Time To Ratchet Up The Pressure.
UK: Starmer Is G-O-N-E!
Sunday, 21 June 2026
UK: Oh, Christ.
He [Burnham] recorded a net acceptability score of +8, ahead of John Healey (-8), Al Carns (-10) and Wes Streeting (-16).
But Mr. Burnham's standing [with the public] has fallen by 12 points since May, representing the largest decline among Sir Keir's possible replacements.
When asked who would be the best PM, voters narrowly chose Mrs. Badenoch over Sir Keir by 23 per cent to 22 per cent, while Mr. Farage also maintains a narrow lead over Sir Keir (27 per cent to 26 per cent).
In both cases, around four in ten respondents choose neither option.
PCC : Réveillez-vous, bande de poltrons !
Je suis désolé de devoir énoncer une évidence, mais le caucus conservateur s’est, dans l’ensemble, montré lâche. Non seulement avons-nous déjà perdu QUATRE élections d’affilée – comme si cela était acceptable pour un politicien du PCC sérieux et réfléchi –, mais même cette réalité ne suffit pas à inciter nos députés à s’opposer à notre chef.
Je tiens à vous rappeler à tous que la machine du Parti libéral est l’organisation politique la plus efficace du monde occidental. Lorsqu’ils étaient en difficulté dans les sondages à l’automne 2024, ils savaient exactement quoi faire pour conserver le pouvoir : s’inspirant du courage de Long et s’appuyant sur cela étape par étape, l’opposition au chef s’est accélérée et finalement fait boule de neige jusqu’à ce qu’ils parviennent à forcer la main de Trudeau. Trudeau n’avait aucune intention de quitter, tout comme Poilièvre, mais son caucus lui a clairement fait comprendre que s’il ne démissionnait pas, un vote de non-confiance irait de l'avant pour le destituer. C’est pourquoi Trudeau a annoncé à contrecœur, en début de janvier, qu’il démissionnerait de son poste.
Il est tout à fait ridicule qu’un simple membre du parti – insignifiant, inconnu et sans importance – doive servir d’outil aux dissidents. Je n’arrive tout simplement pas à croire qu’aucun député n’ose s’opposer publiquement à Pierre. Votre comportement est bien plus que honteux. Contrairement à vous, les transfuges passent pour des saints. De toute évidence, vous vous fichez complètement de notre parti. Si ce n’était pas le cas, vous lui accorderiez la priorité et feriez tout ce qui est nécessaire pour être dans la course lors des élections surprises de fin d’automne, qui auront lieu juste après le référendum en Alberta et les élections au Québec.
Je terminerai avec une citation de Heseltine :
« La politique, c’est comme le jardinage : il faut être impitoyable. »
Alors, passons à l’action. Débarrassons-nous de PP maintenant.
CPC: Wake Up, You Gutless Cowards!
I'm sorry, I have to state the obvious, but the Conservative caucus has, on the whole, shown itself to be cowardly. Not only have we already lost FOUR elections in a row – as if that was acceptable to any serious and thoughtful CPC politician – but even that is not enough to get our MPs to stand up to the leader.
I would remind you all that the Liberal Party machine is the most effective political organization in the Western world. When they were struggling in the polls in the fall of 2024, they knew exactly what to do to keep power: drawing inspiration from Long’s courage and building on that step by step, opposition to the leader grew and then snowballed until they forced Trudeau’s hand. Trudeau had no intention of leaving, just like Poilièvre, but caucus made it clear to him that if he did not resign, a vote of no confidence would be held to remove him. That is why Trudeau reluctantly announced, in early January, that he would quit as leader.
It is totally ridiculous that an ordinary party member – insignificant, unknown and of no importance – should have to carry the water for the dump PP crowd. I simply cannot believe that not a single MP dares to publicly take on Pierre. Your behaviour is worse than shameful. Compared to you, the turncoats look like saints. Clearly, you couldn’t care less about this party. If that weren’t the case, you would put it first and do whatever it takes to be in contention for the surprise late-fall election, which will occur right after the referendum in Alberta and the election in Quebec.
I’ll conclude with a quote from Heseltine:
‘Politics is like gardening: you have to be ruthless.’
So, let’s get on with it. Remove PP now.
Starmer expected to resign on Monday and set out orderly exit.
"One Labour peer, who is close to the prime minister, insisted Starmer would not “walk away” from No 10, creating a vacuum but would “arrange a deliberate slow march in good order, as a matter of duty and dignity”. The friend said: “I think he sees the realities. Stopping ‘chaos’ (as he rightly put it) is now not possible by staying, so that only leaves one option. I think he has come to see it as the dutiful option to serve the country and the party.”
"Another Labour grandee said the prime minister now appeared “resigned” to stepping down. “He’s come up hard against the reality that the support isn’t there,” the source said. “The truth is, everyone knows this is no longer a tenable proposition. There’s a sadness about it all, of course, but sometimes there’s just an inevitability in politics and as Boris Johnson said, ‘When the herd moves it moves’.” [emphasis added].
A cabinet minister said Starmer was “calmly going through things” after a series of highly personal conversations with his closest allies over recent days. “He just wants to do what’s right for the country and, having spoken to the people he wants, he is now spending quality time with his most important adviser – Vic,” the minister said.
