Keir Starmer to be new prime minister as Rishi Sunak concedes defeat
Story by David Hughes
The Evening Standard
July 4, 2024

Sir Keir Starmer will be the UK's next prime minister after Rishi Sunak
admitted defeat in the face of a Labour landslide.

The Prime Minister said voters had delivered a "sobering verdict" on
his party after 14 years in power.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said people around the country had
declared they were "ready for change".

In his acceptance speech after retaining his Richmond and Northallerton
seat, Mr Sunak said: "The Labour Party has won this General Election
and I have called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory."

Mr Sunak added: "Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and
orderly manner with goodwill on all sides.

"And it's something that should give us all confidence in our country's
stability and future.

"The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is
much to learn... and I take responsibility for the loss. To the many
good, hard-working Conservative candidates who lost tonight, despite
their tireless efforts, their local records and delivery, and their
dedication to their communities. I am sorry."

Well at least one major country in the Western world has come to its senses.

This is probably a repudiation of
Brexit as much as the Conservatives who
championed it. What a disaster.

And I heard Starmer say he isn't going near it again.

This is probably a repudiation of
Brexit as much as the Conservatives who

The French seem to be on the verge of repudiating their recent right wing swing as well.
Italy remains governed by neo Fascists and in Germany the immigration crisis has pushed
the government to the right as well.

But there is still good news for Ukraine:

Yep. Been expecting this election result since the day I heard Brexit had passed. I knew
the conservatives were going to screw up the UK economy with Brexit and they have.
Unemployment, inflation twice ours, stagnant growth, everything cons claim libs do to
damage an economy, cons just did in the UK. Kinda like the cons ran our economy off a
cliff in 2007.

It just goes to show that voters are focused on the past. The UK's inflation
rate is now 2% per year, under ours. It began rising sharply in Feb 2021,
peaking at 11.1% in Oct 2022, and then began falling just as sharply ever since.

Because *all* developed economies began experiencing steep increases in
inflation in 2021-2022, the rise in inflation in the UK can hardly be laid at
the feet of Brexit.

It isn't only the inflation. It's underemployment and a stagnant economy. Underfunded
public services and a weak national defense brought into sharp relief by the war in
Ukraine have also been major issues.

From AP: "The new government faces huge challenges, including fixing the country’s
sluggish economic and social malaise resulting in part from Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic,
the war in Ukraine and several Conservative Party scandals."

Trump will be The Lone Ranger when it comes to the West not helping
Ukraine so if Putin overruns them and that "WW3" Trump is always
hyperventilating about comes there's nobody to blame but Donald J.
Trump.
