Starmer runs out of options

I note Starmer made an immense error in not going to Makerfield to support the labour party candidate in the Makerfield by-election, claiming to have been too busy.

If the new MP for Makerfield would like to become Prime Minister before September, that's fine by me.

Keir Starmer to step down as prime minister two years after historic election victory

That "historic election victory" was the election after Dave, Theresa, Boris, Liz and Rishi. Let me bold them - Dave, Theresa, Boris, Liz and Rishi! A headless chicken could have swept Labour to a landslide victory after those clowns. The chap in charge of the party that day was Keir Starmer and he was not the reason for the Labour landslide. The reason he was leader at the time was that he and his friends had weaponised anti-Semitism against Jeremy Corbyn, who was and is entirely innocent of Starmer's drip-drip accusations. And that's how Keir Starmer happened to be Labour leader and became Prime Minister. Character assassination.

We now have a cheeky chappie from up North. The exchange on being sworn in by Lindsay Hoyle was along the lines of "He's not the Messiah", "He's a naughty boy" and "He can turn water into wine!" Nobody's going to believe that, I'll quote it...
Desmond Swayne shouted “Rome is saved” as Andy Burnham was sworn in.

Someone else then shouted “he’s not the messiah”.

After a brief pause, Burnham replied jokingly suggesting he was a “naughty boy” instead. Someone else repeated the line.

And then another MP joked about Burnham “turning water into wine”.

It's no way to run a country but at least Starmer's gone to his just reward. He should have stepped down after the May local elections.

Andy Burnham actually made it into the building - Number 10 is now Yorkshire, Hovis and proper tea. We are now officially run by an extremely liberal mayor of a town. Bang on, good call Donny, that's the chap in a nutshell, I'm sure he felt honoured taking your call. "The Prime Minister has got a big job ahead of him, but he will be able to do it and, of course, the U.S.A. will be there to help!" according to The Guardian.
