Whoever it is the fickle electorate will be sick of them in a few months

Just to be clear the "national interest" is to keep Farage and Reform out of Government at all costs

Yes. Don't forget the numerable UK journalists who were lauding the appointment of Mandelson as a masterstroke by Starmer

David Frum & @davidfrum • 6h The thing Keir Starmer cannot say: ... "Of course I knew the man had sinister secret ties to Jeffrey Epstein. That's why I chose him. The job was to protect Britain from the madness of President Caligula. Epstein connections are a bona fide job qualification for that mission."

Former speechwriter for Bush the Younger and Senior Editor at The Atlantic:

Where's June Mummery?

Mandelson?

Now do Palantir. And Brexit.

If "It's over for Starmer" It's "Welcome Primeminister Farage"

‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university? When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degr...

Zero net migration would shrink UK economy by 3.6%, says thinktank Jump of £37bn in budget deficit by 2040 would force government to increase taxes, NIESR predicts

Add that to the damage done to the economy by Brexit and reform would have us bankrupt the country

If Starmer doesn't want this to become his Owen Paterson moment he needs to come down on Mandleson like a ton of bricks

So you don't like Starmer? I'm not all that keen but the chaos that will be created if any of the other choices come to power will make this seem like a golden age.

Government to cover travel costs of children with cancer £10 million financial support package for families of children and young people with cancer to cover travel costs to and from appointments.

Can you imagine the Tories or Яeform doing this?

Every single time Britain exercised a Brexit freedom, we ended up poorer or in a worse situation as a result.

Just look at immigration under Boris Johnson, the dreadful NZ and Australian trade deals, the plight of our farmers, the loss of funds to the poorest regions, etc. etc.

It's a confirmation of everyone's worst fears. Out-of-control oligarchs acting like Greek gods by playing global monopoly with people's lives 😡

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

I want to see Starmer cancel every deal he's made with Palantir and get us back into the EU pronto!

Starmer attacks Farage over ‘botched’ Brexit as he signals talks on EU defence pact The Labour leader has outlined the party’s ambition for closer cooperation with Europe

"Starmer attacks Farage over ‘botched’ Brexit as he signals talks on EU defence pact"

Brexit was inherently idiotic, it's like talking about having a botched car crash after voting to drive into a wall.

Still - somewhat of a step in the right direction.

‘They killed him inside’: man who was son’s caretaker detained by ICE and denied final goodbye Wael Tarabishi, who has a lifelong muscle disorder, died after Maher, his father and primary caretaker, was detained

This is what Farage and co. are promising for the UK, soulless, senseless, inhuman racism.

Careful what you wish for.
