How much longer can Teflon Starmer survive as P.M. ? With more than 14 U Turns , the appointment of Mandy , the conveniently lost Mcsweeney phone , the Chagos island deal calamity , non stop illegal immigration at record levels , £476 million paid last year to France to stop the rubber boats with no success and the UK now becoming a welfare state , etc etc .

I am guessing the Labour party are going to suffer a huge defeat in 3 weeks at the local elections . ( Not forgetting that Starmer tried to postpone 30 of the elections ) .

If you ever watch PMQT , all we hear is " We inherited the problems from the 14 year Tory rule " . Also Starmer often does not answer questions but digresses . So after nearly 2 years of the Labour Muppet show , the UK is in a terrible state . Is there to be a new general election ?

No.

Imo Starmer will either be gone this week if the charge that he misled parliament sticks. If not, I think that he will survive until the autumn.

However, there will be no GE until 2028 at the earliest. No party with Labour's majority would call a GE now.

This Labour government is proving to be a disaster and laughing stock . There has to be a way of stopping them from running their full term .

A successful 'vote of (no) confidence' is effectively the only way to forcibly remove the government before the end of its term, and backbench Labour MPs are very unlikely to vote with the opposition on that no matter what they privately think about the PM and cabinet.

Unfortunately, as a Labour voter, I have to agree with your first sentence.

A national strike could force a GE . A five year term for an under-performing government is stupid and should be regulated/ vetted for upholding its mandate promises , along with its national security actions most of which have failed and also putting the country at risk from wars / invasion . Etc Etc .

The UK is in a sorry state, shows no signs of recovery and unless this government is dissolved the problems will worsen .

The unions might not be too enthusiastic about Starmer but they still prefer him to Farage, so imo little chance of a general strike happening.

The union leaders might.Not sure about the membership.

Pick a winner out of any of these toss-pots, Britain hasn't been great for years, we had a good run though.

Rishi Sunak (2022–2024), Liz Truss (2022), Boris Johnson (2019–2022), Theresa May (2016–2019), David Cameron (2010–2016), Gordon Brown (2007–2010), and Tony Blair (1997–2007). These leaders, mostly from the Conservative party in recent years, followed long-serving Labour leader Blair and preceded current Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
