Starmer's refusal to go is plunging the economy into a crisis

It seems the markets are VERY spooked by Keir Starmer's refusal to resign.

The bonds yields are now performing worse than they were under Liz Truss and the interest rate on government borrowing is apparently the highest since the financial crisis in 2008.

Both of these point to economic disaster.

Starmer is risking the economy so he can stay in power for a few more days!

We're going to see higher mortgage rates, higher taxes and even less growth.

All because the Labour Party can’t sort out its leadership problems.

They're reacting badly because they know it's over for Starmer - but can't understand why he won't leave.

The country needs to rally behind one person to ensure the markets become stable.

That person has to be Wes.

I've got the perfect slogan for him

I'm with Wes. Are you?

You couldn’t be more disingenuous if you tried. We all know that you are a Tory or Reform shill, why keep up the pretence?

You might as well just say it. Because that's what you'll get after Streeting.

Does anyone actually believe we would get anything better from any party? None of them are able to achieve what they say, or do anything that would be generally given a consensus of opinion from the masses.

Watching economic news and seeing terrible data because the government is in crisis does not make someone a Reform voter. Being concerned that the economy is in dire straits because of this instability does not make someone a fan of Nigel Farage.

It makes them a human being.

Give your head a wobble.

I'd like a good economy, a fair society and support for gay veterans.

That's why I'm invested.

Why aren't you? Do you not care about the future?

Nah, I’m certainly not invested enough for my “focus to be on this” as per your other thread

I vote for who I believe in a GE. That’s about it. I gave up on politics after about 30 years. They’re all shit.
