Keir Starmer - and his miserable government

Looks like Starmer's been dropped in it?

He's a smarmy cunt, so no doubt they'll come up with something to appease the rebels while still fucking over those that need help.
A wealth tax is something that should be happening, and going after these foreign owners and companies that don't pay their share.

The News Agents: Is Keir Starmer losing control of his party ?

BBC: PM 'agrees' to welfare changes deal with Labour rebels

It's the way things should be, those in charge need to be held accountable by their party, especially when it comes to harmful policy.
I think as much as it makes him weaker as a leader and shows how useless Reeves and Kendall are, it's better for Labour in the long run.

How much longer can he last?

The welfare changes will merely create a two tier system of relative haves and have nots.
Current claimants will be 'protected' while future claimants will get less.

Plays right into the hands of everyone whose been calling Kier Starmer "Two-Tier Kier"

It's a ludicrous compromise, anyone currently on benefits is OK, any new claimants will get screwed.
Any of those mp's who stood against the initial policy, and have now accepted this fudge, need to give their heads a serious wobble.

Hopefully, a weekend in their constituencies getting berated by the people who will be affected by this will give them time to grow their balls back and change their position again.

Changing PM after what we went through with the Tories would be the party's death knell in government, you might as well give Farage the keys. Not that that is a good reason to keep someone in No.10 but as an esteemed former occupant once said, thems the breaks
