'You can guess what happened next. Less than 75 minutes later and, er, Attal had offered his resignation as Prime Minister. Whoops!' ✍️ Steerpike

Who can be PM?
*Even if you try hard!
You can't be Prime Minister!
*Earlier also many people tried!
To become Prime Minister!
They couldn't become!
Since it was not in their destiny!
*It is pre-decided!
Who will be next PM!
It was written!
When he took birth!
*Even if you don't try!
But it was written!
When you took birth!
Then no one can prevent!
*Nature will get it done!
From you to become PM!
Even if you don't want to be!
And you will have to do!
*Hence don't try to be PM!
Take example from past!
Veterans of political life, those who have seen up close how leaders wrestle with such dilemmas, say a prime minister's decision to step down often comes down to two things: how likely they are to win again, and whether they accomplished their goals.
Larry, the UK's "chief mouser," waited with press to welcome Britain's new prime minister. This will be the fifth prime minister the famous feline has lived alongside, as he belongs to the staff at 10 Downing Street. CNN's Nic Robertson explains why Larry often steals the limelight.

This country is warped and statistics tell you everything.
40.1% of voting population are so disillusioned they didn’t even turn up to vote
Labour represent 35% and hold a majority whilst 65% voted against Labour but hold very few seats
Reform got 3.9 million votes and got 4 seats, liberals got 3.4 million but got 61 seats.
Reform held 16.9% of voting turnout whilst Labour held 35% and yet one has four seats and the other has 410. How is this representing people. This is a flawed system and shows how corrupt the media aligned with this system really is. Proportional representation would have seen at least 104+ seats for reform more than the liberals and half of Labour vote.
This is why 40% don’t vote at all - because the system is floored or people are just so disillusioned by the this country they see no need to.
My son voted yesterday and he thought he was voting on who would be in power - local and regional voting systems are dated back to when there were lords of the manor and peasants only had a right to express themselves in that area. Britain is digitally connected and people should be voting for a house that represents the voting population - it ensures we all get a say. Instead all those votes that cry out to be heard are now silenced by a left wing minority
For Sir Keir Starmer, the hard part is about to begin. Here are some of the significant events and challenges facing Britain’s new prime minister in his first 100 days in office. https://on.ft.com/4buwpXd
After several prime ministers in quick succession its felt like we’ve had a new one each week (well, almost).
Why has the office of prime minister become so Impossible?
Why did Liz Truss lose to a lettuce?
Who actually brought down Boris Johnson? (spoiler: himself)
How have the 57 inhabitants of Number 10 succeeded, failed, inspired and, depressed us?
What can we learn from these peculiar characters and the history of the office?
In our new work, Anthony Seldon and I explore this and much more, spanning a rich 303-year history of our leaders and nation.
Our central aim is to show what can be learnt, and how, importantly, we can IMPROVE the office of prime minister so it becomes a little less impossible.
In an increasingly dangerous world this is more important than ever.
The NEW Impossible Office is out in March 2024, published by Cambridge University Press, and can be pre-ordered now!

Local government is back in the frame - with local authorities able to shape the services that their communities need.
A national/local partnership is a far better was of delivering local priorities.
“As the Prime Minister set out, those with skin in the game are at the forefront of really making change”

Keir Starmer is almost certain to become Britain’s new Prime Minister tomorrow and one of the first things he’ll do as Prime Minister is make a speech in Downing Street.
We can’t know exactly what he’ll say but one thing I am certain of is that he’ll use the rhetorical device PARALLELISM, so here’s another special NEW VIDEO…

Device of the day #30
PARALLELISM - ‘Good tea. Good Government…’
Parallelism is when we repeat the same grammatical structure in successive sentences.
Sometimes it can be used to create a breathless effect, suggesting urgency, determination - like Tony Blair did in his first speech as PM. ‘A new Britain. A new economy. A new democracy. A new leadership.’
Sometimes it can be combined with rhetorical repetition, building up energy, suggesting focus, like in David Cameron’s first speech as PM, when he said, ‘I want us to build an economy that rewards work. I want us to build a society with stronger families.’
Sometimes it can be used to create a sense of balance and harmony, an attempt to heal the nation after a combative election, as Margaret Thatcher attempted to do in her first speech as PM, when quoting St Francis she said, ‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith.’
Starmer’s already used parallelism on the campaign trail ‘I’ve changed Labour, now I’ll change Britain’ but what do you think he’ll say tomorrow?
As always, I’d love to hear what you think. And can YOU use parallelism to get your points across with more impact? Let me know. And, if you enjoy this video, please like, comment or share.

The frustration and disappointment with this so-called Prime Minister runs deep. It's disheartening to witness how he has mastered the art of deceit, much like Boris Johnson. Instead of prioritizing the needs and well-being of the people he is meant to serve, he seems to only care about advancing his own agenda.
It's alarming to think that this elected Prime Minister was chosen by his own comrades, rather than the collective will of the people. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of his leadership. Urgent action must be taken before he inflicts irreparable damage upon our country.
In other nations, such as France, the people would have taken to the streets to voice their grievances. They have shown in the past that they refuse to be silent when their voices are ignored. It begs the question: why are the British people not mobilizing in the same way? We often engage in discussions, expressing our dissatisfaction, but what concrete steps are we taking to hold our leaders accountable?
It is crucial that we move beyond mere words and translate our frustrations into action. We must demand transparency, accountability, and genuine representation from our elected officials. It is time for the British people to rise up, peacefully but resolutely, and demand the change that we so desperately need.
Let us not be complacent any longer. The power lies within us, and it is up to us to reclaim it. Together, we can ensure that our country is led by individuals who truly have the best interests of the people at heart. The time for action is now.
