Getting rid of Starmer and Rachel Reeves

As predicted, Labour lost the election in Wales, coming third.  Reform UK did very well, coming in second, though some argue that tactical voting meant that many loaned their vote to Plaid Cymru.  Labour are going to keep losing elections until it has managed to show that it can make the nation better.  I understand that many want the party to be more radical, but Labour was left a flaming turd of an economy by the Tories.

No Labour MP wants to cut benefits for the elderly, no Labour MP wants to bring about benefit changes that will mean even more people use foodbanks.  But hard decisions have to be made.  Labour have missed out over a year of blaming the Tories for the state of the economy and the public sector, something the Tories did really well after they were elected in 2010.  

Labour have been terrible and stating what they have done for the nation, but few will believe them now.  Few politicians would be able to get the Trump Tariff rate that Starmer has without giving up a lot more. The only way I can see Labour remaining in power in the next General Election is to stick with Starmer and Rachel Reeves and deliver on change to improve our nation.  

A change of leader would indicate a change in the economic path that the UK is following.  Doing so would scare the markets, and that would mean even larger debt repayments.  I would rather that the money I pay in taxes went to helping our nation as opposed to going to bank shareholders.
