If Britain & France were to combine, then they could launch upwards of 500 nuclear warheads at any country in one strike
Other countries DO have the capacity to fire back more
But, by then, who would care?
500 nuclear detonations would annihilate anyone
Grim, but...relevant

The entire cabinet, those who attend cabinet, as well as Lucy Powell and Angela Rayner have all now come out to publicly back Keir Starmer to remain prime minister.
Their public declarations of support come after Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called for the PM to resign

Always a treat when politicians decide to tell private enterprises what business practices are best for them.
BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”
Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform.
All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

This, you know, is kind of true
NEW: No10 bat away Anas Sarwar’s calls for Starmer to go.
“Keir Starmer is one of only four Labour leaders ever to have won a general election.
“He has a clear five-year mandate from the British people to deliver change, and that is what he will do.”

"and I received no such assurances, and as such, a state of war now exists between Scotland and England"
"I spoke to the Prime Minister earlier today, and I think it's safe to say that he and I disagreed," says Anas Sarwar

It’s interesting how self proclaimed left leaning Labour MPs seem keen for Starmer to go. Do they wish to recreate the glories of Corbyn style politics & electoral GE wins? Oh wait there weren’t any. A destabilising change of leadership will deliver the U.K. to dangerous Reform.

New from the Resolution Foundation, UK productivity grew more in 2025 than in the last 7 years. Wonder if the media will find space to report this in between bellowing about Starmer.

23 of the 24 contracts given to Palantir was done by Tories from 2020. Polanski's not done any homework again and no-one's challenging him, least of all the interviewer of course as they'll accept anything that blames Labour for everything. It's wet and cold today, definately Labour's fault.

Most politicians and advisers seem to way underestimate the stakes they're playing with. The fantasists, conspiracists and wreckers of Reform UK deeply sympathise with the dictators we face. Idea of them with executive power and access to the panoply of state functions dwarfs most else we've faced.

I am finding the glee of the Corbynite left at the fall out of the Epstein files selective release & the problems it has caused for Starmer hard to stomach
They had the leadership, the NEC & the membership of the Labour Party & they utterly fucked it up
Now they kid themselves they have relevance

Carrying on improving the country as they were elected to do even though it seems some of the public are being proper assholes calling for Starmer,a completely innocent man in all regards,to resign.
And replaced by who?
No one can touch him as PM.
Lots of future contenders,none ready in my opinion.
