'Britain is in BIG trouble - This isn't democracy' | Patrick Christys reacts as Keir Starmer resigns

The worst prime minister in British history has resigned.Keir Starmer goes in disgrace.But Britain is in big, big trouble.Here is Starmer announcing his resignation.

Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first.That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.

And this went down very well with the British public when they played it out in pubs across the country.

has been about putting the country I love first.That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.

Yes, he went on to try to list his achievements.

Look at what we've achieved in just two years.An economy that is stronger, growing faster than our peers, wages rising faster than inflation in every single month since we came to power, investment secured, infrastructure being built, An end to austerity.

That bloke has got more front than Katie Price.The economy is in the toilet.We've got record youth unemployment.Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs because of him.And he is an absolute joke on the world stage.

Where's the United Kingdom?Where's our friend?Come here.Is everything going good?Very good.It's very nice of you here.

These people all came on, like, 20 -minute notice.

But this is the bit that got me.

When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job, being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad.

Aw, he nearly cried there.He didn't cry after Southport.He didn't cry over Henry Novak.He didn't cry about Rhiannon White.He didn't cry over the Pakistani rape gangs.He didn't cry for farmers or for pensioners or for pub landlords or for children who've had their education ripped away from them thanks to his spiteful VAT hike on private schools.

He didn't cry over the horrific attacks on the Jewish community.No, he just cries for himself.Goodbye, Goodriddance.And Goodriddance, this horrible little man as well.Starmer's great mate and the Attorney General, Lord Hermer, always on the wrong side of history.I believe this man detests all the best things you think our country stands for.

Now he can get back to doing what he does best, representing jihadis, people linked to the IRA, and helping to bring prosecutions against innocent, brave British veterans.Get lost.Look at the way the establishment media fawned over him.Kay Burley.I expected more from him.Why?

Why did you?You didn't bother to hold him to account at all when he got elected.You probably voted for him.Like, like Paul Bremer.down Boris Johnson over Partygate, but didn't seem to care about the unrelenting shower of scandal oozing out of Downing Street for the last two years.It takes huge restraint to give a speech as dignified as that.

Oh, jog on.Seriously, just jog on.Starmer's speech was interrupted by the utter nuisance Steve Bray with his giant speakers.

and national security.

But what was playing was actually Ode to Joy for a while, and Keir Starmer said that was his favourite song.So I don't really see what the problem is there, to be honest.After Starmer resigned, this happened.

Andy Burnham is just arriving into Houston now.He's got a lot of people to meet and a lot of people to talk to.

Andy Burnham got a train from Manchester to London, riding in like Lenin, travelling from exile in Switzerland to mother Russia to lead the revolution.Then this happened.West Streeting, yes, West Streeting, decided to back Andy Burnham to be Labour leader.So it looks like there'll be no contest.More on that in a minute.Andy Burnham arrived in London, which must have been awful for him, because he's northern.

He just likes the north.He just likes chips and gravy, polo tops with jeans and trainers.Then Andy Burnham found a suit, which again, just must have been awful for him.Perhaps he just dusted off an old Armani number from his wardrobe and he was sworn in.

Rome is saved.

Yes, Rome is saved, someone shouted.Look at this.All the Labour MPs, they're grinning like Cheshire cats behind Burnham.Oh, please, sir, please, can I have a cabinet position?

Oh, I love you, Andy.Oh, the king in the north, yay.

Andy Burnham has won 0 .03 % of the national vote.24 ,947 people have just elected our new prime minister, probably.We've had seven prime ministers in 10 years.These are numbers that Tim Pot third world African countries would look at and go, oof, a bit dodgy, that, innit?This is Downing Street, a revolving door of mediocrity, misery and incompetence.And we, we, the British public, are the victims.

This isn't democracy.What we're going to see in Britain in the coming days and weeks is notdemocracy.At least Liz Truss was actually in cabinet when she became PM.Labour manufactured a by -election and parachuted in a bloke who has tried and failed to become Labour leader twice already, who has a bad record in government, and they're going to let him stand unopposed by the looks of things so nobody gets to scrutinise what he actually stands for or what his policies are.Well, here we are.

Labour promised change, they delivered the most chaotic, undemocratic and incompetent government in British history.

Now death can feel like a taboo subject when in reality it's a certainty for all of us.I'm Andrew Pearce and I'm joined by Zach Sullivan who's Managing Director of Simplicity Cremations.How does a Simplicity Cremation funeral plan work?

actually work in practice.The funeral plan ensures that you have arrangements in place for your funeral.It's a direct cremation and that means that when the time comes you're able to make a call to one of our team and they ensure the collection, care and cremation of the individual and then the return of the ashes to the family.And all of this is done with clear and transparent prices by our UK based teams.

So why do you think more families are going down that route of having a much simpler funeral today?

There are a few big drivers.I think people are looking for more simplicity in their lives.There's a big consideration around transparency of pricing and costs and people ultimately are looking for more personalisation.A simplicity cremation allows you to plan the funerals that you wish and allows you to have a separate celebration of life ceremony that better reflects you and your family.

So I want to ask you how you think your funeral plan would benefit people's loved ones.

It removes an awful lot of burden for me.them.It ensures that during what is a very difficult and stressful time, plans are in place, they're not left making decisions which are often very hard and they might not even know how that process works.It also ensures that the costs are all taken care of, alleviates financial pressure so that they can get on with planning the service and the celebration that they really want.

Let's get our thoughts from our panel this evening.We have got Reform UK member Sir Jake Barry, GB News contributor Connie Shaw, and journalist Benjamin Butterworth.So Jake, I'll start with you.Yeah, what do you make of what we've seen today in terms of Keir Starmer's resignation?

Well, I think the public is probably really pleased he's gone.He is the most unpopular man. in politics, in British history.I mean, I just reflect on the fact this is King Charles, or the new prime minister will be King Charles III's fourth prime minister in four years.This element of instability is really bad for our country.And anyone who thinks that Andy Burnham, someone I actually had quite a lot to do with when I was in the cabinet, I was minister in charge of local growth in the north of England.He was a mayor in the north of England.

I like him.He's a really likeable guy.I just don't rate him.I just don't think he's very good.I don't think he makes tough decisions.changes his mind as often as other people change socks.

Andy Burnham isn't going to be the saviour of our country, nor in fact is he going to be the saviour of the Labour Party, despite those hundreds of Labour MPs stood behind him thinking, well their thing is the person who has arrived in Westminster who might help us save our jobs, they don't care about the country.I think it's an extraordinary situation.What we now need is a proper general election.a real opportunity for the British people to have their say.

Yeah, I mean, despite anything good that Labour may have been able to do, such as perhaps the Renters' Rights Bill, I know that many people who rent are happy with that, including many of my own friends.But ultimately, I think the thing that's most shocking about today is that it feels surreal that we're here.For so long, we have been thinking, how long will Starmer be able to hang on for this?And like you were saying earlier, the emotions, the fact that this is the first time that we've seen any real emotion from him, on a human level, I start to feel sorry for him.But also, then that feels really strange, because after the last two years that this country has been put through, it feels very wrong to feel sorry for him, but then the human reaction to feel sorry is also natural.So it almost feels like we're being gaslit, and I don't doubt that obviously it's clearly been a really tough time for him.

But I think Keir Starmer, I mean, it was reported a few days ago that he felt betrayed by people he thought were his allies.So when people have been thinking that surely he's delusional to think that he can carry on, it seemed he really did think up until this point, this point that he could carry on and that his allies would stick by him, but clearly not.And I'm just fearful for what's going to come because I think the people who voted for Andy Burnham, who is simultaneously the anti -reform and anti -Starmer candidate, are not necessarily going to get what they think they might be getting after this.

I mean it could actually seriously be quite interesting to put a bet on as to whether or not at the general election Andy Burnham loses that seat.

Make or break a field.

Yeah, no it could be.It could be.Because that vote was so fickle.There was so much wrapped into it.It was a vote to get Starmer out.It was all of this stuff.

Look, don't get me wrong, he did very well there.He did very well.He got a fantastic result.Reform underperformed.Restore didn't do as well as they said they would.going to do.

Obviously, the Lib Dems aren't at the races there.The Greens aren't either.But it'd be fascinating to see what happens there.Andy Burnham in power for a couple of years, maybe.And I would not be surprised.That is, naturally speaking, really quite a reform area.

But we'll have to watch and see.Benjamin, did you feel sympathy for Keir Starmer?standing there today as he gave his resignation speech?

I feel very flat today if I'm honest because I think that You know, Keir Starmer is a person of decency, of dignity, of discipline.I'm afraid I think your monologue...Is he?Yeah.What's the evidence of that?Well, the evidence, he's a man of extraordinary discipline.

That's one of the reasons why I think he sometimes struggled to be agile as a politician.

You said decency.

Yeah, he's a person of decency.He has...What's the evidence?He has behaved in an honourable way.He has honoured the office.He has...

How?He has been an excellent statesman on the world stage.

Well, you're not actually giving me an example.

Sorry, I've asked you a few times for actual examples of that.I am.He has behaved excellent on the world stage.incredibly difficult allies like Donald Trump.I think he has carried out the responsibilities without degrading them, like people like Liz Truss and Boris Johnson perpetually did.And I think that he is a person that was motivated to go into politics to fix things.

I'm afraid if anyone's not reflecting with decency, it's you to mock him when he talks about the respect he has for his wife and kids, which all politicians are human.

hard -working, law -abiding British citizens for the best part of the last two years.I'm showing him the exact same respect.And if he doesn't like it, then I'm sorry.He should have been a better person.I actually can't see any evidence of him being a decent bloke, to be honest with you, Jack.

So I don't think he's better.I'll just pick you up on one thing, because there's lots I could pick you up on.The idea that he has a good relationship with Donald Trump is for the birds.He has destroyed, in two years, the special relationship with the United States, to the point that Donald Trump, the fatherI couldn't really hear any achievements.He said, I'm going to list my achievements.

And he sort of tailed off.If he had listed his U -turns, you know, winter fuel, farm tax, you know, all of the U -turns that he's done, and all of the people that he'd lost through incompetence and corruption in some cases in government, we'd still be here now.I mean, this by any measure has been a disastrous premiership, both for Keir Starmer and for the Labour Party.This has been a terrible time for Britain.But I'm sorry to tell GB News viewers, I don't think it's going to get better with Burnham.

At 10pm I'm going to be doing a comprehensive round -up of Keir Starmer's time in office.We can go through it all.It's going to take a while but we're going to do it because this guy will be remembered when the history books are written.He'll be remembered terribly and I'm glad about that.Because I don't think this guy likes our country.I just don't.

did.But to say he doesn't love the country, that he has spent six years as Labour leader and two years as Prime Minister, you have degraded politics.You have degraded politics by speaking like that.

He's done more than any of us quite frankly.done much more to prosecute British war heroes.Yes, he has.You're absolutely right.

That's something I'm willing to say that he's done.There are half a million kids being lifted out of poverty.There are people on minimum wage that now have a better chance of paying their bills.There are young people like Connie who now have a better chance of secure homes because of renters' rights.There are 400 ,000 more people unemployed.That is what looking after Britain does.

I'm sorry that your far -right mates and billionaires that are wanting to take over this country through Nigel Farage are not getting a good deal.I don't know any billionaires.has behaved responsibly and respectfully.

He's been terrible.The country is in ashes.The country is not in ashes.The country has problems.We've got 20 % unemployment.We've got 17%, 17%.

We don't have 20 % unemployment.You're wrong.21 % of all people of working age.You're wrong.It's not 20%.It's 21%.

Of all people of working age, All people of working age are currently not in primary education.17 % of young people are unemployed.And you're trumpeting this as some economic miracle.They've crashed the economy.They've destroyed employment.We've never had higher taxes.

This has been a disaster.Good riddance to it.And can I just say, the central problem will not be fixed by changing Prime Minister.You're right.Yeah.And that is the real question that there is today.

Because the problem is left -wing politics and high taxes.Yeah, absolutely.And we're going to be asking that.

Go on.Benjamin, you just gave an excellent example of why this government has been so much of a failure and has become so unpopular, you instantly jumping to smearing Patrick as having far -right friends.

He was smearing the Prime Minister's honour.I'm not.

I'm actually giving a factual account of his timing.My point being is that Keir Starmer, I think, will be remembered as the Prime Minister who had to deal with the moment that multiculturalism combusted.And their response to the combustion of multiculturalism has been to, instead of addressing the problems, to suppress dissent.And having to deal with Southport as immediately as they get into office.their reaction to the rape gangs becoming basically an international focus, and then calling people for wanting a national inquiry, accusing them of jumping on a far -right bandwagon, and then eventually you turning on that.Just the lack of urgent response to the migrant sex attacks we've been seeing, the fact that they have capitulated to the demands of Islam to anti -free speech, the way that they've brought in the Islamophobia definition, and that people, so many more people, when Keir Starmer came into the power of the FSU it had 14 ,000 members, we now have over 45 ,000 members and that is evident of the fact that this government is particularly authoritarian and they have done exactly what you have just done there by shaming people for criticising them and that is what this government has been about, by suppressing dissent rather than tackling the issues.
