Starmer Time: Countdown to the May 7 British Local Elections

I realise this is going to be hard to believe, but it seems that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's ingenious, devious plan to hotfoot it over to the Persian Gulf and snatch credit and glory away from Trump for the Iran conflict ceasefire has fallen a bit...um...well, flat.

Okay. That's an understatement, and I was trying to be kind because I would like to visit our son there one of these days and not have to sweat being arrested at the baggage carousel at Heathrow.

The man has faceplanted epically yet again.

Every last soul on the island, including the latest thirty North Africans who just got off a dinghy on a Dover beach and don't speak a word of English, saw through these pathetic, posturing performances like they were scripted on onion paper.

KEIR STARMER'S PATTING HIMSELF ON THE BACK FOR A CEASEFIRE HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH

“I mean no one’s taking him seriously.. Putin just sailed a warship through the channel escorting sanctioned Russian oil tankers because he knows Keir Starmer’s going to do nothing about it.. so there’s that…” lol

It turns out that Starmer took off to Spain for a holiday while Trump was threatening obliteration.

But when he got back, oh, boy - did he jump into action, rallying the troops in the region.

That wasn't even manipulated. The ones that have been are brutal.

You know what else was brutal?

The statement issued by the Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi. 

YOWSAHS

...Only an end to this regime - that brings terror to Britain’s own shores - will yield lasting peace and regional stability. Keir Starmer should follow in the footsteps of Churchill, not Chamberlain. He should support the Iranian people’s fight for liberty.

The Iranian people will remember who stood with them in their hour of need and who stood against them. There is still time for the Government to change course: prosecute the IRGC that slaughters innocents, expel the illegitimate regime's ambassador, and act to support the people of Iran.

THE UK HAS ENDLESSLY APPEASED THE CRIMINAL REGIME IN IRAN

There's no 'we' in there for the craven Starmer and the UK, just unadulterated truth bombs.

Speaking of bombing, that looks to be a theme with Keir Starmer going into these May 7 local elections, the very ones he tried so hard to cancel or postpone.

Those he hasn't managed to disrupt are still on the schedule, and if the polling holds up right now, it looks as if Labour is set to lose - and I can hardly believe this number myself - nearly TWO THOUSAND (!!!) local councillors, the very bread and butter of party power.

After Starmer has been PM for only two years, the wanker is fixin' to get his party whacked in a bloodbath shellacking.

Two thirds of voters want Starmer out

...James Johnson, the co-founder of JL Partners, said: “I can’t think of a time I have seen the governing party’s own voters be in majority support of another election just two years later.

“The usual loyalty we see in British politics has become unbuckled as far as Labour is concerned, and that places the Prime Minister in a very perilous position indeed.”

While Labour has attempted to rebrand the Prime Minister as a world statesman at a time of global conflict in an attempt to stem a wipe-out at the polls on May 7, the results are set to be brutal.

According to one recent forecast, Labour is set to lose 1,900 councillors at the local elections – more than three in five of the council seats up for election.

Adding insult to injury, a jubilant Nigel Farage and his Reform Party are forecast to waltz to a tremendous, previously unimaginable number of new seats. 

...Reform is predicted to gain as many as 2,260 councillors, with the Greens gaining 450. The Conservatives are expected to lose more than 1,000 councillors.

So much so that they haven't bothered to come up with any sort of clever or inspiring campaign slogan. It's as if they adopted something someone shouted in a pub and are running with that:

Vote Reform, Get Starmer Out

I guess it says everything it needs to, right?

And the sentiment is on target for what Britons across the country are telling pollsters - they want Starmer gone. That includes almost half of the people who voted for him last time.

Almost two thirds of voters want Sir Keir Starmer to resign immediately, and a similar number want a general election now, a poll has found.

Fewer than one in five think the Prime Minister should stay on, while almost half of those who voted Labour at the 2024 general election want him to go.

...The new poll, by JL Partners, shows that a majority of voters in every region and age group want the Prime Minister to be replaced.

Asked “should Keir Starmer stay or go?”, 64 per cent of people said he should go and 18 per cent said he should stay. Of those who voted Labour in 2024, 46 per cent said they wanted him to go now.

The question is, will Starmer resign if Labour's losses are as bad as projected?

Farage believes that Starmer will be forced into a resignation should Reform triumph as predicted over Labour. He doesn't believe he will last to the end of May as Prime Minister if that comes to pass.

...Reform UK is now the only real alternative to Labour. The Conservatives have sunk to a distant third or even fourth place in the polls.

The public has not forgiven them for 14 years of blunders and betrayal – and perhaps never will.

After what I predict will be a wipe-out in the May elections in Scotland and Wales, the Conservatives might find it hard even to claim that they are still a national party. If Reform UK win these elections, Keir Starmer will have to resign. It will only be a matter of time.

...That's why, in a few weeks' time, we will do well in Labour's alleged heartlands in the so-called Red Wall areas of the north of England, the Midlands and Wales.

Starmer has already lost the last two parliamentary by-elections in supposedly 'safe' Labour seats. My party finished ahead of the Conservatives and Labour in both of these contests.

The British people want Starmer out. We are the party that is best placed to beat Labour and give the people what they want.

When I returned to politics as leader of Reform UK before the last general election, I promised to stand up for: 'Your Family, Your Community and Our Country'. Keir Starmer has done critical damage to all three.

Enough is enough. My message to the British people today is: Vote Reform, get Starmer out.

The anti-Starmer and Labour sentiment is deep and abiding across the country, and every day something happens to make it stronger.

Even if Starmer should resign, and the calls for calling a general election grow louder and more vociferous based on the very real possibility that Starmer's replacement could be a Labourite even more radical and objectionable, would there be an early general election?

The Magic Eight Ball of Public Opinion says 'no way Labour would chance it.'

'Can't wait to see him gone' is the general sentiment.

I believe that goes for many in this country, too, starting with the administration.

And best of luck to whomever inherits 'the wreckage from Labour,' as one person put it. They felt those lucky souls were 'doomed.'

Let's not be so hasty and just pray that voters march Labour to the exits.

One wanker out the door at a time.
