They got 35% of the vote but they Govern like they got 90%. They can do this because it gave them a vote of confidence proof majority. It may have been the kill shot for England

That person, reputed to be a “man”, is a craven coward.

Parliamentary systems suck. If the US was a parliamentary system, Nancy Pelosi would have run it...

Starmer won’t be worried until chaos engulfs Davos, that is where his constituency is.

Seems like that is the default system in the "Western world" even though it is inferior.

Flashback to Blago.

Hidin’ in the boys room to avoid staff.

Staff had to go to bowling alley to discuss state business.

And Blago was not so much of a liberal as just a brazen crook.

These people never, ever resign. They know that once they are out of power, they become vulnerable to the very people they have been oppressing.

Conservatives should NOT push for pm starmer ouster. The pm is very unpopular and conservatives can win back the parliament if they run against him

If labour replaces this starmer pm then they might pull off an upset in the same way Canada replaced Trudeau with carney within their own party and now the same liberals have the majority in parliament

Per Larry the Downing Street Cat, working as a reporter for the Cat News Channel, suitcases have been seen.

A couple of two minute reports from the scene...

They .. whoever “they” are .. must have such dirt on Starmer that his only option is to go full David Carradine.

Maybe we can rescue the British by making them an American colony. We could tax their tea.

They’re waiting for the King’s Speech which is scheduled for tomorrow, but I wouldn’t expect any bombshells to be therein. The notion of an incompetent chief executive clinging to power is one that Americans are bitterly familiar with.
