Trump ally Nigel Farage deals major blow to Starmer in local UK elections

Increasing calls for Starmer's resignation. Go Britannia, more good news after the great news in VA!

The United Kingdom’s ruling Labour Party is on track to suffer a major defeat in Thursday’s local elections as Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK surges in support, prompting calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign.
British local elections are widely viewed as a functional referendum on the popularity of the ruling party and its head. With Labour having already suffered a net loss of nearly 500 local council seats with just over half of the councils called, multiple Labour MPs are saying that Starmer must agree to a timeline for his exit from office.
"Many, many Labour voters that I represent, I guess, in the north of England and elsewhere that the direction the government [has] taken has not delivered the change that they thought they voted for," Labour MP Jon Trickett said of the results. "They’re angry, they’re upset, they feel let down, they’ve sent us a clear message: The party, the leadership, must change with immediate effect if we want to recover."
Reform UK, which has seen a net increase of about 650 seats as of writing, picked up considerable ground in post-industrial parts of northern and central England. Many of those seats are described as part of the country’s "Red Wall," a mass of constituencies that have historically supported the Labour Party.

Let this be a lesson to Democracies world wide. Never elect lying wussies to political leadership. Starmer is the UK's Joe Biden. Take notice Europe.

Why does it seem like every couple of years there's a major win for the "far right" in the UK and other European countries, just for nothing to happen and the liberals to quietly take back over? In three years we'll be reading another similar article about the right winning big in the UK and how things are finally going to start changing for Europe, all while refugees and immigrants continue to pour into the country.

Parliament and prime minister are just decoration. The Crown runs the policy in UK. It’s a facade to make the people believe they have a choice.

The "banking guild" (City of London) run England. Just like the rest of the EU.
Been that way since William 3rd of the House of Orange, married Mary 2nd.

Under William’s rule as both Dutch Stadtholder and English King, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the English East India Company were, for a short time, aligned under one leader, which helped streamline commercial competition against France.

Starmer is now refusing to step aside:
quote:
(VIA AP Newswire) – LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer insisted Friday that he will not resign after bruising elections that saw his governing Labour Party suffer big losses and the hard-right Reform UK make major gains.
The local and regional elections were widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he led the center-left Labour Party to power less than two years ago. […] Starmer said he took responsibility for the “very tough” results but would not quit.
“The voters have sent a message about the pace of change, how they want their lives improved,” he said. “I was elected to meet those challenges, and I’m not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos.”

Dictatorship under Hitler - is national socialism
Dictatorship under Stalin- is international socialism

Uh....I don't think you "walking away" is going to plunge the country into chaos, Keir.
At least not any more chaos than it already is in.

In the warped mind of a crazed “Liberal world order” Progressive like Starmer, this means UK citizens demand MORE migrants and demand MORE cracking down against the rights of anyone to speak out against it.

“Far-right” in the UK is equivalent to the center-left here

Because the “right-wing” parties in Europe are all a bunch of spineless pussies who love to talk yet do absolutely nothing.
Turns out that doing protest marches through the streets of London while holding flags with crosses on them isn’t going to magically make all of the raghead migrants disappear.

Except when Hitler won power, he actually did do something about the globalists.

This always what they say right before they resign.
