If you thought Straner was bad....

Apparently, there are appeals being made to Burnham not to appoint Millibrain as Chancellor of the Exchequer…

Lol. I got the same sinking feeling when Blair became PM.

Pat McFadden?

He was the only labour PM to manage more than just one term

Wilson ?

I should have said consecutively

I admit being able to con the public into voting for him twice was quite a feat.

But as a lawyer he was a professional liar. Most politicians are mere amateurs...

Well. definitely remove him from Energy so that we can adopt some sensible policies. He'll need to be given a job to prevent him causing trouble on the back benches - but *please* not chancellor. How about Minister for Bacon Butties - where he can't do too much harm?

OK

It occurs to me that Labour supporters have a rather distorted view of the long term popularity of their party

I am well past pension age, but in my lifetime Starmer is only the 3rd Labour PM elected by the great unwashed - and there have only been 2 others in the entire history of the party

just the job for a man with 2 kitchens ?

Thought there were more than that. I can think of four straightaway And there have been 7

Ramsay MacDonald (1924, 1929–1935) Clement Attlee (1945–1951) Harold Wilson (1964–1970, 1974–1976) James Callaghan (1976–1979) Tony Blair (1997–2007) Gordon Brown (2007–2010) Keir Starmer (2024–present)

The second clause of your sentence does not follow from the first.

Nobody sane would do what Miliband is doing *by* *choice*. He is either compelled or rewarded, as any possible replacement would be.

Net Zero, as applied to a small developed country, cannot conceivably do what it says on the tin. Its purpose is to eliminate the economy it is applied to.

Depends on the exact assertion. Neither Callaghan nor Brown were elected PM at a public election, they simply took over the post as Burnham will do, on the nod from their own colleagues.

So we all run back to Mama EU and say we are sorry...

That's still 5 of the bastards

No PM has ever been elected in the UK.

No, but it is assumed that the leader of the party at the time of the election will be PM. Callaghan and Brown were not party leader when the last GE was held.

For God's sake, people vote in a General Election for the party leader they like best. All this business about MPs and representation is rubbish.

Why would we do that? And anyway, the productive people of Britain are not sorry. It's only the parasites who want to ride on a bigger gravy train that are.

and Starmer and his band of clueless idiots received way less than half the votes actually cast (thanks to 'Reform') but still bagged a massive majority of MP's
