Should there be a general election when Starmer gets booted?

If there was an election next week

Dream on boyo. Labour and Sir Keir are here to stay. Dig in.

You obviously mean until the next election, when they get voted out and we don’t see a labour PM for decades ?

As long as we agree.

So it’s looking like Starmer could have stopped the Lords appointment once he found out about Doyle despite lying to the contrary.

A statement from the Upper House confirmed that appointments are only final when 'letters patent' are signed by the King and sealed.

Things aren’t going to change. Nigel cant please the rich with reforms polices. He’s a little distraction puppet, he won’t be here long.

I’m not saying he wouldn’t do better than Keir, he would and could. But so could every forum member.

If you're that depressed about the future you may as well just vote Reform. Even if you don't think they'll succeed at the very least you know they haven't (yet) failed, they're our one and only remaining chance.

He doesn't need to do either regardless of the May local elections.

His strategy is to weather the storm, but the alternatives of a GE and/or a leadership contest will be fixed in the mind of the MPs who might be tempted to bring him down.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

The King is not obliged to follow the advice of the PM, he has other advisers he can consult.
If a PM called an unpopular election (within his party), he/she is unlikely to withstand the party political fallout.

He wouldn't be seeking to survive it.

The logic is that he threatens the labour party with an election, knowing that they'll almost all lose their seats. It's speculated that this is exactly what happened the other day, when they all suddenly tweeted their support within an hour.

It's a threat to hang over them all - support me or I'll burn the house down with us all in it. He apparently does have the power to single-handedly call an election. As long as his party knows this and thinks he might do it then they'll all pretend to support him, as they now are.

They're probably trying to work out whether they can remove him quickly enough that he can't call an election before it happens. But nobody wants his job until after May anyway, they want him to carry the can before they dispose of him.

I do wonder if Starmer resigns who would replace him - I don't see anyone in the present mob who could be effective and less damaging to the national economy.
However, calling a general election could (should) lead to a more balanced government.

I do wonder what the UK would look like after a Reform majority win.

That tiny minority of noisy lefties are utterly convinced that they are right even when everyone else disagrees. They're going to be screaming and shouting all over the place, protesting about everything. It will be like a massive national teenage tantrum of "it's not fair".

Lefitness is so ingrained within tiers of government. Entire departments, possibly even the police, may refuse to get into line.

It could all get way less stable than things are now.

Really? It’s not like you’ve mentioned it previously.
Dig in boyo, enjoy the Labour ride.

A ride into the buffers. Make the most of it, they won't exist after 2029.

Probably before that the way this set of loonies are acting

Vote.

Before their time!

I see he’s sacrificed another stooge today…..

Sir Chris Wormald forced out as head of Civil Service

The Cabinet Office says the move is "by mutual agreement" but it follows months of negative media reports about his performance.

I never understood British voters.
They vote Labour and everything gets fecked upside down.
They suffer a mandate of hell and then they vote Tory for 3 mandates.
Ten they forget how bad Labour is/was/will be and they vote them again, just about when things start working out
The cycle restarts and everybody gets shafted again by the communist regime.
Until next election.
