Following the humiliating dismissal of Lord Mandelson, Keir Starmer is dealing with growing discontent from both political rivals and members of the Labour Party.
New Labour architect Mandelson was dramatically sacked from his position as US ambassador on Thursday after the emergence of emails to notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, describing him as his ‘best pal’.
Many Members of Parliament are incensed about the incident and the fact that Sir Keir chose Lord Mandelson for the position in the first place.
Left-wing MP Clive Lewis became the first to call for the PM to go, telling the BBC’s The Week in Westminster that the atmosphere in the Parliamentary Labour Party had become ‘very, very dangerous’.
And it has since emerged that Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could be planning to oust Sir Keir, with a sitting MP allegedly prepared to stand down to let Mr Burnham back into the House of Commons.
You can now cast your vote in the Daily Mail poll on whether Sir Keir should be removed from Downing Street as the Labour Party’s terrible week comes to a close and more rage is on the horizon.
Not only should Keir Starmer be ousted, but an election should be called – Labour are not fit for purpose.
Both Labour and Conservatives need to be closed to all elections. They’ve had their time in office, and they were equally ineffective, and mark my words, Reform will not be any more useful – we need totally fresh blood, not something that has sat in a test tube for over 50 years.
The Tories are finished, Labour are hopeless, and even Reform have admitted they are not electable, so who do we vote for?
At the moment, there is not one politician in the UK who has what is needed to run the country!
Thankfully, I’m not one of the number one idiots who voted for this shambles of a government – I wouldn’t vote for the Conservatives either, and before you criticise, I did vote, just not for them.
We need a fixed term for a Prime Minister to be in office, and once they are in office, there needs to be a 14-month cooling-off period, not for the Prime Minister who has been elected, but for the people, especially if that PM pledged something they did not deliver, and then there needs to be another General Election.
If you pledge or promise something, that is deemed a verbal contract and is essentially a legally binding contract in the UK, especially if it’s an intent to do something, but that can be difficult to argue if it is not in writing, so from now on any Prime Minister who says that he will do something for the British people needs to put it writing, otherwise people are not going to believe what they say, not after Starmer anyway.
They should therefore be removed from office right away if they fail to fulfil the aforementioned vow or promise, because they all promise us the earth before they get in, but once they’re in, it’s a different story.
