Starmer had one shot to fix the country. Rejoin S/M, implement P/R, + press & social media reg => ultimately bring us down from the frenzied radicalisation & echo chambers. He's fucked up on all of it. He probably will be ousted.

Sorry, but I wouldn’t trust any labour member to run the country, especially the way they have run places like London and Manchester into the ground, as criminal activity is higher under labour and under the conservatives

Manchester: despite being Labour-controlled, has seen crime falling by 8% in the last year, which directly contradicts the implied premise that Labour governance leads to higher crime rates. London: Overall violence in London is significantly lower than in the 1990s. Shoplifting is another thing !

100% that Starmer will lose the 2029 election. That much was clear from his first 6 months. Main reason apart from this govt’s incompetence and ceding of ground to far right is of course press support for Farage. He will give them what they want - lower taxes for wealthy.

If Andy Burnham runs in a by-election. His out. Otherwise it's Angela Rayner for leadership asap. The sooner the better. Plus hire some teenagers to do there social media.

And? Everyone slated as a possible to replace Starmer is just as bad, or worse, and will carry on in the same vein. Labour needs root and branch reform, not a bit of light deadheading.

Step 1. Get rid of 'Blue Labour'. Anyone in that group is a Tory and has no place in a left wing party.

Agreed Starmer isn't popular but then what? He resigns tomorrow, who is the next leader? They'll still get hammered by the rightwing media and by the left as Red Tories I think we are looking at Trump style Farage government regardless

This is why Press-Reg and Social Media reg is essential. Labour either see that or they do not. Currently they're operating in a "Windows Vista autopilot is flying this 747" kinda capacity.

And he os still going on about migrants, just lending credibility to it as a major issue. Which it IS NOT.

He spent 4 years lying before becoming PM. Why anyone thought he was the answer to anything is beyond me.

The biggest disappointment in British politics in modern history. And given the competition, that is quite the achievement.

He should be ousted, he’s killing @teamlabouruk.bsky.social & anything decent it ever stood (past tense 😬) for! Going on about 🛶, “illegal migrants” (there are none) like some farage boot boy, is embarrassing when citizens are being pillaged by #brexit consequences & being 3rd class Europeans 🙈

With the largest majority in the hallowed chamber since politicians wore extravagant powdered wigs, duelled in Hyde Park & rogered their servant maids. Breathtaking incompetence.

Under what mechanism will be be ousted? He either has to call an election himself which would be bizarre, or challenged for leadership of his party, which doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

This government inherited an absolute nightmare, nothing was working no money to make it work , actually think Jesus Christ would have said " fuck this " If he had to sort out the mess of 14yrs of self servicing hypocritical incompetence that the Tories left behind.

Yeah he had one shot, it wasn’t anything to do with the EU, in fact it’s easier from outside the EU. It was public ownership and a just transition.

None of the things you listed were in the Labour manifesto that they were voted in on. What a silly post.
aug 31, 2025, 6:46 am • 6 0 • view
"No tax rises on working people" is in the manifesto. I'd playfully speculate said manifesto may not be a particularly credible document come next month.

What tax rises for working people have been announced?

Do you think there'll be tax *cuts* in the Autumn statement?

Could you answer my question first please
aug 31, 2025, 7:01 am • 2 0 • view
None (yet) but if you think we will not see tax rises with the debt as it is, bond interest rates as they are and cuts voted down as they were - you are dreaming. The alternative is more cuts and/or a wealth tax, and Labour have ruled that out. So how are you imagining they’ll avoid this?
aug 31, 2025, 7:08 am • 3 0 • view
None, thank you. There a many taxes that do not affect working people that can be reformed, raised or adjusted. Such as CGT, inheritance tax or a new property or land tax.

There’s a room going around that he will leave as prime minister after the next budget. But knowing him, it’s another lie.

I do not believe he will willingly step down. For all his faults, i think he believes he's doing a public-service by begrudgingly staying on as PM, like "I've got us this far, i dont think i trust anyone else to nav us out of this"
