The Political Future of Sir Keir Starmer - Update

 

BBC News: Reports the following, " Surveying the scale of Labour's disastrous elections performance, the number of Labour MPs saying publicly that Sir Keir Starmer should resign or attach a sell-by date to his premiership had passed 20 by late Friday evening. 

Let's Get Real:

Yesterday was a disaster for the Labour Party, the problem is Sir Keir, he is loathed within the Country, that is why REFORM did well, also Starmer is very pro EU, he wants the UK closer to the EU.  The Labour Party is very tribal, from the soft left to those on the right, neither side wants the candidate supporting the other to lead.  Thus no one has placed their heads above trenches to challenge Starmer.  The PM is a firm supporter of the Ukraine, this blog does not trust the mentioned candidates on the issue.  Thus Sir Keir will survive for now, bringing back yesterday's politicians is not a good idea, shows Starmer is out of ideas and does not understand the problem, its him!!

Update:Reports in its 4.54pm post below. A backbencher, Catherine West will put her name forward on Monday if no Cabinet Minister stands.  A hail Mary pass here, doubts it will be successful, RMS Starmer is heading towards that Iceberg in 2028/9.  The end of Labour?

Ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia - Update

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, "

Let's Get Real:

While the World's attention has been on the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East, the WAR that could lead WW3 has been on going, Russia hitting the Ukraine with Drones and missiles, with no concern towards innocent casualties, and the Ukraine pushing the Russians back in the Donbas.  The Russians only want a ceasefire as on May 9th they celebrate their win over Nazi Germany, the grander ceremonies of the past have been replaced with just soldiers due to the worry that the Ukraine would attack any tanks on the parade.  Also reported Putin is afraid of assassination or a coup from his own side.  That is the problem if your tyrant.

More US Strikes in Strait of Hormuz- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.34pm the following, " US jet fires on two oil tankers heading for Iran - as new clashes reported in Strait of Hormuz 

Let's Get Real:

Thus more strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, both sides will blame the other.  Two Iranian tankers trying to make Iranian ports and thwart the American blockade of Iran.  The US is still waiting for the Tehran response to their peace proposal.  Why the delay, very fishy or Tehran is playing games and are trying to place pressure on a very erratic US President.  That is not a good idea with Trump's fingers on the trigger.

Iran wont bow to pressure - Iranian Foreign Minister

Guardian: Reports in its 12.14pm post the following, " Iran's foreign minister: 'Iranians never bow to pressure' "

Let's Get Real:

The Tehran Regime is taking its time to reply to the US peace proposal, YES, NO or Yes But does not take days.  Trump has shown that he is a chicken who never follows through.  IS the Iranian Regime seeking more concessions when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz or their nuclear stockpile.  Trump needs a public win, anything else would be a humiliation before the Mid Terms and the start of 2028 Presidential cycle. The Tehran Regime should not over play their hand.

Defensive Action by the US - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.32pm post the following, " US conducted 'defensive' strikes against at least two locations in Iran, American official says

Let's Get Real:

The US waiting for Iran's response to its latest peace plan, thus every action by Iran is seen as a skirmish in the words of Trump.  The Trump Oval wants out of the War before Trump's visit to China and the Mid Terms.  The price of gas has gone up and inflation is making harder for Americans to pay their bills.  The Democrats are using affordability against the Trump Oval, thus a weak Trump wants out of the War.

Explosions in Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 10.16pm post the following, " Iranian state media says explosions in multiple Iranian cities "

Let's Get Real:

The US is calling the action defensive, POTUS is desperate to end the WAR he started, he needs a clear victory.  The main points are that the Strait of Hormuz has to be clear for oil tankers and Iran has to give up its nuclear stockpile.  Anything less would be a PR disaster for Trump before the Mid Terms in November.
