The big difference is that in an aeroplane, whoever is pilot flying, the route stays the same. In politics I suppose it ought to change.

In aviation, pilots are taught "crew resource management". It means that they have to take account of suggestions and warnings from the crew. I may be wrong but I don't see Starmer as applying that, he's more of an autocrat.

The elections results are telling. Labour has lost heavily to Reform. Unfortunately it didn't happen here, Green Party won control locally, labour lost 2/3 of its councillors. I despair.

Labour lost the Muslim vote despite all the sucking up to them. Not quite true though as the other main portion of the Greens are the Marxists who deserted Labour as they now see better prospects in the Greens since Corbyn got his marching orders. Not sure how many tree huggers they have but probably not many compared to the main party constituents.

Labour seem to have suffered most but the Tories lost almost  as many as they took bit did apparently make a few gains too.

Once the islamists get ensconced they will ditch the boob whisperer and that silly women who dances about  with weirdos on the stage .

As in Birmingham where the newly elected independant coalition ( or what ever it's rename is ) celebrated in the presence of all men and speaking Urdu .

The country is going down the toilet, like I would never have thought possible in all my years.

Yes, it certainly is, thanks to the so-called 'Two Main Parties'.  The damage really began with Bliar and Brown, and then a series of Tory PMs.  The serious deterioration has now begun under TwoTier.  Unfortunately, he and his party could continue their 'work' for another three years, during which I can see absolutely no recovery.

I am glad that I am the age I am, and have no responsibility for any children.

The whole thing is a mess; the PM dare not call an election now, but he needs 
to be replaced.
But by whom?

I see Starmer has brought Gordon Brown in to help, the man who sold off UK gold cheaply...

Fryingpan/fire.

Andy Burnham.   If they can't find him a seat, they'll move for him via the House of Lords.   watch this space !
