If we elected decent MPs the leader wouldn’t matter all that much
Is that satire flag going to be big enough?
It’s so ridiculous I’m not even outraged. The article did give me a laugh though: “**has been signed by over two million morons**”
14 years of bending over backwards of the Tories and morons are already missing taking the length from their blue overlords
So because people don’t want Starmer, they’re imbeciles?
I don’t really care who’s in charge, just as long as it’s not Starmer. I can’t stand his nasally droning voice and his inability to answer questions. He may have been a good prosecutor but he’s taking that attitude towards leading the UK and it’s just not working. He’s not really cut out for it and a replacement, labour or anyone else, would be needed.
It is trying to achieve the same thing as newsthump, except more people have taken notice of the petition.
half of those must be idiotic Americans who follow the formerly known as Twitter, now called “that billionaire’s cult”
Its barely been 6 months since the General Election…..
No one thinks there will be an election, people are just giving Labour a bit of a kicking, no need to get so upset.
Ah yes, the left wing arrogance that got Trump reinstalled now likely to get Farage installed as well. Never learn from your mistakes reddit.
How is this petition news? Reform-voting trogs don’t like Starmer and think a petition will get rid of him. It’s almost cute in its naivety.
It’s honestly embarrassing that this story is getting so much attention.
Over 6 millions people voted for the tories, and millions of others for other parties.
It isn’t news that some of them aren’t fans of labour
Hahaha the article did make me laugh. But seriously, after 14yrs of a Tory government, Labour are no where near this incompetence of that government.
Need another 14 years of deceit and contempt, it’s like a drug, can’t live without it.
14 years of the shittiest Tory rule possible and they cry about starmer taking over from July
Lots of self righteous indignation on here. Daily reminder that Starmer got less votes than Corbyn.
Some people have other views and that’s ok. Dismissing them as morons really says quite a lot about you…
“2 million people who didn’t vote for Starmer anyway send in a pointless petition saying they dont like him”
Just like those who signed that petition to reverse Brexit purely through a petition. Stupid the lost of them for this petition and that one
I know it’s supposed to be satire, but it’s kinda true.
The revolving door of conservative leaders over the last 14+ years has created a warped impression amongst elements of the public which wrongly suggest PMs can be replaced on a whim..
The British political system doesn’t work like that. The chaos and instability the conservatives wrought after the brexit debacle and the musical chairs of leadership changes is the exception, not the rule..
An effective engaged opposition is there to challenge the sitting government, add nuance needed to temper any proposed legislation in a fashion that in some way captures a sensible broader public feeling or mood which transcends partisan loyalty.
The conservatives are still behaving like some sort of offshoot of the American Republican party, culture war rubbish moaning about labour rather than getting their figurative brown stuff together and bringing something with substance to the table..
Corbyn being appointed labour leader, the tone he set and the people he attracted to the party, the lunch away from centre left to the farther fringes is partly to blame for the UK being lumbered with successive conservative governments for such a prolonged period..
Starmer may be a bit boring and lacking in any outwardly colourful flourishes of personality. To many he is a breath of fresh air after years of vacuous “personalities” given to empty tabloid bravado and divisive posturing.
I think that everyone of them should have their social media trawled and if they have ever said “Leave won, get over it” then their petition entry should be discounted.
Can we not turn into America, it sucks having to witness it so much in the media, I don’t want it to come directly to my doorstep
Bizzare when all these things happened when the tories where in power everyone was for it. But I guess that what happens when you circle jerk and why Reddit’s also grossly shocked when the “unexpected” happens in politics.
To those in favour of the petition, who should take charge instead?
The petition is clearly botted. There was 50k posts on Twitter about it when it hit 100k. The top posts were multiple posts a bunch of people with fuck all followers. You can sign the petitions website while using a VPN and with temporary email addresses. There is no captcha, its like the site was made to be botted
Labour won the election with 33.8% of the total votes cast.
Just like the people who signed the petition to hold a second Brexit referendum… those in glass houses…
Would trade them another election for another Brexit referendum!
I don’t like Labour or Starmer but the idea of a 7th prime minister since Brexit is absolutely ridiculous.
This is an opposition that supposedly dislikes woke cancel culture yet signing online petitions like they’re going to cancel Starmer.
We might as well just admit it, politics has resorted to reality TV Big Brother or Pop idol phone vote mentality.
And we won’t stop until we have a villain in power in the style of Simon Cowell or Gordon Ramsey….where just being rude for rudeness sake is seen as the pinnacle of leadership traits.
Fuck integrity, vision, communication, empathy, accountability, diplomacy… just shout rude stuff and you’ll be PM.
I don’t like Starmer but bloody hell i’ve been laughing at this because people just need to suck it up and deal with it, let’s see how Labour runs the country for the next few years and if it’s shit then vote him out.

Sadly those who do politics as their identity really are taking us down the US path.
Someone on bluesky did some analysis and found out that the signature share in each county lines up with the amount of reform voters in each county.
It’s an IQ test, and we are seeing the lower end of the bell curve
I wonder how many on this petition didn’t bother voting at the last election?
Christ, I’m not a right winger by any stretch, I’m usually on here shouting lefty socialist talking points
But I can’t get behind the level of sneer, arrogance behind this sort of news headline, this sort of holier than thou attitude helps noone, you could say the brexit petition people were imbeciles aswell
Musk looking to destabilise the uk government and put their puppet in charge . Mind his own business.
I see reform are leaping all over this. That says it all.
Oh good this is going to be like when the Dems laughed at Trump for four years before he won again isn’t it. Keir so smart Tommy Little England so dumb.
The far right are a lot of things, but they are not stupid. Calling someone an idiot just because he disagrees with you is the surest guarantee that you’ll haemorrhage support until eventually you are outnumbered.
Keir’s government has had a terribly divisive start of unforced errors. His already started off as the least popular UK government in living memory, and he doesn’t seem to be doing anything beyond an ironically Muskovite/Mileian/Osboring “things will have to get worse to get better” (specifically: declare a series of unnecessary cuts while adjusting the definition of a deficit so only the PPPs can count as profitable investments, while stuff like healthcare cannot). His supporters are giving the worst people an open goal all while declaring how *dumb* they are.
America moves. Britain follows.
Itt people simping for a sinking low iq government. The political class are all the same with different colour ties. Put the king in charge at this point or a random number generator
Signed by 2 million Tories
Tories = enemies of democracy
I’m sure belittling these people will get them on your side 🙂
The best bit about this is them not being able to comprehend how easy it would be to give fake signatures that still show as UK in the JSON.
I fucking hate these people now. I used to think maybe they have some valid points. Then I was like ok well they got Brexit so they should be happy. Then I realised that what they are is entitled whiney little cry babies.l with zero intellect. I cannot wait for them to die off, naturally of course.
Fucking morons.
