      In the wrong direction perhaps (although I realise you’re likely being sarcastic).

      This is a more efficient, better branded Starmer government. Behind the scenes it’s the same Amerisraeli intelligence operation via LabourTogether mechanisms/funding.

      Starmer’s backing of Reeves over the most mild possible concerns over dumping all UK money into American arms + spytech (combined with the press finally noticing, as instructed, that he’s an empty skinsuit everyone hates) necessitated a soft coup by the security state who felt he’d grown closer to the city than he had to them.

      With Healey as Chancellor they’ll have no such issue again, while Mahmood has been given free reign to double down on the cruelty and state repression in collaboration with Palantir + co. While Miliband is brought in to try and soften the image of complicity in the continuing genocide of Gaza and eat shit for it. Yvette Cooper now gets to go from getting paid by Israel to treasonously designate peaceful British citizens as terrorists, to being paid by US business to help finish asset stripping the NHS for them. All while expanding and intensifying the powers they’ve built to declare journalists foreign agents and citizens terrorists for thought crime, before handing the keys to an openly fascist party into 3 years.

      Closer to this, they just want to warm the seat for Farage at this point

    Do Bo Burnham next! He’d make a better Prime Minister for Britain. Does it matter that he’s not British? Meh

    I haven’t even bothered to learn what this guy’s face looks like, since he’s gonna fuck up and resign anyways.
