In a totally disingenuous speech today outside 10 Downing Street, showing just how delusional, insular and tone-deaf he is, he said he’s going — nominations within his party for his replacement open on 7 July and the process will be complete ‘by the summer recess.’

Clearly he’s been told forcefully that he is a disaster and must go, but for only his party’s showing in the polls: his cronies probably have the same policy beliefs as he does.

Just as Comrade Jacinda’s destructive legacy is still with us in NZ after more than 3 years, Starmer’s will be with Brits for a long time.
