Britons celebrate as Keir Starmer to resign TOMORROW say reports - 'Labour will tear itself apart!'

Is Keir Starmer going to resign tomorrow, or is it going to look a little bit like this? Of course, that's just a bit of AI fun there. But seriously, it has been an utter disaster, hasn't it? So, before you do go, Keir, should we have a little look at your best bits? My dad was a toolmaker. My dad was a toolmaker. My dad was a toolmaker. But when I grew up, my dad was a toolmaker. He worked in a factory. It's true. Did you know Keir Starmer was a toolmaker? He did indeed make a lot of tools for the country, didn't he? Starmer's also famous for being hashtag never here Keir. Have you lost control of your MPs, Prime Minister? Hello. Yes, he does love a trip, our kid, doesn't he? So much so, a bit of a fag packet maths shows he has now travelled 70% of the way to the moon, spent 86 days, almost three months of his short reign abroad, and over three working weeks in the air. He's away so much, he's started mimicking the cartoon character Roadrunner. Meep meep. Meep meep indeed. And we do need an update on that ever-important hostage release. I call again for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the return of the sausages, the hostages. We need them back, those sausages, we really do. And how can we forget the superbly, how superbly the establishment media claimed Starmer navigated the special relationship. We're, come here. Is everything going good? Very good. It's very nice of you here. These people all came on like 20, 20 minute notice. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with. I will say the UK has been very, very uncooperative. Yes, indeed. And of course, yet to go to the highest court in the land for our great leader to understand what a woman was. Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix? Well, it is something that shouldn't be said. A woman can have a penis. Nick, I'm not. I don't think we can conduct this debate. I just beg his belief. And sometimes he's just so deeply out of touch, even the House of Commons has a good laugh at his expense. I know many members across the House will find these facts to be incredible. It's the moment of realisation on his face, isn't it? And the only good news is this. If Starmer doesn't go now, the Labour Party, of course, is going to tear itself apart. And that in itself would be utterly glorious to watch for many of us, wouldn't it? But the choice is yours, Keir. Either way, I think the country will celebrate, even if it is just for 24 hours. Just get the thoughts of my panel. Businessman and activist, Adam Brooks is here. Associate comment editor for The Telegraph, Poppy Coburn. And former Labour MP, Bill Rammel. I'm so glad both you two are here tonight. Poppy, you weren't here when these predictions were made. But there is an incredible prediction that was made on this show on the 21st of December. And I have to tell you, watching it back earlier on today, it is scary how accurate it is. Stay tuned for that one, because I'm going to show that to you at 10 o'clock. Let's get talking about Keir, though. Adam, you're going to miss him. Be real, be honest. Let me just tell you now, even though I know what's coming, he's just as bad, if not worse. This has been the worst prime minister of my lifetime, possibly in the last 50 years. The most unpopular, most hated. He immediately, once there was the riots in 2024, labelled everyday Brits as far-right and extreme. He dared to label hard-working people, men and women, as being extreme for wanting secure borders, for wanting safe communities. It was then that he was done. Within months, he was done as prime minister. He then went on to target pensioners in a freezing cold winter. He wanted to strip their money away for almost no gain. He went for the farmers. He's come for small businesses. Our taxes are at 90-year highs, and everything is crumbling around us. Sex crimes against women and girls are at record levels. This man has been an unmitigated disaster. Yes, what we've got coming is no better, but I'm going to celebrate with a party in my pub once he's gone, because for me, he just encapsulates two years of misery and division in this country. He could not make a decision on anything. He blew with the wind. He couldn't even stick by a speech that he made. Remember the Island of Strangers? It was the best thing he'd ever said. I remember tweeting, saying, wow, this guy's woken up. Then he denied that he knew any knowledge of what was in that speech and that script. He said someone else wrote it, didn't he? Look, the man is a coward. The man should not be a politician. He's a lawyer, a human rights lawyer, that should be nowhere near the top level of this country. Good riddance. I hope he just goes away now. I don't even want him as an MP. Pop Poppy, I guess his reign is being framed as over now, but there's a chance he could fight it. I think it's a slim chance at this point, but he might say, do you know what? I'm still prime minister. I'm in two minds about this, because I was watching one of those clips that you put up on screen. It was Keir Starmer speaking in 2021. The first thing I thought when I looked at him was, my God, how different does he look? It's as if he has aged 20 years in the time that he's been prime minister. He's not even been prime minister for two years. He's completely changed as a person. I think there's a part of him, he's a terrible politician, as you pointed out, Adam. He cannot do it. Aside from the ideology, he's lacking something inside him to allow him to do that job well. You can really see the toll it's taken on him. I do wonder after this, if he's just going to say, you know what? I want nothing to do with the party, because he hates the Labour Party. He's been raging the entire weekend. We've had briefs of him going around saying, I've sacrificed so many years of my life. I've sacrificed my teenage years and my children. To be prime minister, to look after the Labour Party, and look what you're doing now. You're stabbing me in the back. So I'd be incredibly surprised if after all of this, all the humiliation, all the hurt it's clearly caused him, and of course, the country, if he'd really want to stay in that job afterwards. Yeah. Is there a case to be made? I mean, Bill, I've sat here before. There was a month ago, one of my monologues for a month ago is going viral now on TikTok. It's when I declared that he was, there was really strong indicators that he might even have gone a few weeks ago when the Maddison files, the second version came out and was very damaging for him. But of course, he didn't go in the end. But now these young kids are sharing it on TikTok because they're so happy, they think the social media bands are coming in. So they just rehashed it. Is there a chance he stays? I don't think so. I think this is the end of the road. I think Keir's problem is that he's writ and his authority and his vision doesn't permeate the government. And that has real consequences for policymaking and particularly communications. And I think we've learnt over the last two years that Keir's a fairly awful communicator. He doesn't emote. He doesn't connect with people. And in this day and age, I think that's a real problem. Having said that, you know, he has got real achievements, you know, waiting list falling, net migration down by 800,000. Foreign policy was it? No, no, no. This government's gone way beyond what the Tories committed to and it's having success and traction. And on the international stage, I think he's made the right calls, you know, particularly on the conflict in Iran. He made the right call not to support the United States against Iran. And I think the history books will judge him correctly in that regard. But all those points that I've made about the positive case for this government, he's never built into a cohesive vision and narrative of what the government's doing. I contrast that when I was in government under Tony Blair. And every day, every week, Blair was explaining what we were doing, why we were doing it and how we were doing it. And Keir hasn't come close to that. No, you're right. Now, death can feel like a taboo subject when in reality, it's a certainty for all of us. I'm Andrew Pearce, and I'm joined by Zach Sullivan, who's Managing Director of Simplicity Cremations. How does a Simplicity Cremation funeral plan actually work in practice? The funeral plan ensures that you have arrangements in place for your funeral. It's a direct cremation. And that means that when the time comes, you're able to make a call to one of our team, and they ensure the collection, care and cremation of the individual, and then the return of the ashes to the family. And all of this is done with clear and transparent prices by our UK based teams. So why do you think more families are going down that route of having a There are a few big drivers. I think people are looking for more simplicity in their lives. There's a big consideration around transparency of pricing and costs, and people ultimately are looking for more personalisation. A Simplicity Cremation allows you to plan the funerals that you wish, and allows you to have a separate celebration of life ceremony that better So I want to ask you how you think your funeral plan would benefit people's loved ones. It removes an awful lot of burden from them. It ensures that during what is a very difficult and stressful time, plans are in place, they're not left making decisions, which are often very hard, and they might not even know how that process works. And also ensures that the costs are all alleviates financial pressure so that they can go on with planning the service and the celebration that they really want.

Well, talking of the President of the United States, of course, earlier on today, some quite a big bit of news. The President did post on Truth Social, he said Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects, immigration and energy. Open North Sea oil. I wish him well. I think that wish him well was maybe a little bit of an afterthought. Maybe someone said, come on, just be a little bit nice because he is going now. Do you agree with Donald Trump? Do you agree that it's immigration and energy that let him down, Adam? What Bill says is that the figures, the immigration figures can be fluffed. We've got to remember that 800,000 still coming to this country last year. That is no positive. But we had so many leaving with record numbers of Brits leaving, I believe, as well. So immigration numbers are sky high. But we're still having 800,000 people, many from cultures far different from our own. And then we've got people that are very similar culturally leaving. Yeah. So what's happening? We're being replaced. And so I'm not going to celebrate that at all. Energy wise, Ed Miliband, for me, is a green communist. He's a nutcase in that world. Net zero. So, no, I can't celebrate that. I can't say that they've done anything good. Our bills are still higher than July 20, 2024. So how have they achieved anything? All the promises they made pre-election, your bills are coming down £300 off that. They were lies. So you cannot celebrate, Bill. They didn't cut our bills, mate. They're still higher than 24. In the last budget, 130 quid was taken off people's energy bills. They're still higher than July 2024. That's a little bit unfair, Bill, because you know that tax was moved elsewhere. It was a stealth tax. It was a stealth tax. But where was it moved to? I can't remember which other tax it was. But the reality was it did cut people's energy bills. Well, yeah, but you can't take from somewhere else and add it on to someone else's, a different part of the bill and say you're reducing energy bills that way. Did your bill go down by 130 quid a year? Yes, it did. Our bills went up elsewhere. And we live in a global economy and a global oil market. I'm not disputing that. I'm just disputing when the government say they brought the bills down. Technically, they did. But they didn't do it by actually improving energy supply and making it cheaper for people. They just took off the net zero stuff and moved it elsewhere. Even if you started drilling for oil and gas all the way across the North Sea with new plants, it wouldn't do one iota to reduce energy bills. And you know, the virtue of net zero is it's about energy security and it brings prices down because renewables are much, much cheaper. Where I would disagree with Donald Trump on this is that he's only named two things that brought Keir Starmer down. I actually think the most important thing that's brought Keir Starmer down is he was elected on a promise of a change of government. And I think for most people, what government actually means translates into the economy. Do you feel like you are getting richer or poorer over the span of a government? And I think for most people in Britain, they would answer that question by saying, I feel that not only am I worse off, but I am afraid that in the future I will be even more worse off than I am now. And I think that is where Labour has really failed. It has handed out money to certain groups in society. Some people are better off. So if you're a public sector worker, you're probably slightly better off. If you're someone who's claiming benefits, you might actually be slightly better off. But if you are any other section of people in society, you will be feeling the pinch. And it's not just because the things are out that can't Starmer's control. He can't control what's happening in Iran. He can't control what's happening in Ukraine. We're not a powerful country anymore. We don't get to set the stage geopolitically. But he can control things like, where does his chancellor raise taxes? Where does she decide to cut things from? Where does he decide to invest money in? Does he decide to cut welfare to put that money into infrastructure spending? These are the difficult decisions that Labour governments used to be able to make that were not made under Keir Starmer. He was essentially paralysed for almost his third month in government. He was not able to make those difficult decisions. And I think that is ultimately what has brought him down. I recognise there's a real perception around cost of living. The reality is that for the first time in a generation, average wages have risen faster than prices. So technically, people are a bit better off. And that was before what happened in Iran. But the point I do agree with you on is, on some of the difficult issues where you need a prime minister to be intervening, knocking heads together, coming to a conclusion, and then communicating it, Keir has often failed in doing that. And I think that is a real deficit. You said people are better off. Unemployment, youth unemployment is at an 11-year high. Normal unemployment is at a six-year high. And that is down to Rachel Reeves' two budgets. I called it out from the first one. The national insurance contributions hike, I said this is the worst policy in 20 years. Now, people online, what do you know? You're a Republican. Well, yes, I'm living it. I know how expensive it is to hire young people now. So people are not hiring young people. I laid people off. I cut shifts. So no one was better off. So what they've done in two budgets, and they were warned by industry experts, not just small businessmen like me, the damage you're going to do by this if you continue is going to be sky high. She ignored it, and it is sky high. We can't get around that. There's more youths unemployed than 11 years ago. The youth unemployment legacy goes back over a decade. You've just made it more costly to hire them. In respect of the minimum wage, I think there is a fair point that we need to be very careful at the rate that we set the youth minimum wage. And I think it has gone too high. But a 1% increase in national insurance contributions really hasn't stymied business. It has, Bill. You don't understand. It's threshold as well. I tell you what I do understand is that this country, albeit in very difficult circumstances, has got the highest growth rate in the G7. That's a lie. Bill, that is not true. America is growing at 2%. We're growing at 0.6%. I don't know who is giving you this rubbish, but it's a lie. It is absolutely true that our growth rate was the highest in the G7. It wasn't in the G7. It was the highest non-American economy in the G7. Compared to continental Europe, which Keir Starmer wants to bring us back into, yes, we were outperforming. It's clever mathematics, but we are not growing faster than the United States. We're not growing fast enough. And there needs to be further action and efforts in that regard. And if there is going to be a change of Prime Minister, I really hope that there's a positive growth agenda coming in. I think the unadulterated gloom and pessimism around the actions of this government is actually not born out of it. In a positive way, I want to hear what you think the government has done well. I'd genuinely like to hear, because obviously I've been here making a bit of a joke of the Prime Minister. What do you think he has successfully delivered? Boosting the minimum wage, bringing in better employment rights, protecting working people, bringing the railway industry back into public ownership, which is the huge majority amongst the public to do. That's true. Amidst a very difficult international situation, securing three international trade agreements that will benefit jobs and prosperity in this country. But it has never been built into a cohesive vision of change that you need to articulate to persuade people to take them with you. You're missing a big thing about why people are angry with this government as well. A Labour Lord himself, I forget what his name was, described the party as the party of paedophilia and perversion. Over the last two years, we've had some seriously worrying scandals where the government and Keir Starmer said it hasn't come across his desk. We've had Mandelson, a man that befriended and carried on being friends with the most renowned paedophile in the world. Keir Starmer said he didn't know. It was all over the front pages two or three years ago. So he lied. Keir Starmer lied to do that. In respect of the grooming gangs, which is at the epicentre of your accusation, Keir Starmer, as Director of Public Prosecutions, changed the rules dramatically to actually ensure that those issues were tackled. He didn't want a national inquiry here. And actually publicly said race and ethnicity has been used as a cloak to shield people from prosecution. It was Lord Glassman, by the way, I believe he said that. Poppy, what would your message be to Keir Starmer as he leaves Downing Street? What would you like to say to the Prime Minister? Go back on holiday? The truth is, I think in three months' time, Keir Starmer will be sitting back, probably on a beach somewhere, thinking, I'm so glad I'm not in this situation anymore. Because if anybody believes the successor to him, and it's probably going to be Andy Burnham, let's be honest, is going to be able to do a better job, they've got another thing coming. You know, I do agree with you, actually, on one thing. I do not think Keir Starmer's been a good Prime Minister. But that does not mean that he was being the worst possible Prime Minister for that moment in time. But I think we're about to see what happens when the training wheels are taken off, when we're having Tory style executions of leaders, let's get a new one in, let's get a new one in, let's throw out anything into the air and see what sticks. When that starts to happen under this Labour government, we will get to see how bad things really can be. Well, there's been a lot of very scarily accurate predictions made on this show. So if you ever want to, like the closest thing to a crystal ball in politics, I think you might want to watch this show more often because Poppy might be back soon to tell us how that's all gone in a few months' time.
