"Get out of my pub!" 😂😂😂
Not the majority's prime minister.
No it won't get COVID again
Beware. When he takes his glasses off he calls himself Nigel.
His face has a lock up Ur daughters but Ur sons can come out to play😂
Step 1: Answer no questions.
Step 2: a massive help from the Conservatives being dogshit.
Step 3: Get less votes than Corbyn
Step 4: Act like you’re incredible and and it’s a landslide in spite of the worst turnout in 20 years.
Just finished watching question time and it looks like the plan is:
1. Tax everyone into oblivion while saying you’re not.
2. Blame everything on Reform
3. Panic when the Pro Palestine mob comes for you.
well the maggots are in the corpse now!
The blind faith people still have in government is blinding.
Let's see what he can do…..then I'll make a judgement 👍
The thumbnail really upset me of kier – its was exactly what my grandfather looked like when they found him dead in his kitchen. Rigor Mortis had set in.
A MERE INCREASE OF +1,7% OVER CORBYN:
– Despite the economic crisis
– Despite the massive plummeting of tories -19,9%
– Despite these elections being hailed as a "landslide" victory
[P.S. Fix the majority electoral and party system already, make it proportional, make every vote count equally, proportionally, one person one vote]
All i hear is gone…gone…gone….gone…..
Change for the worse we will all find out soon enough
Voting is just an illusion of choice it’s makes no difference to whom ever you vote for it’s all just a big con
Nothing to do with the fact non British citizens being given a vote then? It's a joke, I've never seen a less qualified cabinet, identify politics and diversity hires.
He looks like england cricketer
United Kingtom return to the European Union 🇪🇺 and Join the Schengen area.🙏✌️🥳☺️
Why do these kinds of vids attract crying right-wing comments?
He won by default. The backing of the country is not there, we wait to see if he can do it or if he is as useless as the traitorous Tories. More of the same, but possibly a bit worse, I suspect.
nothing happens priorly unplanned
Starmer will be the worst prime minister ever
Hopefully rishi had to get an user home from the Palace as he's a civilian again 😂
To for more broken promises
Watch how half the conservatives will pretend to be decent people from now on.
The other half will go even harder. 😂
Normies have no idea that labour is new world order
No matter the party, the British politicians have a high standard.
By not telling everyone their plans!! We officially now have a Giant Tool as a Prime Minister! Almost as embarrassing on the world stage as having Biden as leader! Hilariously wet and usless!
