This is another of my fire and forget predictions -
The TLDR here is that I predict Keir Stamer will be ousted as leader of england within the next 12 months.
Long Version ~ On 4 July 2024, Labour won a landslide, taking 411 of 650 seats and a 174‑seat majority. The Conservatives were reduced to 121 seats, effectively wiped out. Labour could do whatever it wanted. Or could it? The party’s leader was Keir Starmer. He became leader after Jeremy Corbyn failed to withstand a concerted campaign by party insiders opposed to his views on Israel. Once in power, and weeks after calling Corbyn his "friend" Starmer denied any friendship with Corbyn. He has no allies, only interests. Corbyn’s name was useful when it helped, disposable when it didn’t — transactional, not loyal. Starmer’s transactional worldview extends to his career. A human rights barrister turned Director of Public Prosecutions, he enforced the state’s power. Loyalty is optional, principle negotiable, morality expendable. Under Starmer, the UK conducted military surveillance over Gaza (providing intel to Israel to better bomb Gaza) and maintained arms exports while hypocritically calling for a ceasefire.
Since 1995 Israel repeatedly claimed that Iran was weeks from a nuclear weapon, yet Iran complied with the 2015 JCPOA deal until the U.S. broke it in 2018. The UK made token efforts to preserve the deal but backed U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in 2025, framing it as a “grave threat” despite Iran posing no imminent danger. Basically Starmer ignores agreements and international law when its not convenient. Starmer’s approach mirrors his treatment of people: transactional and expedient. He abandons commitments and international law when convenient. Later, when the U.S. attacked Venezuela on dubious claims, Starmer again deferred to Washington rather than condemning the operation. It has now emerged that Starmer knew Peter Mandelson had continued ties to Jeffrey Epstein when he appointed him as the UK’s ambassador to the United States — and pressed ahead anyway. If leading a government is like an exam, Starmer has failed so spectacularly that his removal now seems inevitable, whether from this issue or the next (and there are several, not including Brexit blowbacks) that exposes his transactional, no‑morality worldview. I only hope the wind that blew him to our doorsteps blows again in order to remove him from the top job and UK politics altogether.
But Ferdia you cannot predict these things! ->>

They have never meant 'an operational missile is literally arriving on a truck next month
