I see someone has got over a million signatures on the parliamentary e-petition page to have another general election. Probably a kipper/Brexit/Reform type.

Clarkson is a buffoon willing to do anything for publicity. Starmer reflects the same politics as Blair.
"Tony Blair MP" aptly being an anagram of, "I', m Tory Plan B."

Look beyond who's saying it and listen to the message he's saying. It's not about Clarkson. He just reaches masses others do not.

In reply to Richard Haselgrove's message of 24 Nov 2024:
... We don't do coalition governments, even during wartime.

Not at all true.

The UK was governed by a coalition government from May 1915 until Oct 1922, first with Herbert Asquith as Prime Minister, succeeded by David Lloyd-George.

Ramsay MacDonald's minority, sustained in office from June 1929 to Aug 1931 with Liberal support, finally collapsed and was replaced by a "national administration", that is a coalition including members of all parties seated in the Commons. From then on, until Clement Atlee won a majority in the 1945 general election, the UK was governed by a coalition administration.
