Mere 2% bounce for Labour under Andy Burnham - Update

Daily Mail: Reports that the Labour has only gained 2% in the polls since the expected Coronation of Andy Burnham as PM, a YouGov poll found Reform on 20%, Conservative on 20% and Labour on 20%.

Let's Get Real:

Thus there will be no quick election, Burnham will never risk losing so many Labour backbencher MPs, only got the job as PM because Labour MPs fear losing under under Sir Keir Starmer.  Thus Opposition Parties will have to wait in till 2029/30.  If WW3 does not break out before that due to the Ukraine War, and Putin on the backfoot in the Ukraine.  There is always the erratic President in the White House, you never know with Trump!

MOD wanted 28 Billion, PM Starmer gives them 15 Billion - Defence Update

BBC News: Reports 11.02am post the following, " Almost £80bn on defence per year by 2029, Starmer says "

Let's Get Real:

The MOD wanted 28 billion in case Putin's Russia does something in the Baltic States or Poland, to draw attention away from fuel shortages due to the STRIKES from the Ukraine and the War in the Ukraine not going well. PUTIN is on the backfoot, he needs to make sure the people support and not demand his head, as was the case of Tsar Nicholas II.   As in 1905, and loss of Port Arthur lead calls for reform, the same could happen to Putin.  Thus the UK's MOD needs the money from the future PM Burnham.
