It’s a little late for the eviction from Number Ten Downing Street to be considered “gracious”. And, of course, the British prime ministership is going from “stupid, corrupt, and Zionist” to “insane and extreme socialist” so things aren’t going to get any better on the domestic or immigration fronts, although the enthusiasm for foreign invasions should be significantly reduced.
Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.
The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No10.
But he acknowledged that his time as PM had run out. ‘I know the question being asked now is not who is best placed to change the Labour Party… the question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.’
He added: ‘I accept that answer with good grace… that is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.’
Sir Keir said there would be an ‘orderly’ process to choose his replacement, and that a successor would be in place before the Commons summer recess on July 16, if there is only one candidate – Mr Burnham. Otherwise, the decision could take until August.
I doubt it matters much who leads the Labour Party. The British people have no interest in being run by the Tories or Labour anymore. Why should they, when both parties have observably governed on behalf of their foreign invaders, at their expense and to their detriment.
Perhaps they can vote their way out of it, but that seems unlikely given the near-comprehensive failure of every conservative and/or nationalist party outside of Russia and El Salvador to deliver meaningful results that are genuinely beneficial to the people of the nation.
