Starmer listing all his wonderful achievements so brilliant you wonder why he’s resigned , oh yes just more lies
His legacy will be determined by how he supported the Israelis obliteration of Palestine. The question is: was that the right decision to support the greater Israel project by means of genocide.
One would think that was an extremely naive choice and one made by someone completely inept at politics
I speak to all Britons. I’m a Brazilian and I’ve seen enough political f*ckery in these lands in my 35 years for a lifetime, but the matter of leadership in your country is frankly ridiculous.
You should do something. Honestly.
Status quo is clearly failing spectacularly.
Why is he crying? Stiff upper lip. Isn't that still a thing?
"…putting the country I love first…". Still lying, even during his resignation speech. He's been putting the subjects of other countries first his entire term. I hope he never gets a peaceful moment when out in public for the rest of his miserable life. Despicable, treacherous man.
Now Spain has to follow and Pedro Sanchez has to resign.
The UK has lost its former sense of national homogeneity, and the current parliamentary system is no longer functioning effectively. While the nation was once powerful and unified, it has changed significantly; unfortunately, the English Monarch can do little more than watch this decline. The problem is not merely a matter of managing illegal or legal migration—which could be controlled and stopped—but rather the infiltration of foreign political ideologies, which are working to colonize the country and displace the English people.

Ah well, it‘s always about the lesser evil down to politics, I hope Brits are not stupid enuf to elect a TACO 2.0, far right is purely dictatoriship who destroys human rights and democracy. Look at the States. Masking racisicm and blaming all economic problems on immigrants isn’t the solution to the political problems in UK. You guys should never vote for Brexit.
7 prime ministers in 10 years. 😳 As American I can’t wrap my head around that. Although, in fairness, our politicians get elected and then stay in office way too long.
Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss.Will get fooled again!!😡
Be careful who you marry. The road to Zion is not a good one and can be tragic.
Why do governments in the UK never last long? I think the country is lost in a labyrinth of intertwined problems : immigration, energy, and the economy. Perhaps no government can survive as the people realize it can't escape this?
Look at what's happening in the UK; you really don't need more than 30 minutes to explain it.
Lets not beat around the bush. His resignation, was based on the Mandelson issues, the Wes Streeting resignation, Defence Secretary John Healey and Armed Forces Minister Al Carns resignation. His declining respect with world leaders, (recent G7 snubbings by World leaders and leaving him out of main meeting) and then all the issues with knife crime, the non urgency around border control and Illegal migrants. Hiding the fact that they were housing those illegal migrants in Hotels and HMO's. And all the two tier policing under his watch. Also not reading the room on how the British people feel about the state of the UK and freedom of speech.
prob knows its beyond saving and doesnt want to be on the clock as it collapses
Because he was useless and lied to the British people, damaged the UK. A boring robot we had to listen too
By how much has he enriched himself since coming to power?
Really funny hearing people call him "marxist" and "stalinist" when he was by far the most far right UK politician, second to warmongerer Tony Blair. The next one will be the same or even worse as they all have the same mission, make the billionaires richer. At least the "conservatives" are more honest about their purposes. Foreigner speaking here and probably "russobot" but that's the problem in Cromwell's island, it's not the lack of freedom of speech, on the contrary you can say whatever you want but nothing changes because the working class ended up so apolitical. And in a services-based economy is actually a joke to use the term "working class". The austerity people are facing is due to the fact that capitalism, which has officially expired, is being replaced with a kind of neo-feudalism in a "DEI" packaging. Using british terms we can say that a new "Cromwell" is needed. My opinion but I think/hope I am entitled to this. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
Who ever gets the job ! Please support what trades we’ve left in our country , Hospitality& Farming ,get a grip and be aware of our standing in the Modern World , Stand up to what we Hold Dear ? great Britian 🇬🇧🏴🏴
When the legal and justice systems destroy themselves by turning toward social justice, these pathetic, weak, brainless, shameless, and useless clowns are just the norm of a declining, end of the rope falling system at its last phase. It's no longer about politics or partisan parties and their policy failures, which may be quickly repaired, reversed, or replaced. The traditional values, century-old culture, social damages, lethal legal poison, and the systematic harms are permanent, irreversible, and will last for generations, or forever.
People can wallop on Brexit all they like, but in reality the 2024 general election was by far the UK's most damaging democratic decision in its history. I know that the Tories were bad, but voting in an evil Labour government was not the answer, and this was obvious. None of the disaster narrative of the last 2 years has been a surprise to people like me.
Starmer is nearly anonymous. Perfect filler. However, this has little to do with why his time is up. When Burnham goes it will be more of the same. No real election- no real impact.
When he asks them a question he goes on and on
Pushing him out what does it show
Censorship and control of the narrative through the use of state police force is the core of every dictatorship
