Starmer could be on way out – Sky News

Keir Starmer news

The Labour Party is demoralized and in “despair” just a year after taking power, the outlet has reported.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could be ousted by next May if his Labour Party continues to perform poorly, Sky News has reported.

Labour lost ground to Reform UK in local elections in May, after the ruling party experienced a plunge in public support.

The prime minister could lose his position if Labour performs badly in the next vote across Wales, Scotland and London, Sky News reported on Thursday, citing two senior Labour MPs.

“I am hearing from ministers in government that Starmer might have to go in months,” the outlet’s deputy political editor Sam Coates said, describing “unhappiness and despair” in the Labour Party.

A day earlier, a controversial welfare bill proposed by the government passed in a watered-down form, after a number of Labour MPs rebelled against proposed cuts to social benefits.

This latest U-turn undermined the prime minister’s authority after a series of similar flip-flops in June, the BBC wrote on Wednesday.

Last month, Starmer bowed to pressure and ordered a national inquiry into the police handling of the massive Pakistani grooming gangs sex abuse scandal. Just months before, his administration had insisted the prior seven-year investigation into decades of systematic rape of young, vulnerable girls in the UK had been sufficient.

Labour had been under mounting public pressure to backtrack on the issue, after the simmering scandal was thrust back into the spotlight early this year by tech mogul Elon Musk.

Starmer’s public approval has taken a nose dive, with 73% of UK adults unsatisfied with his performance, the Independent wrote on Thursday, citing an Ipsos survey concluded in June. Less than a fifth of respondents were satisfied with his tenure, the poll suggests.

According to Ipsos, this is the lowest score ever recorded by the polling company for a prime minister’s first year performance.

  1. Maybe he can move to Boston and give some speeches, maybe write a book or two?…suffice to say, “good riddance”………

  2. Notice how the Media never want to discuss the real reason for Starmer’s unpopularity – his allegiance to Israel that got him elected as party leader. Lot of Brit traditional Labour folks were not too pleased with the way Corbyn was ousted.

  3. Can’t happen soon enough…
    Replace with Nigel Farage & his Reform UK Party.
    Then, boot the Zionists Banksters & Financiers OUT of the ‘City of London!!

  4. If anyone believes a change of PM will return the UK to the days of prosperity and righteousness, it just won’t happen. The whole party must be thrown out. Is that even possible when these thugs have voting rights.

    The total removal of all boat people from the UK and return to wherever they came from. This is too hard a task for the woke police alone to deal with. They will not go peacefully. They will resort with deadly force. It may even require US intervention and logistics.

    So great is the problem it may require cargo ships with containers and the military. Effectively prison ships. It must be done.

    Fortunately, NZ is far to risky to travel here by small craft. Its the circling current and unpredictable weather.

    On the matter of a pending war with Russia. It simply cannot be won. All military scenarios result in conventional weapons until the only option is nuclear. NATO was and is the provoker. You simply dont’t park yourself on the border with Russia and expect no response. The deal between Russia and the US is the best outcome.
