train drivers to be given huge payments without any concessions. He supports Milliband in his net zero nonsense costing us all over £1300 pa on our fuel bills. He is corrupt accepting freebies from clothes, designer glasses, stays in penthouse flats and Arsenal football tickets as well as free clothes for his wife. Then he repays Lord Ali with a Downing Street pass. I thought Rayner was on manoeuvres but she is just as corrupt fiddling the amount of SDLT she had to pay and also accepted the full set of free ies including clothes and stays in an American luxury accommodation. I suppose they could parachute Andy Burnham into a safe seat. Starmer is very unpopular and ATM I can't see Labour having a popular replacement for him.
