Election Year or Fear!

There are said to be massive oil and gas reserves off the Gaza Strip and beneath occupied Palestinian territory.

No one really cares about what voters think seven months into a five year term, that’s just political reality. Do I approve of everything that’s been done since July? No. Do I think it’s been disastrous? No. Does Starmer have more credibility as PM than any of his three or four predecessors. Yes…imo.

Agree. Wasn't it the same for Thatcher early into her 1st term?

Ok Starmer won't get a falklands (i hope), but as time passes and the media obsession with farage fades away support will come back.

I think it's pathetic really the smear campaign against him, the voice coach stuff is really scraping the barrel.

I've said it before, I'm not defending him just because, I am not his biggest fan, I didn't vote for his party, but he's doing ok in challenging times. He's no Blair but he's an improvement over the recent incumbents of no 10

Why is it scraping the barrel? It broke the law. He screamed and hurled abuse across the commons at the opposition.
She was a tier 3 worker , in a tier 4 environment. She isn't even a Labour party worker. Hes a hypocrite and because its him, you're excusing it.
Another lie he's been exposed under, since pre election.

MP Andrew Gwynne sacked by Starmer, and rightly so, for racist, misogynistic and offensive posts wishing pensioners to die.

Reform might have found their next MP.

Stupid is as stupid says. Can’t believe what they think they can get away with sometimes can you? Well done for acting quickly and getting rid of this imbecile.

Agreed, and while my comment about reform was a bit tongue in cheek, you do winder where he will sit out his tenure as an MP. Personally think he should stand down and they hold a by election.

I can't personally see any of the main parties having him.

Be careful what you wish for. I bet Nige is desperate for it

There should be a mechanism for MP's to be sacked in this sort of situation where they have been disowned by their parties and a bye election forced. His party doesn't want him and he has put his position into disrepute. He could of course stand as an independent if his constituents still want him, but at the moment he is a lame duck for 4 years...

Completely agree. A ‘lame duck’ on a bloody good tax payer funded salary!

He's been sacked from his Sec of state job but... has he had the whip taken away as well? Not read anything on that, just that he's not sec of stats any longer,

Sacked from post, suspended with maybe more to follow depending on investigation into his Whatapp group as I understand it, MA.
