I understand why there’s a lot of people hoping Starmer is done for good, but man, even with all the drama going on, I’d still prefer him over Farage.

Gosh, who could imagine that appointing a massively corrupt scumbag like Peter Mandelson just because you value attacking the left over governing could blow up in your face like that?
Happy Friday.

Just wait until the world realises that Britain now possesses the ultimate superweapon.
Keir Starmer just has to publicly announce something has his full confidence and support, and less than 24 hours later it’s utterly destroyed.

How many people has he said he has ‘confidence’ in so far? I’m beginning to think he needs a new dictionary.

This is just Starmer trying to shift the blame.
McSweeney is just an advisor, same as Dominic Cummings was.
Advisors just advise, it’s the elected Ministers who decide.
In this case, the civil servants in the Foreign Office would have advised the Foreign Secretary (Lammy) to choose someone from the neutral career diplomatic corps for Ambassador to the US. McSweeney allegedly advised to choose Mandelson.
The decision which advice to take would have been made by Lammy and Starmer.

How much longer is this going to last? Are they going to keep sacking a person every few days until nobody is left?

Hasn’t everyone Keiths said this about been sacked or resigned?

No1 has confidence in Starmer though, so pointless statement.

Starmer isn’t going to last to the end of the year at this rate

The classic British politics cry of ‘nothing wrong here, everything’s alright and no one is resigning or being sacked’.
Only for the scrote in question to resign or get booted with the usual ‘I did nothing wrong’ statement.
I’m so bored of this circus.
Everyone is so fucking innocent.

On current form this means McSweeney will be gone by Monday

Everyone in this Labour Government right nowt “Please Starmer, for the love of god, don’t say you have confidence in me”

The fact that he even gave the go ahead to hire Mandelson is insane to begin with.
Considering everything Mandelson has done over the decades, to even consider him was an insane decision and shows how little backbone and savvy Starmer has.

*checks watch* does anyone have 7pm in the betting pool?

That’s the kiss of Death when Starmer says he has full confidence in you.

So I guess that means McSweeney’s getting the sack on Monday?

Most governments wait a few years or after another term before getting involved in scandals or corruption. This Labour government is speed running.

Mandelson was appointed because he could easily slime up to Trump. It was a pragmatic appointment that has backfired and made long before the Epstein affairs blew up again.
Mandelson had to go but FFS firing the people who had a part in giving him the job is ridiculous.

I mean, McSweeney is basically the PM really?
If McSweeney goes, is it over for Keir?
