The UK: The Keir Starmer years (6 Viewers)

People on the doorsteps were saying it was "not remotely Julia." A terrible policy to try to introduce in the year of brat summer.
 
Probably just not wanting to be too unpopular all at once. Once people have a functioning NHS again, they'll bring it back.
 
This seems ODD and hardly requires a resignation, I’m presuming the wicked Starmer pushed her out?

When Reform have an MP who was imprisoned for leathering his girlfriend this seems a bit EXCESSIVE. It’s irritating that they insist on playing to the rules that don’t exist anymore.
 
This is ludicrous! She didn't get any benefit out of her "crime"and she declared it. Definitely something else going on behind the scenes.
 
I suspect she’s been on the outs since the P&O Cruises comment.

Ridiculous though. No doubt her replacement will be some slimeball with close ties to the PLP.
 
Heidi Alexander is the new Transport Secretary - good choice.
 
There really is no place for FPTP in 2024. It 'sort of' worked 30 years when people by and large voted for 1 of the 2 main parties, but as early as the 90s, the splits and support for other parties was already increasing noticeably.

Yes it was beautiful all to see the kicking the Tories got back in July, but Labour really shouldn't be winning 100% of the power on 33% on the vote.
 
I would take any polling at the moment with a pinch of salt because no normal people know who Kemi Badenoch is yet.

At least we'd get PR (and the dissolution of the devolved administrations)

I’m sorry but if people are so fucking thick they’ve forgotten 14 years of Tory ineptitude in 5 months then they don’t fucking deserve democracy. Also, anyone voting Reform is a thick racist cunt and I’m sick of hearing we should ‘listen to them and their reasons for voting Reform’. We listened to them for a decade and a half and the country is infinitely shitter because of it.

Sorry, I know the election is YEARS away but shit like this reminds me what an island of fucking cunts we actually are.
 

To be fair, the actual detail of the speech actually feels quite sensible and like it's engaged with this stuff properly on taking an iterative, small scale + scale-up approach to big projects/reforms/rollouts, rather than the usual handwavey "technology/AI/startups will just solve it all!" bollocks that's heavy on the word 'transformative' and saying everyone in the civil service is crap, but light on any actual detail of how this stuff works or how it might deliver any improvement.

I wouldn't trust Findoutnow as far as I could throw them. The polling averages still show Labour down but in the lead (Labour 28, Tories 26, Reform high teens).

Lovely seeing Rayner making a TWAT of Kuenssberg.

If only Starmer was as prepared as her.
 
Is :assassin: the new running guillotine? Because I'd hate it if we'd seen the last of her.
 
She’s certainly right that Starmer seems to have no political instincts. It seems that the only times when he’s not blundering into the Tories’ traps it’s because he’s blundering into self-inflicted ones.
 
I dunno, I think given the direction of travel in European elections, and the cost the democrats had in not replacing their "leader" earlier (regardless of the fact that they absolutely do not have a mechanism to impose a change anyway), I could see Labour MPs being a bit more trigger happy two years out from a general if things were looking bad.
