Here we go again then with Britain ready to have its 7th Prime Minister in 10 years and the new name on the door is widely expected to be Andy Burnham who is almost facing a clear field in his run to 10 Downing Street.
It has been a bit of a wild ride for Keir Starmer who does come across as a very nice man but not a very nice Labour man and though it was the Mandelson Affair which ended him, the writing has been on the wall for quite some time but while he will remembered for his missteps, he did have some successes.
Keeping Britain out of Trumps disastrous war in Iran, the Social Media ban for under 16's, bringing down waiting lists for the NHS and the employee and renter rights were all rightly applauded but i always had the feeling that Starmer wasn't connecting with the general public and came across as quite bland an uncharismatic although he did say in 20204 when he was elected, maybe what Britain needs is a boring Prime Minister, which is exactly what we got.
Andy Burnham's plans are not that well known which seems a strange situation for someone about to take the top decisions in Government but whereas Starmer was not Labour enough for the parties Back Benchers, Burnham is making all the right noises at the moment although what he can do within the Party Manifesto he will have to work under we willo find out soon enough.
As for Britain, Cameron quit in 2016 after losing the Brexit vote, Theresa May also gave up when she couldnt get her Briexit deal through the House of Commons in 2019, when his party refused to Govern under Boris Johnson in 2022 after it was exposed he was partying (and lying about it) through the Covid crisis he was replaced by Liz Truss who sunk the economy and was swiftly substituted just over a month later for Rishi Sunak who heavilly lost the 2024 to Keir Starmer.
After 717 days he will now be handing back the keys to Downing Street and the nation once again thinks, maybe this time it will work.
