Glad to see the back of Starmer.
Not sure how much of his ousting was his pro-Zionism, I'd like to think about half.

genuinely quite hard to understand how someone who won a 'landslide' election victory can be ignominiously booted out within 2 years.
well, not so hard to understand when you consider the machinations of his inner circle and the type of advisors he had around him (viz. blairite centrist slugs and peter mandelson hangers-on).
appointing reeves as chancellor was his first big mistake. they achieved none of their soft-left progressive reforms to the economy and mostly seemed to only get through policy to do with illiberal measures banning protest, doing away with jury trials, and requiring digital ID for adults to access reddit (even imgur is banned in the UK now, which is truly bizarre).
also gave away the chagos islands because he is so thoroughly brainwashed by his human rights lawyer milieu. something that was in no ways in the national interest but granted him kudos amongst a certain charmed class of QCs/KCs and star barrister types.

On the one hand the last however many PMs have been cursed by a dying economy, Make England Great Again is a great slogan but not a realistic option.
On the other the only thing which has enlivened this tubby slug has been supporting genocide and crushing dissent against it.
People aren't stupid either, they can see that when two jews getting stabbed warrants a Cobra meeting and GBP25m in security funding, but five muslims being attacked with an axe doesn't merit a tweet there's an imbalance.
I had no confidence in him from day one, obviously another Blairish grifter with a Pro-Israel agenda.
Burnham seems to have no defined policies, I see no hope there.
Apparently he's already complaining that he needs Starmer to stay in place for three months so he can 'develop a plan', exactly what Starmer has supposedly been doing for the last two years with no output.
Glad I'm not paying tax into this disaster.

i would really like to stop paying UK tax (via treaty) and leave the UK altogether, but alas. maybe one day.
I don't think the UK is going to be negotiating a treaty with you.
Everything is great
there is a reciprocal tax treaty between the UK and japan, as with many other places, on income tax, derp.
Well thats lucky, you can use that.
Everything is great
