History will not be kind to Sir Keir Starmer’s time in office, both for his actions and his failures-to-act. The Labour Party will now select the next person to live at Number 10 Downing Street, as they still hold a majority in the House of Commons and are not required to go back to the people for a new mandate, regardless of who is their party leader.<\/p>\n

Rupert Lowe<\/a>, the leader of Restore Britain, greeted the news on the social media site formerly known as Twitter<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I reposted this on my other social media accounts, saying “Sadly, this is completely true. We belatedly ditched the clown prince of progressivism … only to install Mark Carney, who believes all the same progressive shibboleths that Trudeau did, but he’s far more capable of implementing them by hook or by crook.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Starmer resigns — he has been a truly disgraceful Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

I do not believe him to be a good man or a patriot.<\/p>\n

He has deliberately and rapidly accelerated the destruction of our Britain, of our home.<\/p>\n

History will not remember him kindly, nor should it.<\/p>\n

I sat in Parliament, looking him in the eye, listening to him attempting to justify his decision to block a national inquiry into the mass rape of young British girls.<\/p>\n

I will never forgive him. For that, and so much else.<\/p>\n

What comes next, I do not know.<\/p>\n

Whatever that is, Restore Britain will be ready to offer the British people a democratic route out — a better way, the only way.<\/p>\n

But Starmer is gone.<\/p>\n

And that is a good thing.<\/p>\n

Enjoy it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Former Manchester mayor and recently elected Member of Parliament for Makerfield Andy Burnham is the most likely successor to Starmer.<\/p>\n
