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. |

Jeremy Clarkson Just Destroyed Keir Starmer On Live TV Call for elections at 2.9 million. |

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. |
