Labour Party politics

[ASCPFC]

Maybe if you are doing alright personally you could see it like that.

The reality is that it's much worse than choppy waters for a lot of people.

A lot of people are drowning.

...or every Thursday

Yes, meet the Labour PM on Thursdays. I guess The King, the Head of the Church of England, is busy of Fridays ? or is Friday for meeting with Labour Mayors ?

I'm no fan of Streeting.....Mind you, come to think of it, I can't think of anyone on the modern left I like.

That said, purely on his chances of becoming PM.....Going early does strike me as his best chance.

He's not the most popular in his party but if he can present a choice between him and Starmer before others get their shoes on, then he has a chance.....he's a better communicator than Starmer and could win the vote.

If Labour MPs voted Starmer back in they would really need their brain cells checked.....then again, they are Labour MPs I suppose.

Looks as though he's going for it sooner rather than later.

Streeting allies tell BBC they expect him to challenge Starmer for leadership as soon as tomorrow

The health secretary met the PM for less than 20 minutes in Downing Street this morning ahead of the King's Speech to Parliament.

Has the most useless PM in recent times resigned yet??

 

[Putitout]

The only improvement Streeting, would make, is he is not actually Starmer. Any practical improvement is not likely.

Has the most useless PM in recent times resigned yet??

They've all been as equally useless as each other for some time now. If the King had balls, he'd address the nation and ask for the whole of parliament to step down. A reset is required. We'll never get it. By the time it is recognised the whole place will have likely fallen down like a rotten old garden shed.

The last time a monarch tried that it did not end well, I know Farage wants civil war but Charles 3 is not Charles 1.

No he isn't. He's two more.

...or the constitutional power?

As long as he doesn't lose his head.

...or the constitutional power?

He can actually ask for things. He can't impose them. If it were, for example, within the King's speech, then everyone would at least hear it. Won't happen - but personally I don't fancy any of the current parties, any of the politicians more or less, the voting system is inadequate, the party system needs examination.
The actual reason the King won't rock the boat is Reform will win. God forbid that commoner getting above his station.
The system is geared towards the establishment in all of our countries. It doesn't reflect anything that people want or need. I'd say that for pretty much all democracies these days. We see it all over, time and time again. I don't need to give examples. They're all, around us every day.

Wes Streeting will be miffed.

Bond rates are higher now I believe.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Wes Streeting will be miffed.

For those of us not au courant with such matters - what is miffing?

"Miffed" is an informal adjective meaning slightly annoyed, offended, or upset, typically by something someone said or did. It describes a feeling of mild irritation, frustration, or being "put out" rather than extreme anger.

And I thought you had a dicktionary.

It wasn't an allusion to his social life then.

It wasn't an allusion to his social life then.

I didn't know politicians were allowed one.
