It up to Sir Starmer if he runs again - Culture Secretary- Update

BBC News: Reports the following, "   It is a "personal decision" for Sir Keir Starmer whether he chooses to fight any potential leadership contest, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has said."

Let's Get Real:

Nandy is a Burnham fan but wants to appear loyal to the PM, thus the decision for the PM to resign is up to him.  The Culture Secretary said it was odd to bring rejoining the EU up as Streeting did in his speech.  In the by - election, the local council has just gone REFORM, Streeting has implied that the UK woes started after the UK left the EU in 2016, voters have other ideas.  Thus far the PM has been very quiet since last week.

Save Labour - Andy Burnham- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.44pm post the following, " Burnham seeking to return to parliament to 'save' Labour  " 

Let's Get Real

What arrogance from the King of the North, does even care about the SEAT he is fighting for, the good voters of the seat, will want an MP who cares about pot holes, lack of affordable houses, the poor state council houses.  Andy gives the impression it is about him and his ambition.  The Reform should have a good chance in the Seat, talk about local issues and keeping out of the EU.

Wes Streeting to stand in any contest - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.39pm post the following, "  Wes Streeting says he will stand in potential leadership contest " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus the unofficial race for the Labour Leadership has began.   The other candidates should be Andy Burnham and Angela Rayner.  One starts to feel sorry for Sir Keir, nice man but unfit to be PM.  So when will the official race start, well if Burnham wins in Manchester it should be June, all Labour polls show Burnham winning over Starmer and Streeting, so what does Starmer do, enter a race he will lose, or wait to see if Burnham wins in Manchester, in the local council elections the Seat went to Reform.  Thus the UK and the Labour Party will have months of an unofficial campaign and an official one in June, should Burnham win, that Seat.  If Starmer had any dignity he would announce his resignation and say it would be effective from the Labour Conference.  Thus give Burnham time to run and win against Streeting.  Or the PM could wait for the by-election and hope Burnham loses to Reform and polls showing his winning over Streeting, endless fun for political reporters and bloggers like this blog.

US could take Iran's nuclear stockpile - Trump

Fox News: Reports the following in a post " Trump suggests US could enter Iran over nuclear dust removal dispute "

Let's Get Real:

As the post notes that Trump has threatened this before, as always with Trump he chickens out.  It would take thousands of troops and equipment to get the nuclear dust as Trump calls it, the Tehran Regime would never agree, this would lead to a major ground conflict.  Thus are we seeing another weak THREAT from the Trump Oval.

More DEATHS in the Ukraine - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.11pm post the following, " Kyiv, Lviv declare day of mourning after 24 killed in Russian strikes on capital "

Let's Get Real:

On the Ukraine this blog does trust Sir Keir Starmer, one does not know how the Labour Candidates feel about the WAR.  The Ukraine War is the WAR that if it goes wrong could lead to WW3.  While the World's attention has been on other events, Russia has carried on with its bombing of the Ukraine, the deaths and destruction is taking its toll on the poor people, they carry on with their resistance to Russia.

China does not want a nuclear Iran - Trump

Sky News: Reports in its 5.11am post the following, " Trump: US and China 'feel very similar' about Iran war - and have 'settled a lot' during state visit " 

Let's Get Real:

This blog does not trust China whatever they say to POTUS.  China view policy over decades, not the 24 hour news cycle.  They are not a democracy, they are Communist controlled, they control everything going on in China, they cannot be trusted.  Proof is in the budding, what China actually does that counts.

China - Iran - Trump's visit to China- Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.56am post the following, " Trump says China will withhold equipment from Iran " 

Let's Get Real:

This State Visit by President Trump will be described by him as a successful if China really means that it won't help Tehran with military equipment, and will be helpful over the Strait of Hormuz blockade.  POTUS is not a detailed man, let's see what China actually does!
