Keir Starmer Planning "Night Of The Long Knives"........

[ToraToraTora]

Following their disasterous recent election performance the PM is planning a brutal reshuffle. Hopefully he will start with these:

Chancellor: £57bn black hole.

Leader of the commons: Mentioning Muslim rape gangs = "dog whistle politics.

Ed Milliband: Bankrupting the country with "net zero" fantasy madness.

Deputy PM: Bullying firms to build anywhere and everywhere, green belt, flood plains etc

David Lammy: Embarrasing us on 5 continents.

Hopefully he will also fall on his "long knife" after getting shot of that lot.

He should be the first to go but the rest are just as bad.

[DDIL]

Nothing to see here, normal for politics.

[naomi24]

There could well be something to see.  He promised some of those people a job for the duration - but he's not big on keeping promises.

[New Judge]

The problem is, who does he choose as replacements?

And after he has fallen on his own sword, who replaces him?

[ToraToraTora]

13:38 good point judge but it will be fun while it happens.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is this wishful thinking or is there any substance to your claim?

[davebro3]

some good quotes here:

I think being "savaged by a dead sheep" might fit a 2TK sacking.

And "Being chancellor is not a woman’s job" fits for the present holder of that office.

[naomi24]

I can't see any plans for this, TTT.  Just random vague rumours.

[sandyRoe]

Wishful thinking.

Opponents of the government will have to endure 4 more years of it.  By that time the slightly wobbly start will be long forgotten and we'll all be safely in the sun-lit uplands.

[davebro3]

un-lit uplands if Millipede has owt to do with it 🤣 

[New Judge]

"....the slightly wobbly start..."

That's rather like saying the Second World War was a bit of a dust-up.

[naomi24]

^Yes, a mere scuffle.  🤣

[fender62]

sandyRoe, short memory there, every labour government have made a mess, iv been around long enough to have see a few, iv never voted for any of the main ones, always the oddball parties as iv seen they are all basically dreadful, i do think blair was by far the worst with unfettered immigration from ex soviet countries, and clueless gordy browne.

[tomus42]

SDS at its finest. 

Oh dear, I see we're having a right whinger love in.

Etc etc.

I wouldn't mind if Lammy went though. He's embarrassing.

[Deskdiary]

2.58pm - you come out with guff like that just to convince yourself because anybody with any objectivity knows this shower of clowns of a Govt is the worst in living memory.

 

I've just been sent a clip of Starmer blaming the Tories for the fact that in 2025 there has been 10,000  illegals arriving by boat. I generally can't stand all politicians, but the gaslighting by this Govt is off the scale.

[Canary42]

I think one or two of your titles belong elsewhere :-

Bankrupting the Country: Kwasi Kwarteng

Embarassing us on 5 continents: Lynne Truss

Disasterous recent election: Tory's record defeat in last GE

Perhaps you're bitter bcause he's lasted much longer than a lettuce 😁

[ToraToraTora]

For a non Labour voter canary you don't half go in to bat for them.
