Starmer Says He Intends To Be UK PM For 10 Years!

It’s no wonder that people who can afford to are fleeing the country.

Britain’s prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has revealed that he is thinking about the next election date already and announced that he intends to complete a full second term at No.10.

Barely six months after his alleged landslide victory, WEF puppet Sir Kier has seen his popularity sink, been hammered in the polls, beaten up by the financial markets and even had Elon Musk demand that he be jailed.

Politico reports: In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, Starmer scotched speculation about an early election, stating clearly that the next one won’t come before mid-2029. And he declared that he intends to win it and then serve out a full second term.

“We are now, what, four and a half years before the next election,” Starmer said, sitting at a table for dinner in a traditional Ukrainian restaurant in Kyiv. “I remind myself that four and a half years ago, Boris Johnson was prime minister with very high ratings and most commentators were saying he’s going to be prime minister for the next 10 years. So I am a great believer in taking each step as it comes, facing each challenge as it comes, keeping my eye on the long term and not getting distracted by the noises off.”

Those noises have been deafening at times during Labour’s first six months.

A chaotic start saw Starmer’s government overwhelmed by internal divisions, a scandal over his decision to accept thousands of pounds of free gifts, and a tax-raising budget that dismayed the business world and hit pensioners with higher costs.

With the economy sluggish and bond markets rocky, a poll this week put Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform UK party just one point below Labour. Some of Starmer’s colleagues are privately thinking about who could replace him if ratings do not improve.

10-year Keir

Starmer says Labour needs 10 years to put Britain back on track. But given everything that has come his way, is he personally committed to serving out a full two terms as prime minister? “Yes. We want a decade of national renewal. I always said this will take time,” he replied. “We will see material change in the first term of a Labour government but we are talking about a decade of national renewal and I intend to lead from the front.”

By the end of a second five-year stretch in office, Starmer will be 71. The approach he and his top finance minister Rachel Reeves have taken is to frontload all the misery — tax rises, spending cuts — at the start of their time in power. They hope voters forgive them or forget when the next election eventually comes and some of Labour’s promises have been delivered.

But that plan relies on the electorate’s willingness to pay attention to small changes and, above all, to remain patient as they wait for life to feel a bit easier. It’s far from clear that voters will oblige.

Across Europe, far-right parties are on the march, in countries including Austria, France, Italy and Germany.

With Farage snapping at his heels, is Starmer worried that the U.K. will be next? “We need to be conscious of this threat,” he said. “But in the end the politics of easy answers isn’t right for our country because easy answers don’t change things for the better. All the populist right has to offer are supposedly easy answers that don’t actually materialize into change.”
