When a political leader fails to deliver on campaign promises and creates significant public harm, democratic accountability requires them to accept the consequences through a general election rather than remaining in power through party mechanisms.

“I’ve Got NO Sympathy For This Man” | Keir Starmer “Brought This Upon Himself” | ‘He’s Gone'Added:
face. Are you amazed that this is happening? Do you think it's happening?
Or do you think he'll weedle his way out of this?
>> No, I think it's over. I think Shabbana Brutus Mahmud last night stuck the dagger uh into Kama when your home secretary briefs out through the unions that she wants you gone from number 10.
You're pretty much done. Um followed by uh Iette Cooper, the foreign secretary.
you know, the the the two big holders of the offices of state uh coming out and saying his time is up. I just think um if he puts if if you believe him uh he cares about country ahead of party uh and that he thinks that he's on the right track, that we've just all got it wrong, then he should go to a general election. I >> I mean, I completely agree. I I I have to say though, I heard somebody just said to me, "We've got a new name for him. Twoyear Kia, brilliant." I I've heard people this morning say, not on this station, but you know, he's a decent man. He's done his best. And I will say this until I'm finishing at 10:00 and I read a couple of texts.
Then, try telling that to the pensioners, the farmers, some of whom have committed suicide, their livelihoods taken. Try telling that to the waspy women who depended on that money and were lied to. Try telling that to the grooming gangs victims. one of the biggest injustices this country has ever seen to not do that. And and Herma, he him and his mate Hurmer, what they've done to our armed forces who served in Northern Ireland amongst all of those atrocities and could end up in jail whilst the IRA have immunity. I've got no sympathy for this man at all. I think what goes around comes around. And the view from the cheap seeds, he was very judgmental. You were right in the center of all of that. There's criticism for the past and there's criticism now. But he has got this coming and he has brought this absolutely upon himself. If I ask you this then Adem, did you any part of you with your political history think that it could fall apart? I mean 21 months after you stride into Downing Street with the biggest postwar majority is un it's unheard of, isn't it?
>> It is extraordinary. Um they had 14 years >> to think about what to do with power as a party. He had four years as leader of the opposition. You'd think he'd walk into number 10 with three or four priorities to get the country growing, to bring down the cost of living, to deal with the madness of net zero that's harming that that um message you read out of the lady whose mom was literally suffering not being able to switch on her heating. Um it is heartbreaking and all of that um wasted in 24 months, less than 24 months. I think it is Nadim. I think it's 21 months for goodness. It was unheard of. But the man, you're right. It it's, you know, you'll know I'm straight with you. They lost the election because of the sheer incompetence at the end of the Tory party killing itself. They talked about cronyism. Jobs for the boys doing it correctly. It was 2 days before the Lord Alley thing was. It was 93 days before the woman who was brought into to to over overlook the first 100 days Sue Gray was gone. And it has been debacle after debacle. I I I don't think Take your point. I don't think they had a plan. I think they got elected on the back of completely knowing that the British people had stopped listening to the tourists and I think he's been found. I have I I'm too I'm too invested in I've spoken to too many veterans who are living in care homes terrified they're going to be prosecuted. I've spoken to too many old people across this country who have had that money taken away. Have absolutely no sympathy for this man whatsoever.
I you know I when I was a backbencher took on um the infected blood scandal you know he promised even on that that he would deliver against it and he didn't.
>> Um he is >> the most incompetent leader this country's ever had. We got rid of Liz Truss when the interest rate on British 10-year bonds hit 4.6 4.7%. It was at 5.1% what four or five days ago and it will rise again today. Um it is an absolute disaster. I think um it would be uh chaotic and irresponsible if Labour now have to wait for Andy Burnham to get back into parliament.
>> And by the way, can we have a discussion about that? The self-styled messiah of Manchester. I I worked there for 15 years. I've not heard I unless I'm missing the point, Adam. I haven't met anybody who thinks he's the messiah of Manchester. I think that's Oh, I've got some breaking news. You can respond to this. Now, this is really interesting.
Saki Starmer's major lap dog is Darren Jones, who's secretary of state for the prime minister. This breaking news. The prime minister's chief secretary has refused to say say whether Saki should stay on as prime minister. He's just said in the rounds it's up to the PM to decide what he does next. He said, "Stalmer is currently listening to colleagues and talking to colleagues. I can't say what decision he may or may not take. I'm not going to get ahead of the prime minister's decision." You would expect the chief secretary to the prime minister to say, "My boss is going to fight on." He's already eyeing another job, isn't he? Darren Jones, did he?
>> It is comical alley.
uh in the the the the way that the Labor team has handled they've just trashed their brand in the way the Conservatives trashed their brand in the final um you know year or two of uh that administration which I put my hands up you know I was very much uh part of that administration and I would literally come home and think you know what is the nation thinking yeah >> when they see politicians behaved the way the conservative politicians behaved at the end of that administration and this just takes it to whole other level.
The nation needs leadership. The nation needs a general election. Let's get on with it and have that because the only party that can actually fix this country um is is Nigdel Farage and and reform.
You saw it in in the local elections in Manchester. We made real inroads.
>> Well, there's the irony here. Here's the irony, right? You talk about like the the the future. You've got you've got streeting, who I love Ian Duncan Smith said he's been on maneuver since he was 10. You've got you've got the left who desperately want K to stay a couple of months so Bernham can weedle his way back into power and into the commons and Angela compare. But the thing about Burnham is and you know this as well as I do he has to stand in Manchester the messiah of Manchester I categor I know those figures of reform. You know why I know there is no way that Andy Burnham will win a seat in Manchester right now.
That's not happening. So they are absolutely I think completely in the mire and the most frightening thing and I'd love your response to this is I can see exactly what's going to happen here.
Milliban's going to come right through the middle and that human being could end up as our prime minister. Don't think the British people will buy that without an election.
>> It would be catastrophic for the economy. It would the the markets will I think punish the United Kingdom, punish the By the way, when I talk about the economy and I talk about the markets, it translates to people's energy bills, to people's utility bills, to people's livelihoods. I, you know, again, I refer to that message you read out that that lady whose mom has had to literally uh switch on and off her heating in the middle of winter. Tragic. Uh that is what Milliban would do. The only way if they by the way the question that all journalists have to ask today to any Labor cabinet minister is do you put country ahead of party? If you put country ahead of party you've got to go to a general election. There is no two ways about it because the chaos if he says he's going to depart in September then we're going to live through a lame duck premiership. What is just spare a thought for his majesty the king tomorrow. What does the king say tomorrow that here is my government's program for this whole parliament? They might deliver it. They may deliver it.
What will he say? It is absolutely chaos and it needs to go to general election very quickly to for the nation to decide how they want to be led. They decided that they want K star out. That was Nigel Farah's big message. Vote reform.
Get Star out. They're he's going to go now. the nation will want proper leadership under a reformed government.
>> Listen, great to have you on my friend.
Looking forward to seeing you very soon.
Thank you. Really appreciate it. And even Zahar, we former chancellor of the excheer. What is it? 20 minutes to 8:00.
