Burnham for Change - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.30pm post the following, " Burnham says he wants to ensure Makerfield byelection 'changes British politics', in eve-of-poll speech to supporters 

Let's Get Real:

What Burnham wants is to win Makerfield and become PM.  The chief selling point for Burnham is he will replace Sir Keir Starmer, the most disliked PM in the history of polls.  The UK voters have had enough of the Starmer u-turns, 15 or 16 at the last count, no charisma.  Burnham can promise the earth, economic reality has a way of showing political promises are worthless.  Thus a new era with Burnham on Friday, if he wins Makerfield.

The Question of Lebanon and the US - Iran Deal - Update

BBC News:  Reports in its 2.38pm post the following, " Unclear if Lebanon included in deal as Israel launches more strikes 

Let's Get Real:

Lebanon is in the latest leaked 14 points, Israel should leave Lebanon.  The Israeli Government has made it clear it is not leaving, and will stay in its security zones, Trump can not afford to cross the Israeli lobby before the Mid Terms in November, the Israel supporters in the Republican Party will stand up for Israel.  Trump has said the deal is not final if he is not happy with the final result, this shows how erratic and delusional Trump is at the moment.

Makerfield by election - Support the right candidate - Update


The VOTERS in the Makerfield seat have two clear choices and one candidate to vote for tomorrow

Andy Burnham or the Reform Candidate.

If you elect Burnham he will finish off Sir Keir Starmer.

If you vote Reform, you will finish Labour off in 2028/29 but we will still have Sir Keir as PM.

Thus one choice: Vote Burnham and tell your friends it is for the good of the COUNTRY.



The US - Iran Deal - Appeasement - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.44am post the following, " Here are the 14 points reportedly forming the US-Iran memorandum of understanding "

Let's Get Real:

If you want to read what Appeasement looks like, just read the 14 points.  It was written in Tehran.  An investment fund of 300 billion, the ending of the war in Lebanon, ending of sanctions on Iran, respect the internal sovereignty of Iran.  NO wonder the deal is hated in Israel, its worse than Munich 1938.  ONE hopes the Hawks in the US take the deal apart.  The US cannot order Israel around, it is also a nuclear power. On the plus side for the Strait of Hormuz is to open, but no mention of the nuclear stockpile, just Iran saying it does not want a NUKE, Tehran will never give up its nuclear stockpile.
