BBC News: Reports in its 10.07am post the following, " Starmer says he 'will stand' in any Labour leadership contest "
Let's Get Real:
Thus the clock starts, will Starmer fight in his bunker or go with grace? So far enjoy the popcorn, it looks like a fight between Starmer, Burnham and Streeting. When will the candidates fire the gun to start the race, next week when Burnham officially becomes an MP or will someone jump the queue? We shall see.
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.
Sky News: Reports in its 3.30pm post the following, " Top cabinet minister said Labour MPs were asking 'who can we tax to pay benefits to others' "
Let's Get Real:
Lord Peter Mandelson, the Dark Prince has been a disaster for Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Government, his unsavory, a friendship with sexual trafficker has shown how much a disaster was the choice to make him the UK's Ambassador to the US. The release of his contacts with the Labour Government Ministers, has shown a low opinion of the PM and shown that Labour just wants to tax people to pay for welfare. This means to hell with the working class, once the bedrock of Labour. The UK needs a General Election and fast, it won't happen as Labour MP's know their careers would come to an end. Who can save Labour NOW, will it be Andy or Wes, we shall see after the by election in Makerfield on June 18th.
Daily Mail: ( Hard Copy ) Reports that Sir Tony Blair is highly critical of the Starmer Government. The former PM states that Britain is heading towards relegation and Labour has gone to its comfort zone on the left and is to anti business, and hikes taxes to support welfare.
Let's Get Real:
The Labour Party won't listen to a very successful Labour PM and leader. The Party has gone left, it feels morally superior to everyone else. They will never cut welfare as Labour members are to left wing, also we have an unofficial Leadership contest going on. Starmer in political terms is a dodo, whistling pass the political graveyard. Wes Streeting is seen as to much of Blair supporter, why Andy Burnham if he wins Makerfield by election is seen as best suited by Labour members. They won't listen to Blair after Iraq.
Guardian: Reports in its 10.54am post the following, " Hope is in the air,' says Burnham at campaign launch.......British politics is tired. It needs a new script. And over the next four weeks, the people of Makerfield are going to write that script.”
Let's Get Real:
This does remind one of Tony Blair and New Labour. A dirty word these days in Labour circles. The one memory one has of Tony Blair is the IRAQ WAR, one hopes that Burnham is not offering a rehash of New Labour under new management. The voters of Makerfield deserve better, what are the problems in the area, it can't just be about Burnham ambition to be PM.
