Everything is Starmer on my news/radio.
I’m not for removing him. Right or wrong it’s not what the country needs now-for me.(May may be diff!)
But I have recalled a story of how he got into politics and the welsh Lobbyist : facilitator. Who made it happen.
Bad omens that !

Yesterday was possibly the worst watch of wales I have had. - and I watched a lot in the 90s.
Something was different. I can’t defend relegation now, in fact the talk of Madrid, Lisbon, Amsterdam was attractive!
But twicks, Murray etc without welsh fans will be a sad sight.

Said this to @ceritheviking.bsky.social earlier today. Worth repeating.
Burnham must be thanking the election gods on Labour’s NEC.
No way he would have won that seat after this.
Bullet dodged.
PM Rayner incoming…

It’s quite something that Epstein may take out a British royal and a British PM - I’m a big Starmer defender too, but judgement here is shocking - but not the US president who is mired in the scandal!
I’d prosecute mandleson too. (And I don’t believe he is alone in such leaks)
