As Keir hangs on by his fingernails to his Premiership, much like Nixon and Thatcher, the public has made it clear that he does not have the skill sets, let alone the charisma, to be Prime Minister. The May 7th elections showed that the Prime Minister is catastrophically unpopular, from John o’ Groats to Land’s End. Steve Reid and other cabinet ministers, as well as other MPs, protestations that removing Keir would be disastrous for the country at the time of global unrest, and the negative impact of his departure would have on bond markets.
Firstly, his contribution to calming the current global chaos is exaggerated. You can’t use our bases, then you can use our bases. The PM takes credit for setting up the coalition of “doing very little” and a defence review that has been a long time in the making. He also says he wants to rebuild our relationship with the EU. He seems to be doing this under the cover of darkness, by not mentioning the S&M and C&U words, the single market, and the customs union. Once again, he shows no leadership or selling skills on this issue, especially when recent polling shows that 60% of the UK electorate would be willing to re-join the EU. His smash the gangs strategy has been no more impactful than the stop the boats strategy. Regarding the bond market, yes, the bond market is screwing us at the moment, but what they “really, really want” is a vision and a road map that digs Britain out of its slow decline. This is also the Human Rights Prime Minister who further reduced the UK’s global standing by cutting another £5.0 billion out of the overseas development budget, which had already been reduced from 0.07% of GDP TO 0.05% by his multi-millionaire predecessor, Rishi Sunak.
He said he was going to nationalise British Steel. Was it not on 12 April 2025 that Parliament passed the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act 2025, giving the Secretary of State powers to issue directions to or take control of steel in England? Is this not in effect nationalisation?
A new Prime Minister must focus on a radical public policy agenda based on social cohesion, which must include a tax and redistribution agenda. Keir is deluded if he thinks he can hold on to the job, and as the Borg would say, “resistance is futile”. If he wants a modicum of recognition for his stint as PM, he must act as he has often said, in the ‘national interest’ and resign. If he fails to do this, supported by some equally deluded Labour MPs, it seems he doesn’t give a toss about the national interest or, for that matter, the future electability of Labour as a national party.
Finally, a bit of advice to Victoria, you could not get him to call out the carnage in Gaza as genocide, but you should look to the late Denise Thatcher, not Jill Biden, for a bit of on guidance about when your spouse can’t see the writing on the wall.
