Starmer's resigned

[Sadcafe]

So the admittedly boring but truly decent PM has announced his resignation and the egotistical, pompous Burnham will doubtless become PM. God help the country

Well said.
You don't usually see stuff like this make the main newspaper headlines though.
(With the exception of the Mirror which seems to be the only one left for Labour)

Yet people like you are clamering for a woman hating grifter like Farage to be PM, who has never been in cabinet, failed to become leader 100s of times,

Could people please learn to spell Rayner correctly?

Could be the end of the Labour party. Look at how the Libdems imploded after their fiasco of a coalition. No guarantee that any political party can survive the last few decades of turmoil. Likewise, the Tories look to becoming history due to their shockingly poor result in Makerfield!

That’s not correct. Rayner called for an election.

Exactly. The UK population vote for whoever the press/media want in power. We are a weak minded nation, easily led.

"On its knees" good grief calm down.
The country was never going to change over night, but it is slowly getting better.
The only ones shouting for a general election and the ones with a Nigel Farage picture on their mantlepiece. And personally I don't trust the judgement of anyone who doesn't see what a Snake that man really is.

Well in the next General Election, let all the Parties take collective responsibility-maybe three or four spokespeople and then let the winning Party announce who will be PM a week later.

According to you, it won't matter who they choose as long as that person won their seat for the Party.

In some ways, that would be better than the cult of personality but rightly or wrongly, that isn't the way it works here. We vote for a Party in full knowledge that the leader of that Party will be the next PM.

Now, we have Wide Boy Andy that already manipulated a By Election, simply in order to grab power and people are wondering what his policies will be. That's right-wondering-because they will not be the same as the elected PM.

Probably not as a lot of people can’t spell Keir correctly either…

Not sure which political party is to blame for the educational deficits, though.

"Wide Boy Andy"
"Our Ange"

Do you actually know their names, or just playing some ridiculous agenda game with loaded language? As you're kind of proving the point that it's just full of bollocks on social media and too much noise.
That they need to just get on with the job instead of listening to all the baying nonsense.

Burnham - left leaning. More increased benefits for starters. More illegals as well. You think Starmer was bad - this will be far, far worse for hardworking people. BUT the people of this country get the government they deserve.

Not a Labour voter or a fan of Starmer, but things wont be any different for Burnham. It will be the same all over again. People want a magic wand and there isn’t one.

MN was constantly calling for a general election when the Tories chopped and changed leader. Most labour MPs did as well, my local labour MP was very vocal about it and there’s lots of tweets resurfacing from them today.

Spelling is elitist and anti working class, as the woman herrself would tell you.

I imagine one could spell her name in many different ways-maybe beginning with T and or C and people could still make a fair guess as to who you were talking about.

I'm disappointed actually - I know, one of the few! I think he was blamed for a lot but Labour has only been in power 2 years and it's not been long enough to work on the problems left to them. I think the only good thing is 'hopefully' Labour will get someone in who is liked more and so will stop Reform getting into power.
(Before anyone thinks I'm a Red through and through, I have always voted Tories and first time Labour voter last election.)

Angela Reeves ??????

That poster's capitalisation is almost random enough to be suspiciously Donald Trump-like.

It’s about time it was written into law if an existing PM resigns or leaves the post for what ever reason, there must be a General Election called
7 PM’s in 10 years is getting a bad joke now

No, I don't know their names!

Yes. I am Donald Trump.

The last pm to go in and out with a GE was Ted Heath. We seem to have survived in the meantime.

Good most hated man in UK finallly gone

Often confused with Rachel Rayner(or)

Starmer's only real crime is being a Gordon Brown PM when the country is crying out for another Blair. Hopefully Burnham might succeed in conveying good news better.

I will never understand the level of vitriol and hatred the man receives, even ignoring social media manipulation so many can't stand him.

There has been a persistent campaign within Labour to get Starmer out and get King Andy in.

I can’t even begin to put into words how much I despise this kind of back-stabbing politics. Burnham is going to get the job unchallenged by the looks of things.

Whether you agreed with Starmer’s policies or not, he was a decent and principled man who tried his best to do the right thing. He’s not a prime minister who hid in a fridge to avoid tricky questions. He’s handled the orange toddler beautifully and trod a really tricky democratic line well.

Burnham seems to believe his own hype. He’ll blow whichever way he thinks will bring him success. And the way he’s gone about this just shows he’s a snake. I don’t trust him and with his stance on women’s rights, he’ll alienate a lot of female left-wing voters who were only just returning to Labour.

Labour seem to view him as some kind of messiah. He’s just your average slippery politician who’s just better than average at talking a good game. He’s been talking about stopping division and bringing unity while simultaneously running a campaign to undermine the PM and get himself the top job. Fucking hell!!

It’s not about whether you think Starmer is your ideal candidate, or even Andy Burnham. It’s about the fact that a decent man has been hounded out of his job. This is the very worst aspect of politics and needs to stop. There will be incessant calls for a GE election now - just look at this thread. It’s a shitshow.
