„I will not resign“ said every PM who resigned ever
Are they going to say this every day until he does resign?
Keir Starmer has declared he has complete faith in Keir Starmer.
Labour insiders expect the campaign for a new leader to start by Thursday.
His communications team has been rubbish anyway so this may work out better for him.
We’ve finally got some stability, he should only resign if the committee find he overlooked evidence. I don’t understand why the media are all campaigning for his resignation- that should make us all suspicious.
Good, the country needs stability, not a revolving door of PM’s like the last lot.
Let him face due process if he has done anything wrong, otherwise let him crack on with the job.
There have been a series of failings here but I remain completely unconvinced that going back to the Tory-era revolving door of PMs is the answer. It didn’t serve us well then, it won’t serve us well now. I certainly don’t trust the media’s judgement on this either, given it’s quite obvious where their motives are.
I’ve heard people saying the Uks economy and job market is getting better, is that true?
Good we need stability and he’s dealt with this mess well.
Why is Labour getting more media hate than Reform, whos leader and MPs are mentioned far more times than even Kier himself.
Oh wait the media is owned by the rich and they want to remain in power. How’d i forget that little fact
Just a week ago he was assuring us McSweeney had his full support.
Starmer is Floundering, idk if he goes but hes gonna be much weaker coming out the other end.
If it was Bojo or any previous PMs the call for resignation would be considerably less muted than they are from folks. I have no earthly idea why Starmer is the exception
There’s zero stability in politics anymore. I’m very bored of this constant merry-go-round of PMs we’ve had since Cameron, and the constant back-stabbing everyone does. When you can’t maintain unity in any political parties whatsoever, then how to you expect the country to unite behind anything at all. The only party that is united is Reform, and they’re united by hate! The problem is more and more people become susceptible to that type of messaging when all they see are other parties constantly fighting each other and end up tarring them with the same brush. So they then look for something different.
People are tired of constant turmoil and are looking for stability and this isn’t it.
Considering that every time he has to come out and said he has ‚full confidence‘ in one of his advisors or ministers, they resign shortly after…
I wouldn’t take any full confidence he indicates to have in himself at face value
As much as I’m not a massive Starmer fan it’ll be mad if Eptstein causes his demise and not that of Trump, who appears to be an actual fucking pedo
We don’t need a revolving door of PMs, I think pragmatically we need a stable government and he’s been much better than recent versions. Absolutely there’s a lot of room for improvement, maybe there’s a chance now for a better comms strategy and refocusing
I agree with not resigning over this.
It’s subjective, but my take is that both Starmer is the best Prime Minister in the last 10 years, and that the bar is so low that a traffic cone could be too.
If we set the morality now that a bad appointment is cause for resigning, we have no idea or guarantee when will be the next time that we have a PM who will have the same level of decorum. PM Farage would never resign over corruption, treason, pedophilia rings, country sabotaging, or national asset striping matters.
I’m not sure why, every time someone shit has to resign, it’s treated as a huge personal disaster for Starmer.
When the director of the BBC was forced out by Trump, people acted as though it were the apocalypse, despite the BBC having been a right wing PR platform since David Cameron replaced the board with tory stooges. A change in BBC leadership is drastically needed.
Now, right-wing strategy chief McSweeney, protégé of bizarre right-wing entryist Maurice Glasman and driving force behind most of Starmer’s unpopular or ridiculously partisan actions, has gone.
Also, the head of Labour communications – the department most regularly identified as completely ineffectual – has resigned too.
How is this not just people who are rubbish being weeded out?
Why is him resigning even on the table? Because someone in his cabinet turned out to be dodgy?
If that’s the metric we wouldn’t keep a PM for more than a week in this country. Morality and politicians go hand in hand like tuna and jellybeans. So if we have a PM who seems to be trying to do the right thing, was a human rights lawyer and appears to be clean. We shouldn’t be looking to kick him out because of the pieces of shit he inevitably finds himself surrounded by.
Why is the media not saying anything atall about Farage or Reform???
Utter lunacy if Starmer goes over the Epstein files when the people actually in it seem to be getting a free pass.
It’s insane that he has to keep saying he’s not going to resign over small bumps, and it’s all thanks to the tories throwing people at the pm role to see what worked.
Stop expecting him to resign over bullshit.
Has he ever been upbeat? I mean, even when things are going well?
The comments here are amusing. If he was a Tory or part of Reform, you would all want him gone.
Typical Reddit. Hypocrites.
How about we get King Charles to abdicate for having to „sack“ Andrew?
Good! While I disagree with parts of what the government are doing, we definitely need stability over anything else
So he’s effectively on a political suicide watch now then? Great, marvellous, smashing…just what we need.
Why do all the comments say he shouldn’t resign! He’s shown he has terrible judgement and should not be making major decisions that affect this country if he thinks it is suitable to promote a close friend of a convicted child sex trafficker to a position of diplomatic importance just because they said “trust me bro I wasn’t even good friends with him” when it was already public knowledge that Mandleson was good friends with Epstein. You cannot trust someone to make important decisions on our future if they take everything someone says at face value and disregard any actual evidence.
The Tory’s did it therefore Labour can’t do it is such a dumb reason for allowing the PM to appoint someone he knew was friends with Epstein to a position of power. Grow up.
‚My ‚I will not resign today‘ T-shirt is prompting a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt‘
Wonder if this will be a defining moment for him. Hope so. We need stability and some scandal-free time.
I can only imagine how upbeat he is about all of this
Liz Truss said this less than 24 hours before she resigned.
