THE UK’s right-wing media is musing on their role in deposing a prime minister enjoying record unpopularity for a more popular and more left-wing one.
Newspapers wholly dedicated to putting Nigel Farage in charge of the country have forced out Keir Starmer, who was determined to cling to power despite nobody thinking he was any good, and given a widely-liked man three years to have a go.
Telegraph journalist Denys Finch Hatton said: “Hmm. Now let me just think through why this is a triumph for us.
“Labour in chaos, we can certainly say that, though with Streeting backing Burnham it all looks rather orderly. Prime minister nobody voted for? I worry 2022 is too fresh in the memory.
“Obviously the demonisation of Burnham begins now but we have lost two years of solid work. Also now Starmer’s associated with all the unpopular economic decisions he made at the start and Burnham gets to benefit from when they start bearing fruit.
“There’s no-one left to replace Kemi because Jenrick’s gone to Reform, Reform’s less popular for him being there, Restore’s splitting the nutter vote and a national debate about how shit Brexit’s been is looming. Yeah. Have we f**ked this?
“Let’s get back to basics. Put that BBC show about the rise of the Nazis on and we’ll take notes, then do it how Adolf did.”
