Burnham not for rejoining the EU - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.02pm the following post, " Burnham: Brexit 'has been damaging' - but I'm not in favour of rejoining "

Let's Get Real:

The Labour psycho drama goes on, Burnham is running in a REFORM Manchester Seat and has to get elected first if he wants to challenge Sir Keir Starmer.   The Labour Leader is not making it easy, he has stated he is not leaving No 10.  The Burnham EU comments are in sharp contrast to Wes Streeting who wants to rejoin the EU, thus is the view of a vast majority of Labour members.  The papers are having a field day with this unofficial race.

TACO President Trump and Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports "  US President Donald Trump has said he is holding off a military attack on Iran planned for Tuesday at the request of Gulf states as "serious negotiations are now taking place". "

Let's Get Real:

No wonder the Money Markets call TRUMP a TACO President, Trump Always Chickens Out, he has made threats to Iran before but always chickens out.  A strong POTUS always follows through, Trump never does.  Tehran can play this game till the crows come home.  The President has placed the US military on a hair trigger to attack Iran, he will never do it, he is desperate to get out of the WAR before the Mid Terms in November.  Trump the chicken should be his new nickname.

Iran and the Situation Room - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump to convene Situation Room meeting on potential Iran military options: report "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval must finish the Iran War before the Democrats invoke the War Powers Act to restrict his actions.  Tehran is playing the US with the peace process and ceasefire, they attacked a nuclear plant in Abu Dhabi with a drone, there was no release of radiation from the site.  Trump cannot TACO again, his hardly there Presidential Credibility will be gone, if not gone already.

Iran Drone strike on nuclear plant - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.30am post the following, " Fire at Abu Dhabi nuclear plant caused by 'drone strike' "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime wants to toughen it out, hitting a nuclear plant is very risky and dangerous.  The post reports that no radiation was released, TRUMP must ACT, this is not another TACO moment, Trump and Israel have to take OUT the Iranian threat, history does not praise appeasers, bold action is needed.  POTUS should follow the example of JFK and Reagan, action over words.

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.
