Far Left Threat

Morning, and welcome to David Scandal and how many people need to be sacked. Does this cross party infrastructure deal actually mean anything? We got a big win in China for our Apple growers. Mark and Jinny line it up in politics Wednesday. Richard Arnold Steve Price. They're as good as you get from offshore. Welcome to the middle of the week, seven past six now. This Thursday, in fact, tomorrow night. New Zealand time, the new epic centre of British politics will deliver a piece of history and it's worth following. It will elect Britain's next Prime Minister. Trouble with that is no one's voted for him to be Prime Minister unless you can count the Makerfield voter indirectly doing so because they know why they want Andy Burnham to win. And in becoming Prime Minister, he will run the country potentially until 2029. That surely is all the evidence you need to never invite the idea of a five-year term. If Burnham wins, it will make Sakia Starmer one of the most unsuccessful prime ministers of the modern age. A man who in 2024, just in 2024, won the vote with a spectacular majority. Has watched his support evaporate in record time. Liz Trust, the other modern failure of note, of course, picked up the job and never won an election. So Starmer's win then loss is one for the history books. Having been in Britain last week, you can feel its decay. I mean, places like London are still beautiful on a spring day. But the cost of living is ruinous. The illegal migration is a shambles. Race is a major, and maker field is a chance to tell Starmer they're sick of it. Like so much in democracy, Burnham won't change anything, of course. In fact, he'll make it worse. He is of the left of an already left-leaning Labour movement, the same movement that's got Britain into the state it is. But people often don't think through the ramifications of their vote. If they did, Starmer would never have been delivered, the sort of majority that's undone them in record time. And as I say, places like London, they're still great cities, but the tourists, of course, don't live there. They only visit and drink cocktails and marble at the mail in the palace. Those who live there can't afford it. And they're full of resentment over the aforementioned social issues they feel has robbed them of the country they once knew and loved. Which undern all the circumstances would mean reform would win make a field. But the ability to put the knife directly into the Prime Minister and finish him with Andy Burnham is too good to resist. Hence tomorrow, hence history.
