  • Michael Gove and Katy Balls are joined by Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund to discuss their new book, Get In: The Inside Story of Labour Under Starmer.
    It’s the second in their tell-all series of books on the Labour Party’s ups and downs and has caused quite a stir in Westminster. From the revelations about Keir Starmer’s voice coach causing a fresh lockdown row to Michael Gove’s secret dinner with Morgan McSweeney, there is a high-density of scoops and disclosures. Can Labour blame the failures of their first 100 days on Sue Gray? And is there such a thing as ‘Starmerism’?

    Starmer only won because the country became so disgusted by Gove's Conservative party.

      There's no way anyone would've voted for someone who believes in unilaterally cow-towing to international law institutions. All Starmer did in opposition was look and sound sanctimonious.

    I love and respect the UK, but your parliamentary system is utterly dreadful. With a mere 33% of the vote, Starmer and Labour won a five year parliamentary dictatorship that is unassailable. Here in the United States, a much greater check on power is available to the people much more frequently in the form of all US House members facing elections every two years, and a third of US Senators facing election every two years. Additionally, for all of its foibles, our two party system creates more powerful and stable government. I'm sorry that the UK is facing such political turmoil now, and I wish you the best of luck!

    Reform! Starner's life is very complicatrd and he seems to be a somewhat confused individual with no leadership abilities. Since Reeves has holed the economy things are about to get a great deal more difficult for Liebour. We left last year and cd run a relocation b8z as a side gig there are so many people wanting to get out. Strange times.

    I posted long ago (2.5 years), that PM Starmer was a great Opposition Leader in Parliament. This environment exploits his prosecutor training. However, I cautioned after his fumbled 5 point governance plan, he could not be a good PM. This is because Starmer lacks instinctive leadership skills.
    Now of course, Starmer has been exposed in the Rape Grooming Scandal, as a Prosecutor who selectively applied justice so as to not offend Muslims minorities. Remember, South African Blacks did not vote to be made 2ND Class citizens. I dare say neither will the 5 million Tommy Robinsons living in the area from Birmingham to Liverpool, to Manchester, to Leeds, to Newcastle. PM Starmer will make MP Farage the UK PM!!!
