Absolute joke -

And just shows what this Country has become .

The fact he can be parachuted in - after failing twice in a leadership election and then the nec rejecting him sums up the state of politics in the country .

So he is now the messiah ? Look at his record - not exactly a cv worthy of a PM .

I do not give a f about farage reform etc - but I want politicians who have morals respect and put the country first -

Good luck in finding them .... nite all and play nicely .

‘Look at his record - not exactly a cv worthy of a PM .’

He’s previously been an MP, Minister, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Secretary of State x 2, Shadow Secretary of State x 3, Mayor of one of our major cities, and now an MP again.

Not sure what else he needs on his CV?

His "O" level and "A" level grades ? Remember how John Major was hounded on that one for more than a week .

Be interesting who he picks as chancellor.

I think he'll give the job to Streeting.

Rachel Reeves made a good point earlier in the week that he will need to hit the ground running with a fully costed and viable programme for his government that he can execute on from the moment he enters No.10. The honeymoon period from the public will likely be razor thin and he will have zero latitude to “work it out”.

Tactically, if I was him, I would take a leaf from Trump 2.0 and hit the ground running with a flurry of announcements. Blitz parliament, the media and civil service and use his initial power quickly.

Inadequate for this roll. They just roll the dice on these huge treasury numbers like it’s pocket change.

Sunak was the only chancellor in recent years with any clue of macro economics

Only a few weeks ago Starmer was struggling to find £15bn for the shortfall in defence funding

Where is Burnham getting £79bn for the largest social house building program since WW2

The only place they can raise money is wealth and property taxes

£9trn of the UKs £13.6trn ‘’value’ is property. (ONS figs)

Sunak left a huge negative legacy with the Covid bailouts. I understand, politically, why he did it but the debt increase he left will linger for decades. That is not the mark of an economic genius.

It won’t happen. It’s just not credible.

So far the great economic plan seems to be do nothing about all the stuff that ain't working and needs fixing (welfare reforms, immigration, NHS etc), carry on as is and get London (and parts of the South East) to pay for it.... Silence from Sadiq Khan is saying something

He will mean tens of thousands more unemployed in all industries as his mad policies will ensure that UK energy prices are so high as to make most industries uneconomic in this country.

Property wealth is roughly £5.4 trillion, which is significantly less than the £9 trillion claimed.

He's truly clueless and a union man, watch this space as it will all come tumbling down.

He wants to rebuild UK industry and manufacturing, of course it can be done, but it would be one bitter pill for the nation to swallow. House prices drop through the floor (might be why he wants a LVT) wages would need to drop to make it work so we could compete with the far east.

Things might not be that good now, but if he gets his way it's going to get whole lot worse. If I was 20 years younger I'd be out here, but I'm too close to retiring in few years to move abroad now.

He will tinker round the edges for 6 months, then do what starmers goverment dine and blame everything on the torys till the next election and will ignore any questions he dosent like, he like to big up what he has done in manchester but out side the city centre the place is still a shit tip and still just as deprived. Like 95%of politicians the guy is full of shit
