This will be another prime misery, of that I’m sure, it matters not who you vote for even if there was a general election, because you will still end up with Govern-ment,.

Drain the swamp in all of its entirety, a minimum wage for all who are made to replace them, ensuring that they serve with a passion in the future!

Enough Is Enough!

Replacing STARMER with BURNHAM is like being a kid in a children’s hospital in the 1970’s and being told the Jimmy Savile visit has been cancelled, only to hear the sound of a didgeridoo coming down the corridor!

The initial meeting between Burnham (Former successful Manchester Mayor) and Khan of London will be hillarious

Imagine getting a massive round of applause from everyone because youre leaving 😅
@
Whilst public are struggling with cost of living others look like celebrating their achievements. People are skipping meals to end meets "bear in mind".

Three years to stave off fascism. He needs to act quickly and decisively.
@
Hooray, the country can begin to heal now.
@
What very troubling turnover, it is very destabilizing for the UK and Europe. There is tremendous pressure in high public office in this age of tech and unsustainable expectations. Deep soul searching is needed. 🇨🇦😊

Burnham will rapidly go the way of Keir Starmer if he doesn't resolve the fundamental problem of the billionaires and giant corporations not paying taxes ! Not a word on this elephant in the N°10 living room. Bye bye Burnham very soon if he doesn't wake up. Or is he also getting paid off ? We will see.
@
How long would the new guy last?
@
Does Starmer actually believe his own lies? He should be prosecuted for his disastrous time as prime minister.

He seems different to the previous PMs. I will give him a chance.

Your speech outside No. 10 was very encouraging, inspiring, and ambitious. I hope you follow it through every step of your premiership to achieve it! Hence, wish you and your team all the very best, and GOD be with you! One thing we all would like to see is that the UK establishes itself as one of the global leaders with an independent foreign policy, free from the shackles and influences of the USA, Israel, and their lobby groups, and makes a positive contribution toward solving the Israel and Palestinian as well as Ukraine and Russia's deadly conflicts through only diplomacy, not through providing military aids to any side!
@
ill fill in the calendar this time next year for the out speech..
@
Until they clap again as he reads his resignation speech a few months or years from now, you watch and see, mark my words!
@
Finally, we know what he was doing for the last month. He was learning his speech to deliver it without notes😂

Every new PM for the last decade ... "this will be the greatest political change in decades" then proceed do absolutely nothing different, which is precisely why they keep getting yeeted out of office. Embarrassing.
