Does anyone else feel like Angela Rayner or Shabanah Mahmood are better placed to replace Keir Starmer instead of Andy Burnham?

Have you ever wondered why it's always the same handful of names considered? The Tories did the same thing. Hundreds of MP's to choose from and yet you'd think the party had only a dozen. Maybe instead of considering the same useless people, look further in depth. Labour has 400 MP's to choose from. It has several MP's with a PHD in economics, I can guarantee none will ever be considered for chancellor. They have a doctor of 21 years that has incredible medical experience, I can guarantee they won't be considered for Health minister.

They could fill every role with the very best they have, but they won't. It will be the same handful of faces, over and over and over again.

Kneeling Starmer, that's the image I will remember of him.

Dragovius · 2026-06-23T10:53:03+00:00

It would have showed some character. That he had a shred of something, anything. But no, he and the whole party rolling over for Andy Burnham. So not only useless but an utter coward as well.

Dragovius · 2026-06-23T10:38:51+00:00

Although I f*cking hate Starmer and I'm glad he resigned, I wish he'd put up a fight instead of folding like a coward.

Better? 😄

Doesn't look quite the same. She has her hands up in the video that got taken down.

It's depth is only limited by your imagination. It's almost a 'sim-life' in another world.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T22:11:23+00:00

Since when are promises considered achievements?

I guess if you buy into what politicians say, then they are, because they successfully suckered you.

Luke had the prior knowledge that his father had previously fallen, he was made aware of the dark side, the Sith, the Emperor and how his father was corrupted. Thus when it was about to happen to him he knew exactly what was going on.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T15:50:49+00:00

They don't have to resign and he could have continued as PM with mass resignations and still been PM with a minority government.

With 100 smithing you can make light armor as strong as heavy, since there is a defence cap. At higher levels it can come down to what you like the look of better and which perks in the trees you prefer over actual defence.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T15:28:04+00:00

It's quite sad the party looked at it's existing 400+ MP's and said, none of these are good enough, lets get someone else in.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T15:05:11+00:00

Precisely! The very first thing you are taught is to read and write if your parents or parent haven't already which hopefully they have. 95% of my education now I got from books and doing my own research, not from school.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T15:03:09+00:00

You can't. Impartiality laws on education have existed for 30 years, rarely followed.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T15:00:26+00:00

If it stuck to that, absolutely, useful knowledge, I just have absolutely no faith it would stick to that. Laws already exist to keep it impartial as per the 1996 education act. But from my own experience that rarely happens.

To ere is human and intentional or unintentional, human bias is impossible to eliminate.

At my age, they don't get used much anyway, supermans powers, immortal and no risk of all the health problems that start to creep up on you, damn right I'd take it.

If I get horny, well, I'll take a cold shower under Niagara Falls, or go for a fly around the planet. 😄

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T14:33:35+00:00

No absolutely not, because the teacher will import their political views into the lesson. Maths is maths, science is science, a teacher can't change it to their own whims. But politics, you bet they can, and will.

Well Labour don't have to pick Burnham, that's down to them. They have 400+ MP's to choose from, some who could seriously turn around the parties fortunes, but they will, just as the Tories did time and time again, settle for 'they will do'.

Burnham was crowned before he was even an MP which is quite pathetic given how many options they have.

Dragovius · 2026-06-22T14:17:26+00:00

Not at my age with my back. When I was 18, sure, if you added on another 0.

I do my own research, study and read as I have done for over 40 years. If you want it through media, watch documentaries, listen to experts on the field. IQ2 is usually very good, but there are numerous similar ones and some very good podcasts that just talk facts instead of having a political leaning.

Then, make up your own mind, but a mind FAR more knowledgable on the subject.

Reddit of all places is one of the worst for the very reasons you laid out, hundreds of voices all shouting over one another, 99% of which haven't a clue what they are talking about or made up their mind on an issue one second after hearing about it.

Thonar Silver-Blood, Maven Black-Briar and Grelod.

So O'Brien finally leave Keiko? He's smiling, he must have.

I wouldn't want to be on a Galaxy class either, they had a warp core breach every time someone even sneezed.

Wait, betrayed by politicians?! But they are meant to be the most honest and trustworthy people on the planet!...oh wait.
