7 PMs in a decade 😬

*reason for this

The media don't help calling for resignations all the time.

The David Cameron of the Labour party. He can talk the talk, Can he walk the walk?

Well, we shall see, shan’t we?

I hope he can make some changes for the better.

What is obvious is that Burn’em has plotted to overthrow Starmer so let’s hope it was all for the good. Burn’em went to a lot of trouble to take control.

Well, I’m sad to see the back of Starmer. He, in my view, was quite badly treated and should have been allowed to finish the job he was given.

However, we are where we are. Words are meaningless, let’s see what actions follow these words.

We simply have to give him a chance, we have no choice.

They keep digging up stuff.
Not just leaders but those around them too. Which doesnt at all help their case.
Especially if they "stand by them".

Personally, I think 7 PMs is mainly down to lack of morals.
[though I probably need a refresher course in why 7 PMs have gone. I had no idea it was that number, and cant think it was all because of how they behaved or how those around them behaved].

I agree with you Cossy.
But as you say it is what it is so now we have Burnham, let’s hope he is given a chance to actually do something good for the country and isn’t ousted before he gets a chance. He certainly can talk and so will be much better at communicating to the people what he is achieving whereas Starmer was far more quiet man politically.

I agree with you, Cossy. How will Burnham cope with many of the public wanting and expecting things to be put in place yesterday.
I see the media are already sharpening their pencils

We are where we are. Starmer and Labour were hounded by the media from 5 July 2024 and compounded that by making their own clumsy mistakes. Labour under Starmer did achieve some good things but failed to publicise them sufficiently.

As an old school socialist who just wants a fairer society and thinks it can be done, that we can afford it, Burnham’s speech just now brought tears to my eyes.

An end to rough sleeping and more council houses. Everybody deserves a decent and affordable roof over their head. Start there, fix the inequity over housing and all else follows.

You mean swords?

Most new PM speeches are good, but then reality takes over.
At least AB has some vision and passion and I liked what he said.
It can’t all be done without money and I think income tax should go up across the board.

I hope he does well, he is likeable and speaks well and just thank goodness someone new is leading. It would have been an absolute nightmare if Starmer had gone to the polls in 2 years, the Labour Party would have just imploded.
