UK Politics

[UpTheIrons]

Burnham returns to parliament at last, outperforming the polls with a landslide win in Makerfield. By the sounds of things he is going to privately appeal to Starmer to stand aside in the coming days. I can't see Starmer leaving of his own volition, but he is doomed in any leadership contest.

 

[Spaldy]

Brilliant news and solid evidence that Burnham is capable of defeating Refucked. Starmer should do the right thing and step aside gracefully.

 

[UpTheIrons]

Starmer has announced his resignation, with nominations for a successor to be submitted in the coming weeks. 20% of labour party MPs (meaning 81 required) must nominate a new leadership candidate, if multiple candidates win enough support there will be a vote amongst labour party members.

British politics is a joke.

With the next MP, the last 6 MPs were in office from 2016 to now.
The 6 before them? From 1976 to 2016.

It's just pure chaos nowadays.

If only we could jot it down to a calamitous event 10 years ago that single handedly destabilised British politics and society as a whole...

Burnham will be two parts useless. I will be amazed if he is successful. That will open for the door for Farage and then we will be fucked.

Reform have peaked. He's a more popular politician than Farage is and can help bring back the working class vote.

If this comes to pass, I will be happy. If he actually passes laws that make things better for the working class, I will be happy. I am just burnt out it’s politics. It just feels that no policy in the last 10 years have benefited me (other than increased paid childcare hours)
