Prime minister facing disastrous elections in Scotland, Wales and England next year as his party trails Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the polls
Look, I’m not happy with what Starmer and Co have done so far in aggregate, but the PLP would be signing it’s own death warrant if they engaged in the type or psychodrama which the Tories did over the last 5 years.
A good amount of MPs already know they will likely lose their seats in 2029, but trying to accelerate that is not in their interest.
I completely agree, they’ve got five years, they should try to actually get something done.
I mean yeah, she’s not a time traveller or a precog so that’s probably quite an accurate and obvious statement…
lmao, reporter: “do you think Starmer will still be PM?” her: “shit I dunno, pr-”
reporter: “SHE DOES NOT KNOW.”
I didn’t have Theresa May becoming Labour leader on my bingo card, though perhaps desperate times call for desperate measures.

he’s nationalising rail, building houses, and doing a lot of what he’d said he’d do
whats the beef

I like nationalised rail and all that. But then there’s Palestine, his pro-AI stance, suppressing dissent, the ID scheme, and the “island of strangers” thing. I know it was foolish to expect much better from a Sir, but still disappointing.

thats true, he’s not the labour we want but he’s the exact labour he said he’d be

But he put a load of immigrants in a local hotel, and being the sneaky time-travelling bastard that he is, he managed to do this back in 2020 when the Tories were in charge. 😠
