I'm worried that Starmer will say he's leaving the broom, then u turn, leaving the nation broomless, and unable to afford one as Burnham has spent all the money.

Never mind the broom, just leave us a pot to piss in.

A pot?! We're terrified about losing the broom, and you want to burden the national debt with a pot?!

Hopefully we can get back to grey, boring politics again after the crazy, psycho dramas of the last two years.

Sorry I'm being a bit greedy, will have to be satisfied with a crock of shit.

Now that we can do. Welcome to Britain. 🙂

That "hopefully" is creaking under a lot of weight in @sadoldgit's opener.

I thought it was traditional that @sadoldgit started these. But he's been taking a break from the lounge of late.

Probably found an echo chamber on mumsnet or such like

Watching Kuenssberg now.  Is there a more loathsome, self-serving politician than Peter Kyle.  What an absolute cunt he is 😂.

What an astounding surprise to hear that Starmer is now considering "what's best for the country." I'm astonished and would never, ever have thought he'd not put up a leadership fight.

Almost as if he's been dragged kicking, and screaming to this position after months of offering all sorts to people to stop it happening.

He doesn’t give two shits what’s best for the country.  Even his exit is about what’s best for him.

I’n no fan of Burnham, but what a relief it will be to no longer have Starmer in charge.  Hopefully, the new PM will sack Reeves and Milliband as well.  
Milliband in particular needs his wings clipped.

Just wait till Milliband is appointed Chancellor

Apparently, Burnham is cooling on that idea.  Probably because he knows he doesn’t now need Milliband’s support to be PM.

Hopefully, we’ll see more of the likes of John Healey and Al Carns and less Milliband and Lammy.  I won’t hold my breath though.

So now that Starmer appears to be on his way out, I think we can safely say that the new broom did not sweep clean. What will the bloke be remembered for?

Chagos? Winter fuel allowance? Southport? Assisted suicide? Closing private schools? Inheritance tax on farmers? Getting rid of jury trials? Prosecuting veterans? Grooming gangs?

He will go hard on Breakfast clubs.....

I doubt though, he will mention "smashing the gangs"

[Challenger]

Like the seemingly endless list of new brooms before it, this one failed to do it's job as well. Next.

He will go all out on digital ID in the next few months to try to secure a "legacy".

Maybe we need to stop utilising brooms and employ a vacuum  cleaner.

Trump announcing he’s going before official announcement. 
 

Ends his premiership as it started. Shambles, can’t even resign properly.
