It’s little over five months since the Labour Party won the election. Yet a majority of the UK public are now opting for Keir Starmer to resign as prime minister, according to YouGov. 40% of respondents think he should resign, while 36% think he should remain and 24% don’t know.

Starmer has done his job as lapdog for Israel. He got rid of Corbyn and made the 'leftist' party become right wing. Whether he gets re-elected matters little to him.

Sounds like Starmer's real passion is to be the president of Ukraine.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but sadly people wouldn't listen, they were (rightfully!) so desperate to get the tories out, they didn't want to hear that the establishment had arranged for them to be voting another one straight in.

And they also don't want to hear that this was entirely intentional, that it is a well established way of getting the blue tories back in and worse than ever next election, and that continuing to play this silly game of "vote for one of the two people we've approved for you to vote for" is ever going to benefit us as a society, but only the ones manipulating us in to keeping them in power.

And so the exact same cyclical shit will keep happening.
