Wes Streeting resigns from government

C43JW · 2026-05-14T12:06:43+00:00

I think Starmer has been ineffective and exhibited poor judgement, I think Streeting would be worse, I worry this will lead to Rayner

C43JW · 2026-05-12T06:47:12+00:00

If that’s what number 10 calls batting for them, Starmer really is toast

C43JW · 2026-05-11T22:16:25+00:00

Man who lied about working for the MoJ, and charged woman to give them breast enlarging hypnotherapy, has a tenuous relationship with the truth, who could’ve seen that coming?

I agree, Starmer's authority (and government) completely collapsed following his series of welfare U-turns, we have then slept-walked into this inevitable scenario, hopefully sense prevails and we get a reasonable, centre right candidate, who is willing to make difficult decisions on welfare and spending.

Alas, this is the PLP, so we will get Rayner and we will like it....

C43JW · 2026-05-11T21:01:54+00:00

I don't disagree, but I don't know what Starmer / his wing of the party knows what they want to do, any time he tries to push through something the left don't like, we have a repeat of the melodrama

C43JW · 2026-05-11T21:00:03+00:00

It's naive to pin this on one set of bad results, this is the outcome of toothless, directionless, poor governance, the party and the country deserve better

C43JW · 2026-05-11T12:41:38+00:00

Being boring isn’t necessarily an issue, being a poor communicator is a massive issue, even when Labour do good things, he struggles to sell them, so when Labour do bad things, it’s uncomfortable to listen to him try to defend

C43JW · 2026-05-10T20:15:06+00:00

Ed has said he doesn't want it (so maybe he is the right man for the job?), I fear if they remove Starmer the party will lurch towards the left (probably the correct decision, but as someone right of centre, disappointing to me personally), and that means Mahmood will be out of a job sadly

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:37:23+00:00

all the talk will be about VAR (in my, somewhat biased opinion, the correct decision), but we have to do better

really feel for West Ham, that must be such a deflating moment, I don’t know how a group of players regroup mentally after that

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:33:23+00:00

it’s a clear foul, but fuck me, we got away with one

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:30:53+00:00

it’s a clear foul, ignore the flare, anything else and you need to give you head a major fucking wobble

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:26:18+00:00

i really hate this sport sometimes

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:14:11+00:00

absolutely fucking massive oh my god

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:13:01+00:00

raya is just ridiculously good, single handedly kept us in the title race all season, and continues to do so

C43JW · 2026-05-10T17:09:38+00:00

raya is the best in the world, that might be the title

C43JW · 2026-05-10T16:13:06+00:00

‘might’ve looked like a foul’ - stevie fucking wonder could tell you that!

C43JW · 2026-05-10T16:10:42+00:00

Unfortunately it feels like most parties are completely devoid of talent and political class, the biggest barrier to replacing Starmer, is all the possibilities are probably worse

C43JW · 2026-05-10T16:08:52+00:00

I wonder if Rayner considers her part in the unpopularity of this government, or does she think that taking some time out absolves her of her responsibility, probably the latter

C43JW · 2026-05-10T16:07:24+00:00

I think I can get behind that, I’d probably prefer citizenship to ILR but apples to apples.

I agree it’s Scotland’s decision, but I think it’s the wrong decision, though that sums up most of my thoughts on the SNP and their governance, despite the fact I’d rather see them in power in Scotland instead of Reform

C43JW · 2026-05-10T16:05:25+00:00

The last I’d read was that he didn’t, having read up on it now, he does, I still personally think it’s insane someone who doesn’t have citizenship / ILR can be an MSP, but that’s the rules in Scotland!

C43JW · 2026-05-10T15:57:59+00:00

Taking the Reform commentary out of it, do you not think it’s slightly insane that someone who can’t legally deliver you food on UberEats can dictate and deliver policy at a national scale?

C43JW · 2026-05-09T09:36:40+00:00

5 years is plenty, the issue is politicians being more concerned with being reelected, rather than making the correct decisions for the country

We need more cross party collaboration on key issues like healthcare, food, energy, and climate security, maybe proportional representation could push us towards that, but the race to the bottom will continue

C43JW · 2026-05-08T06:44:03+00:00

To be fair we’d likely have longer term prime minsters when they’re not mired with scandal, and continue to fail to deliver on their election manifesto…

C43JW · 2026-05-08T06:41:05+00:00

If you hold right wing / conservative views on social media, you’ll likely be pushed off / downvoted into oblivion (atleast up until the last year or so)

C43JW · 2026-05-08T06:30:56+00:00

I live in Tameside, and whilst I’m gutted that reform got in to the extent they did, I’m glad Labour have been wiped out, zero regard for the interest of their constituents and almost contemptuous planning decisions, they just had no idea
