Are we all looking forward to David Lammy becoming PM?

[ProudAmberTurtle]

There's no way Starmer can survive this latest scandal.

Lord Mandelson failed his security vetting for the US ambassador job, but he still got the post anyway.

Starmer stood up in Parliament last September and insisted "full due process" was followed — three times.

He therefore either misled parliament and has to resign under the Ministerial Code, or his advisors have misled him and parliament, which is likely a criminal matter and suggests a level of almost unbelievable government incompetence or corruption.

What great things are you hoping this country will achieve under PM Lammy?

I have been impressed with the government these past couple of months. The SEND white paper is a decent attempt to ethically manage what is unsustainable high needs funding and we got to see financial allocations for LAa today to support early access to appropriate help and it's a decent amount. Plus Starmer is handling Trump well.

I for one want them to carry on as is for a bit.

I want Starmer to stay, not least because the prospect of Streeting getting in is too much to stomach

Agree Burnham would have been the best outcome

I agree. Plus increasing benefits and pensions.

Plus Starmer is handling Trump well.
Hear hear.

thats why we need one for years

KS was a stalking horse to make Labour acceptable again, and it worked for a while, but this debacle will make the Labour Party unelectable for decades.

The Labour Party are desperate to hold onto KS till May 8th, which is going to be excruciating to watch, they should have thrown him under the bus months ago.

Both Labour and the Conservatives failed to deliver, and we'll see the frustration reflected in the results on May 8th, gawd help us...

Wahey!

Thing about David Lammy and his gender comments is we know even he doesn’t believe it. He just thinks it’s going to curry favour with a certain demographic. In fact none of them believe it. With the exception of a few absolute loons like Layla Moran and Maggie Chapman who I think do believe it.

If Lammy was sincere then that would be bad enough…

Well done!

David Lammy said it was possible for a transwoman to grow a cervix. Someone this batshit being prime minister is scary.

Are you sure you don’t mean Derren Brown.

I know that's how it works, but I don't think they won because people wanted them in, they just wanted the Conservatives out. And now, it seems, they want the Labour Party out too if the polls are correct. The electorate appear to think that all the problems can be solved in half an hour.

And yes, good shout about the spelling, my bad.

Who thinks that the status quo is ‘stability’ and that KS is ‘handling’ Trump? You have a VERY low bar.

A highly respected top FCDO civil servant now gone, yet look at his response to Q310 here when he appeared before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee.

This is undoubtedly a Labour high command cover up. The public knows it. Peter Mandleson was like cat nip to them and the buck stops at the top.

I agree. We don’t vote for the party we want to win. We vote against the party we don’t want to win.

It's shocking isn't it? Someone on a discussion forum has a view that isn't the same as yours

I disagree.
All my adult life I've voted for the party that I want to win. I'm sure I'm not alone

I’m not disagreeing necessarily-but why?

I'm not saying that everyone did, but a significant portion did. There are at least two that did in this thread.

Keep posting op, Labour won’t like it. Re Lammy I hope not.

Is "two from this thread" evidence enough?
I could say that all my family and colleagues voted Labour!
My point is this - either a party wins or they don't (I'm not talking about coalitions).
I find it curious that some people find it hard to accept that Labour won, so have to diminish the electoral result in some way. They won. If you really wished it was the Conservatives or Reform (or whoever) that's another matter.

A thread by @ProudAmberTurtle about Labour, surely not 🥴

Keep posting Labour won’t like it 😂😂😂😂

you think Labour are forming their policies based on @ProudAmberTurtle’s posts on MN

I very much doubt that Labour will be bothered about her posts!

Tbf I mean posters on here who defend Labour.

It’s just shorthand for all the ‘don’t bash Labour’ posters.
