I think that much of the UK neoliberal centre-right attention whoring news media have propped up the Reform Party in recent years and have been overly critical of Starmer and Labour. The same kind of dishonest hype that made Brexit possible is killing the UK Labour Party. The way wealthy special interest news media in the UK has been building opposition to Labour is almost criminal. The next PM should get the country to join the EU before he or she is also assassinated by the wealthy special interest groups' news media.

Isn't Burnham (probable next PM) quite similar to Starmer politically? The differences from what I have been reading is he's less boring and more down to earth/close to common people. Maybe that's what UK needs in the time of social media, Starmer was too cold/detached for being popular.

Starmer isn't very popular for various reasons, though he and his cabinet have done rather well considering the horrible economy they were given. I think he has allowed himself to be bullied by the wrong people. I doubt Burnham can create a better government, but he's at least got more public support than Starmer. Sadly, populist leaders given so much more media attention, which is how the UK news media helped promote Burnham. Having seen Burnham run from the news media the other day, I worry that he doesn't have the balls to do any better than Starmer and will thereby help Reform gain popularity when the general public again don't have everything they want immediately. Economic improvements everyone knew when Starmer was elected would take years to recognise.

Left and Right don't matter.

wealthy special interest[s]

...is who's deciding what's what.

The next PM should get the country to join the EU

More centralized control is NEVER the answer. Autonomy is.

Centralization = more corruption, without exception.

The EU is not elected and not accountable, except to the wealthy special interest banksters.

Political Theatre 101: Fake Emotions.

"Sir Keir Starmer" - what kind of name is that?
Seems like an anagram puzzle.

"Labour Party" - can they really still call it that when it's barely a twisted shadow of it founding principles?

The "parties" and "representatives" are the systemic problem.
