'Wings Over TalkHearts' Politics Thread

Dominoes starting to fall rapidly now. Looks to be more when than if

[Del-icious]

Rayner seems to be the bookies favourite which seems fucking mental considering she left with her own scandal only recently.

Has to be Burnham going into the election imo, whether that's this appointment or not

[Zizou]

It's quite mad that so many beasts are getting away with this and it's British politicians falling on their sword

It can't be Burnham as he isn't an MP. Rayner obviously has her issues but I don't think it's a bad shout. Although foreign affairs wise that doesn't seem like the best fit.

See if it's Wes Streeting

you don't strictly need to be an MP to be PM. Certainly there were non-MPs in recent tory cabinets.

Maybe if the “friends of paedos” adjacent wing of labour stopped their nonsense then Burnham could stand as an MP which he was planning on doing before being blocked

It’s coming out now Rayner encouraged Starmer not to give Mandelson a job - pieing off your DPM to do whatever mcsweeny wants

Streeting comes from this brand of Labour too, is there not comms from him speaking about Mandelson very positively? These cunts absolutely killed the left of the party, delivered the tories through internal sabotage and turns out they were all being played like a fiddle from forces above. There’s no way an intelligent man like Starmer didn’t see the potential fall out from getting behind Mandelson so I would be curious to know what pressure was put on him to offer the job of US ambassador.

Sarwar is about to ask for Starmer to step down

Would be surprised if he sees the week out.

Starmer has always been an intelligence services operative. Going back to his time as head of CPS. Stooge.

Streeting gives out 'just shit in ma mouth' vibes. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Whoever comes in will be pretty shit as there's no talent evident, the economy is pants anyway and they'll lose the (perception) of a popular mandate. General election next year with reform forming an alliance with the tories.

I have been wondering for a while if Reform is an Mi5 Psy-Op to keep Elon Musk/Steve Bannon/Israeli projects fronted by Tommy Robinson and EDL marginalised within the UK political landscape.

Basically Reform UK is a reboot of the Tory party but positioned further right wing without the Tory sleaze baggage and toff imagery - this allows state corporatists to profit further through mass privatisation and the UK state security is also secured as they politically out-manouvre fascist revolutionary forces.

The Reform project might've been set up with Farage put in situ to cosplay fascism so the British state can be the ones in control of any populist fascistic uprising.

Have heard from more than one person that Streeting is an animal on the booze. Quitegood imo but there will be skeletons waiting to come out.
