Love freedom for kingdom.

SPEAKER_02 0:23

Good afternoon, welcome back to Flat Cap Nationalist Podcast. This is episode 17. The King is dead. Long live the King. No, not King Charles, old sausage fingers. He's still alive and kicking for the time being. But er will be, of course, referring to Kirstormer's resignation and the same incoronation of the next leader, Andy Burnham. A little bit of housekeeping before we get into the meat of the episode. So you will have noticed I've added a little bit from a Winston Churchill speech to the beginning of the podcast, in which he says, God save the King. Now, as a Catholic, I'm allowed to sing God Save the King. In good faith, in good conscience. It's not contrary to Catholic teaching to say so. You know, uh with regards to King Charles himself, I personally despise the bloke. I think he's weak. I think he's overseen the further destruction of the Church of England. And he insists on pandering to Islam and proclaims himself the defender of all faiths instead of defender of the faith. Yeah, but in this context, God Save the King refers to the office. And I I I believe one of the good things about the monarchy, because I'm yeah, a bit of a tepid monarchist. One of the good things about the monarchy is it's a supposedly politically neutral post that keeps the church, Christ, and God at the centre. So it's a good way for Christianity to remain in the public discourse. And there's also economic benefits, and uh, you know, uh it's good for social cohesion and transition of governments and the like. So um yeah, I have no great affinity for this particular monarch or the monarchy in general, but uh as a nod to tradition, God save the king. Also, as a Catholic, I I pray for every Christian, regardless of denomination, I pray for the salvation of everybody that believes in Christ as King. So there's that. I also wanted to address my use of Ode to Joy at the end of the episode. Now, I understand it's the anthem of the EU, which by the way, when they put out an official video for it, they really went out of their way to showcase the best of Europe. You know, they were showing the uh the oranges of Spain and the the beautiful architecture and uh and you know showing off uh I think it was an Ibanez guitar, which is a Spanish guitar. You know, but they they really went out of their way to showcase the best that Europe has to offer. And you'll notice a conspicuous absence of North Africans and Middle Easterners in that video, which uh always struck me as particularly funny. But the reason I'm you I use it, uh I I despise the EU as an institution. I love Europe as a continent, but I despise the EU. But O to Joy is a beautiful bit of music composed by one of the greatest European musicians of all time, and simply by virtue of it being the anthem of the EU, I don't think we should be abandoning beauty, yeah, an achievement. So think of it as a kind of reclamation project, taking the music back from the EU. So for this one, I thought we could just have a bit of a look at Keir Starmer's resignation speech. I'm sure many of you will be over the moon to know that he's stepping down. Um yeah, the king is dead, long live the king. The new guy, Burnham, he's gonna be more of the same, isn't he? He's not really gonna implement any massive changes to the agenda. It's largely gonna be a continuation project. Um I may be proven wrong on that one, but uh I don't think so somehow. I know there's a lot of people expecting big changes from Burnham, you know, and to embark upon a path of Manchesterism, yeah, implementing a lot of the things that he's done to Manchester on a nationwide scale, which he'll quickly find out that he's unable to do. Yeah, he's been able to inject large amounts of cash into Manchester for you know public transport and and things like that. But that's money that came from Westminster, and it'll soon find out he will not be able to do this on a national scale, particularly as the bond markets aren't a fan of him, and he's not a fan of the bond markets. But the IMF warned Andy Burnham that if he spent the money that he's intending to spend, that they would have to declare Britain uh insolvent, and we would be in major need of a bailout. So I really don't think there's going to be all that much change when Burnham takes over from Starmer, who is stepping down, I believe, on the 20th of July. But let's have a listen to the uh what is hopefully the last big speech that this Crescent ever delivers. Oh, I thought I'd get a few more seconds into that before having to stop it through a little bit of commentary. Who the hell is cheering and applauding and whooping for Keir Starmer? This must be the first time since the election that he's received such applause, no? But we all know the crowd outside Downing Street when he gave this speech would have been stocked full of handpicked lefties and sycophants. Yeah, to make it look like he's some kind of important, beloved figure, you know. Uh never mind the fact that uh the majority of the country was cheering when this twat stepped down, but let's carry on. Well there you go. That's how you know it's fighting. Look, look, look at that. That's what 15, 20 seconds of uninterrupted applause for this man. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment of my life. A new Labour government.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

A new Labour government. Fantastic. It was such a thing to be proud of.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

First in 14 years.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

First in 14 years, and for very good reason.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

A page in our country's history turned after years of disappointment and despair.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

Disappointment and despair that you rapidly ramped up to the mat.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

The chance to change the lives of millions of people for the better.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Which you did not do comprehensively. Also, first time I heard this speech, I thought that music playing in the background. I thought it was Starmer giving himself a soundtrack, you know, like he's writing his own movie in real time. I really thought that's what it was, but apparently it was a uh an anti-Brexit uh protester playing the anthem of the EU. Now that man himself, he's I can't remember his name, some Welsh guy. But he uh he claims it was because somebody else was trying to heckle. So he he was trying to be respectful to the Prime Minister. But um yeah, I really did. I thought I thought Stom was giving himself a soundtrack here.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

That's what I came into politics for. The journey to that point was not easy. Six years ago, I inherited a Labour Party that was politically, financially, and morally bankrupt.

SPEAKER_02 7:44

Yes, and what have you done to improve that? You know, you'll see, I'm sorry to keep interrupting, but you will see this entire speech is full of self-aggrandisement and this kind of unfaltering belief in the good that he's achieved for his party and his country. And it's uh well, you you'll see for yourself, it's just a pack of lies.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

I was told time and time again that my party was finished, that we were consigned to history, that a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

Um, let's not forget, people, the only reason, the only reason this guy was able to win a landslide election was because of the catastrophic failures of the Tory government before him. Yeah, the whole zero seats campaign to get the Tories out to finish them, that's what paved the way for this guy, yeah, to come in and win the election. Because off his own merit, of his own, you know, non-existent charm and uh you know his disgusting pseudo-commie plans for this country, nobody would have voted for. He had an incredibly low voter turnout, and uh, even of the ones that that voted in that election, I think only one in three of them voted for him. So, in total, less than 20% of the country wanted this guy in charge. Yeah. Less than one in five gave approval for this guy. And look at all the things that he's done with it. This is why I refer to him as the king, because this guy's came in and he's acted like a dictator. Yeah. While claiming to be, you know, the the figurehead of democracy.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

But we proved those people wrong because we changed our party. Ripping out the poison of anti-Semitism, restoring trust on the economy.

SPEAKER_02 9:43

Trust on the economy. You have crushed it. You took it from the fastest growing economy of the G7 to the slowest. Nobody's better off underneath you. Um let me just take this back as well, because he mentioned something else that I think is important.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

But we proved those people wrong. Because we changed our party, ripping out the poison of anti-Semitism, restoring trust for the economy, defence and national security.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

Did you hear that? Defence. Defence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you not just lose two of the highest ranking military members? Uh did you not just lose them because they were disappointed with the fact that you were underfunding them? You were you promised them a certain amount in increased funding and you delivered a fraction of that. Yeah, also let's not forget the sorry state of affairs, when it came to sending the Navy, you know, the the one sustained Royal Navy, you know, that made sure that Britannia ruled the waves, when it came time to dispatch to Cyprus, how long did it take? How long did it take to get one ship there? And did that ship not break down on the way? So let's not pretend, let's not pretend that you've you've done anything for defence and national security. And also, the fact you've let in so many unvetted people across the channel who've gone on to commit horrendous crimes, don't know. You ask the nation how secure they're feeling.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

And becoming a party that once again stood proudly with, not against, our national flag.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

You hear that. It's hard to believe that this is a serious speech. You know, our national flag. Yeah, proud. Proud to fly it, really, because you've been going after Patriots for flying the flag the entire time that you've been in. Yeah, the fact that the uh the flagging campaign, raising the colours, that occurred under your watch. Yeah, that's that's not your doing. We were proud to fly that flag, but you've actually set police officers against us. I think it's in uh Oxford now. You're not actually allowed to fly our national flag. Never mind the fact that it's you know a World Cup year, you cannot fly the England flag in Oxford. Yeah, and you are paying councils to go out and remove English British flags. Yeah. So you you've stood next to that flag every time you've made a speech to to put across this idea that you're some kind of patriot that loves his country. But we all know the truth. You know, when you were asked, would you rather go into a British pub or a bar in Davos? You chose Davos, and you you will choose Davos and the World Economic Forum and the EU and all of these institutions, you will choose them over us every single time. So don't try and pretend to be some kind of patriot, because we all know what you are. A pseudo comi traitor.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

The hard work of change was with a singular purpose. Not power for power's sake, but to change Britain for the better.

SPEAKER_02 12:55

And what exactly has improved? Well, I cannot think of a single thing that has gotten better since Stalmer came into power. Uh let's see what he thinks about it.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

To build a fairer country with dignity and respect.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

Where's the dignity? Where's the respect? I don't understand this fella.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Where everyone is seen. Everyone is valued. Wealth an opportunity for all, not just the privileged fruit.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

Right. Yeah, I'm I'm struggling to buy this, and I'm tired of laughing. I'm tired of laughing at this guy's speech. Where's the wealth? Nobody's doing well here. You know, that you've chased the wealth out of the country with your ridiculous tax policies. You've chased so many millionaires out of the country. They've taken all of the taxes that they pay and all the employment that they provide. You know, unemployment has skyrocketed under a Labour government, the same as it always does. Where's the wealth exactly? Everybody has seen you didn't say everybody has heard though, did you? You know, it would be a very hard point to argue that. When you got, for example, the what is it, the Epping Hotel, Migrant Hotel, and people protested to get it closed down. And initially, yeah, okay, it was granted, yeah, you can close that hotel down. But then the judge reversed that decision, yeah, or another judge came in and overturned the decision because he didn't want to give the impression that protesters are being listened to. Oh, yeah, okay, let's carry on.

SPEAKER_00 14:42

And look at what we've achieved in just two years. An economy that is stronger, growing faster than our peers. Wages rising faster than inflation in every single month since we came to power. Investment secured, infrastructure being built. An end to austerity with the fastest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years.

SPEAKER_02 15:16

Okay, an end to austerity. Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean, I I'd say it's pretty austere, wouldn't you, that uh people are being restricted from heating their homes in the winter. That seems pretty austere to me. Yeah. An end to austerity, by the way, just means massive public spending. Yeah, and uh and largely in areas that didn't need it, you know, like billions spent on carbon capture or billions sent over to Africa to help them farm. You know, or the miracle of the Rwandans being able to grow tea for the first time. Could not care less about that. Also, may have escaped your notice, but we're currently in a heat wave that's been absolutely roasting. I've seen a lot of Americans saying, well, why don't you just get air conditioning? Well, there's a huge shortage of it. You've also got councils under environmental policies basically forcing people to rip out air conditioning units. And if you so much as dare to use your car to try and cool down using the air conditioning, and you're stationary, ooh, £110 fine coming your way. Austerity is not just you know measured by what the government is cutting back on spending, yeah, it's also in the lifestyles that you're permitting. And so living on a narrow boat, I'm tightly controlled on what I am and I'm not allowed to burn. Yeah, these people are now wanting to come after space heaters also, you know, electric powered space heaters for environmental reasons. I I I wanted to burn peat during the winter because it's cheap, it's warm, it's long lasting, and it's very easy. But no no no, not allowed to do that. Here we have people who come around to the marinas to check what we're burning. Yeah, this it's not quite the on end to austerity that you claim it to be. You know, I say it's not purely measured, in my mind at least, in what the government is and is not spending and what they are and are not spending that money on, but also in the lifestyles that they are permitting. And when they're making it harder to keep yourself warm in the winter and harder to keep yourself cool in the summer, that seems pretty austere to me.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

Let's carry on. The biggest improvement in rights for workers and renters in a generation.

SPEAKER_02 17:34

Doesn't mention that those renters' rights absolutely destroy any motivation to be a landlord whatsoever. You know, because you can uh as a renter, you can stop paying rent to your landlord for stupid reasons. Yeah, like uh my my dad was a landlord, and he had a tenant that insisted on keeping a tumble dryer in the living room uh without a vent, uh no ventilation. So it of course sent the walls rotten. And he came round and he spent the money to repair it, put it right, and he told them categorically, you cannot have that tumble dryer in the living room, that's what's causing this. He goes to uh collect the rent again, and uh yeah, they've they've still got it in there, still got the tumble dryer in there, and everything is rotten, the entire flat, nice flat, but the entire thing, kitchen, doors, walls, you name it, all rotten. And because it was rotten, they stopped paying rent. And you're not allowed to just evict people. Oh no, no, no, no, no, they've got rights. So he had to wait X amount of money, I think it was about eight months of not paying rent before he could even begin the eviction process. He then had to pay the bailiffs to go and evict them, had to pay for all the damage that they'd inflicted. Uh none of none of this was covered. This all had to come out of his pocket. And these these are the kind of renters' rights that disincentivize people from being landlords. And this has a knock-on effect, is it's very detrimental to the rental market. Now, the rental market, this government looks at landlords that rent properties, they look at them as exploitative. No, no, I don't doubt there probably are some out there. But the beauty of the rental market is it means that people can go and live in their own space while they try and save up to buy a house, which you know, they are extortionately priced, which means that the mortgages are enormous, which means that the rents are high now. Yeah, so so they they cause a problem, and they implement a solution that just makes things worse for everybody by disincentivising people from being landlords and providing rental space. There are fewer and fewer properties available for people to rent, you know, while they are trying to save to get a mortgage to get themselves onto uh onto the property ladder. So this causes naturally, you know, supply and demand, rent to increase. It's not difficult to understand. But uh, you know, if if if lefties understood economics, there wouldn't be lefties, would they? Let's carry on.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

The biggest uplift in defence spending since the Cold War.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Yes, and ministers resigned because you severely undercut what you promised to give them.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

Small boat crossings falling.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Technically, yes. Yeah, they are 40% down on where they were last year, you know, year to date. But uh, we've not exactly had the weather for it, have we? Yeah, the weather up to the this heat wave, this year the weather has been fairly diabolical. You know, so you can't take credit for that. And also, the previous two years, 2024-2025, though they were some of the highest years for boat crossings. You know, you you cannot claim credit for making the problem, you know, fall, the the number of crossings fall, while you also oversaw an increase. Now, I'm not even necessarily saying that the increase in boat crossings is Starmer's fault because it's out of our control. And this is what's got people so pissed off about the whole situation, is it's a total failure to control our borders. But let's not pretend it is some kind of you know genius move that Starmer's implemented that has caused boat crossings to fall. Because this this is simply not true.

SPEAKER_00 21:21

Asylum hotels closing.

SPEAKER_02 21:23

Yes, closing hotels because you are putting them into public housing. You are putting these people right into the communities. And even as we speak, you are trying to get it put through to install them on military bases instead. There's one little village, I think it was in Somerset, 800 people, and they want to put over 3,000 illegal immigrants there on a military base. You know, so they'll they'll be outnumbered by you know four to one. That's not even one victim each, is it? Yeah, so that uh again, this is not an achievement, this is sleight of hand. Again, we see that sort of spreadsheet smoke screen. Yeah, we'll move the numbers from this. Column to that column, and suddenly this column looks a lot brighter, right?

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Protecting young people from social media.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

But not from rapey boat migrants.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

And half a million children being lifted out of poverty because of the choices that I made.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Everybody's standard of living is going down. More and more people are being dropped into poverty. You've raised taxes that have eliminated pay rises for private sector workers, pushing them closer towards poverty as you know the cost of living continues to increase constantly. You know, you promise to bring energy bills down. The policies you've implemented are driving them up and up and up. Yeah, so you you are not tackling poverty with anything that you've done.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

Our reputation in the world restored.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

You're having a laugh, mate. We are an absolute laughing stock under your stewardship. The world is aware of just what a weak, quisling traitor you are. And the fact that we put up with politicians like Keith Stormer, we are currently a laughing stock on the world stage. I don't know where this guy gets you know gets his ideas from. The amount of times he's been snubbed by other leaders at different summits, it's hilarious. This man is a joke.

SPEAKER_00 23:21

With Britain once again standing up for decency, respect, and the rule of law.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

Yeah, yeah, okay. I don't even know what to say to this one at this point. Has anything the man has said so far? Yeah, we're we're just over three minutes into his speech. Sorry to keep interrupting, guys. But has he said anything truthful so far?

SPEAKER_00 23:48

Securing trade deals, standing with Ukraine.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

I'm sorry, I'm not particularly interested in standing with Ukraine. You know, there's a whole topic for another day, but uh essentially Ukraine's leadership, they they provoked an invasion. Yeah, same as they did in 2014 by constantly trying to get into the EU and NATO and making noises about you know forming alliances that they swore at the fall of the Soviet Union they wouldn't do because it would effectively allow American boots to be on the Russian border. So Ukraine takes actions that provoke things, and then you know, and I I feel for the Ukrainian people, I really do, because they had no say in this. But I'm not particularly interested in standing with Ukraine. I I'm just not, you know, particularly when you know we're we're at a time where our armed forces are underfunded, understaffed. We have a tiny military, and this twat wants to make noises about, you know, military intervention and provoking the Russian bear. This is not you know good leadership. Um particularly when he's done everything he can, the same as the Labour Party always does, trying to crush patriotism and smear any patriot as a far-right thug, these are the same people he's going to appeal to to go and fight Russia if the time ever comes. So standing with Ukraine, yeah, that that doesn't really hold much water with me.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

Adding up for our values and rebuilding our relationship with our allies in Europe.

SPEAKER_02 25:19

Yeah, we don't want that. We don't want to rebuild relationships with allies in Europe because that means pulling closer to the EU, which we voted against. We don't want that. Yeah, no, I love, I love Europe. There's many great countries in Europe, but the EU as a political entity, I despise it.

SPEAKER_00 25:36

Change promised by a Labour government, change fought for by a Labour government, change delivered by a Labour government.

SPEAKER_02 25:46

No changes for the better. As far as I can see, no changes for the better under a Labour government.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

But I know the question being asked now is not who was best placed to change the Labour Party, to take us into power and to begin the vital work of improving lives for millions of people.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

The only people whose lives have been improved by this government are people overseas who've had billions sent to them. Yeah, oh, and also, you know, Starmer in his cabinet as well. Yeah, they've they've enriched themselves to the tune of millions, they've been given so many gifts, it's it's laughable. Yeah, and he he still wants to stand at this election moralising to us. Despicable.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

Those questions have been answered. The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.

SPEAKER_02 26:46

They're not asking that question. They've already answered that question. The whole country has answered that question, and the majority of the world could answer that question.

SPEAKER_00 26:57

I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.

SPEAKER_02 27:08

Good grace, you quisling traitor.

SPEAKER_00 27:12

Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the summer recess. In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September. I will remain in post as Prime Minister until the contest is complete, and I will do everything I can to ensure an orderly handover of power.

SPEAKER_02 28:05

Yeah. See what I mean? It's always how great he is, how gracious he is, uh and the respect that he has for this country, you know, and the love he has for his country, the country that he loves. No, I I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I've never bought this idea that you're some kind of patriot. No matter how many times you try to label actual patriots as plastic patriots, you've never done anything for the betterment of this country. Okay, you've never done that. Even going back to your days as a lawyer, you you the only cases you would take for free were when you could fly off around the world, you know, to Jamaica or some other shit and try and get rapists and paedophiles and terrorists off of the death penalty. Yeah, Starmall was known as the man to go to if you had some kind of terrorism offence. He was the guy that could get the best possible outcome for you. And then years later, when he's the Prime Minister, hey, he's gonna welcome you into the country.

SPEAKER_00 29:02

I will also give my successor my full and unequivocal support. No.

SPEAKER_02 29:09

Your full support is worth nothing. You are a nothing person. Yeah, once you've stepped down, you you'll have no influence in this country anymore. You are the most hated and worthless Prime Minister we have ever had.

SPEAKER_00 29:23

That they will inherit a Britain that is far stronger and fairer than the one I inherited two years ago.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

Does anybody believe this?

SPEAKER_00 29:31

I'm sorry, but better prepared for the challenges ahead and better able to ensure the Labour Party secures a second term in office. I want to thank all of those friends and colleagues who have been at my side for these past six years or so for their incredible commitment, service, and support.

SPEAKER_02 29:56

You have no friends, Starmer. Nobody, nobody likes you, nobody cares about you, even your own family despise you. It's written all over their faces. You know, I mean, rumour has it that your family haven't even been living with you for the longest time. Yeah, this is a family that you only acquired to further your political career. You knew you could go further if you could portray yourself as some kind of family man. So there's that.

SPEAKER_00 30:25

I want to thank the brilliant number 10 staff and our country's extraordinary civil service who dedicate their lives to public service.

SPEAKER_02 30:35

Our civil service is packed full of traitors just like you. Uh we despise them. They are the worst things happening to this country. The civil service needs absolutely gutting, decimating, destroying. It really does. Every issue plaguing us today can trace itself back to the civil service and fabian leaders like Keir Starmer.

SPEAKER_00 30:57

And when I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job. Being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad, and being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

Now, if you really, really wanted to be a good husband and a good father, you wouldn't have become the most despised man in Britain by going against everything this country stands for, by going against everything good about our country, our nation. You wouldn't have done that. Yeah. The Starmer name is forever tainted because of your actions and the way you chose to conduct yourself in public office. Yeah, the way you chose to set yourself in opposition to anything good and patriotic. You did that, you destroyed the legacy of your family. Yeah, the Starmer name will live in infamy because of you, Keir Starmer.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_02 32:08

Fuck off. Well, that was cheerful, wasn't it? I wanted to have a bit of fun with that, but uh does it not? Just boil your piss and your bladder. To hear that man self-aggrandising, you know, looking over his premiership with rose-tinted glasses, you know, congratulating himself, patting himself on the back, no mention of the catastrophic failure that his party has represented. The the division that he has shown, the the things that he has tried to implement against anybody's wishes, you know, I it's it's absolutely laughable, isn't it? Even in his exit speech, there's just so much there to make you see why we hate him. There's no humility about the man. Even when he tries to be humble, it comes across as fake, insincere, and arrogant. You know, he he tries to be relatable, he tries to portray himself as a family man. And it just comes up to me at least, I don't know about you guys, but it comes across as incredibly insincere. And it's kind of towards the end, his voice started breaking, he started crying, you know, and it it's the way that AI will display emotion if commanded to. You know, th there's no genuine feeling with this guy. This is a guy who said, you know, he doesn't dream, he doesn't have a favourite book, he doesn't, you know, none of that stuff. He's not a real human being, and he's trying to portray real genuine human emotion. You know, where where were the the these tears? If they are to be believed as genuine, these are tears he is shedding for himself and for the fact that he knows he has dragged his own name through the mud. That was his slogan, oh my father was a toolmaker. And we know Kir, because he made you, didn't he? But you've sullied his name. You've sullied the name of your father, of your children, uh even of people with the surname Starmer that aren't related to you. You know, there's a transport company, Tony Starmer Transport. Anybody that drives for them, this is not aimed at you, but I I see the name Starmer written large on the side of the trucks, and I just think, fuck off. You know, and that's wrong with me, but uh, you know, I I hope you get a flat tire or that uh the air suspension in your seat, you know, uh uh malfunctions, so you have to ride along in miscomfort and all that because you bear the name Starmer. Yeah, that that's this man's legacy. And I have no doubt he's gonna swan off and do the usual political circuit, you know, where he goes around the world charging an exorbitant fee for for giving pathetic speeches. Yeah, because the the man's a charisma vacuum, isn't he? There's there's no genuine character there because he's not a genuine person. Well, I'm I'm still not convinced that he's not just made up of circuit boards. Even in his resignation speech, even when he's getting emotional, emotional, talking about his family, talking about you know, you know, leaving this great office, the biggest job in the country, he still can't manage to sound like a normal human being. And I for one would be very, very glad to see the back of him. I know there's a lot of people with high hopes for Burnham. There's a lot of people with massive concerns about Burnham, but I I largely think it's going to be a continuation project. You know, um maybe, maybe they call a snap election riding high on this sort of faux popularity coming about from Starmer stepping down. And maybe that gives them, you know, gives Burnham, a Burnham Premiership, five years to do the job. Because as it stands, there's just over three years left until the next general election. Maybe they call an early election. And maybe they win that election, and if so, we're gonna need some serious help because five years of Burnham, you know, continuation of this regime for five more years. Unbelievable. But uh I don't think they'll do that. I I I think there's enough pragmatism about the Labour Party to know how despised and unpopular they are. You know, never mind the fact they won massively up in Makerfield. I think they know nationwide they are despised. And you know, with a bit of luck, this will be the last Labour government ever. And we can put that down as Keir Stormer's legacy. So uh yeah, sorry there's not all that much meat on this one. I can't count the number of times I've just laughed or uh you know made a doubtful sound. But um that's Stormer's resignation speech. Good riddance, bad rubbish, catch you on the next one. Goodbye.
