A BELLOW of rage rumbled across Britain this week as millions of angry voters took revenge on blundering Keir Starmer.

This signalled the kiss of death not just for our cloth-eared PM but for Labour itself as a national party of government.

Yet in a response which surely raises questions about his sanity, Captain Crasher–oonie Snoozefest insisted: “I’m not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos.

“It was a five-year term I was elected to do. I intend to see that through.”

Such stubborn madness cannot hold. The only question is what happens next.

Panicking Cabinet ministers, MPs and union barons know they must dump Starmer but can find nobody better among a field of proven failures and non-runners.

Manchester Mayor has been rejected twice as party leader. is tarnished by her .

Health supremo was too close to discredited .

Home Secretary is at war with leftie MPs over illegal .

And every one of those panicking ministers and MPs is complicit in the economic and social meltdown threatening this country today.

No government elected by a landslide just 22 months ago should be allowed to inflict such carnage then simply change leader and move on.

None of those tipped as a successor inspires confidence.

Most would risk economic armageddon and stoke taxes, borrowing and welfare spending.

Voters rightly feel conned by promises two years ago that “grown-ups” would deliver a stable and thriving economy.

Those vows have turned to ashes.

Once goes, must ask permission of the people at a before sailing under new colours.

The PM himself has already set the terms and conditions.

As floundered over “Cakegate” and other confected charges, the Labour leader insisted he quit and call a snap election.

When resigned after 45 days in office, Starmer insisted the Tories had “no mandate to govern”.

“They cannot respond to their latest shambles by simply clicking their fingers and shuffling the people at the top without the consent of the British people. We need a General Election — now,” he said.

Wannabe PM Angela Rayner echoed his cry as took office. “Nobody voted for this,” she raged.

Fellow trade union favourite Andy Burnham joined in, posting: “General Election now.”

Don’t hold your breath, folks. Like turkeys, Labour has no intention of voting for — or the unemployment scrapheap.

There are no     £145k directorships in jobless Britain for Labour’s discredited former Cabinet ministers.

Yet they are entirely responsible for the self-inflicted cost-of-living crisis, the welfare spending splurge and tsunami of national debt.

The plight of the UK has nothing to do with the war in or conflict in the Gulf.

It was baked in the moment Starmer led Labour into office on a manifesto of sly secrets and shabby deceit.

Starmer vowed to Stop The Boats. That was always a lie.

Cross-Channel migration swelled by 13 per cent in 2025, and last week hit a total of 200,000 since the crisis began in 2018.

Chancellor promised to protect “working people” and end the cost-of-living crisis. Instead, without warning, she snatched old-folks’ , crashed the market with £70billion in new taxes, handed sky-high pay hikes to public sector unions and poured taxpayers’ money down the Benefits Street gurgler.

“Working people” must now graft for average earnings of £32,000 a year AFTER tax to match the payouts handed over in welfare to 600,000 families who don’t lift a finger.

Ed Miliband’s bonkers green policies are punishing consumers, killing industry and robbing Britain of its abundant and supplies.

Gaza has been allowed to fester into sectarian conflict, and Britain has been left defenceless in the face of foreign threats.

Thanks to such policy disasters, Britain risks imminent economic ruin with global money markets reluctant to lend us the cash to pay our way.

This, not , is why Labour has slumped from landslide approval ratings to earth-quake levels of public contempt.

has been swiftly exposed as an over-promoted dud — as a lawyer, state prosecutor and politician.

He has exceeded all expectations of failure.

This PM was a “dead man walking” long before his stupid decision to pick dodgy Peter Mandelson as Our Man in Washington.

Stay or go, his legacy now will be economic chaos, a likely Farage-led government, a new lease of life for the Tories, an anarchist — and the likely disintegration of the UK as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland press for independence.

Labour has lost control. It has lost credibility.

If Starmer goes, it will be unable to claim legitimacy.

The PM’s personal fate is now irrelevant. The damage is done.

He has lost the confidence of his party.

More importantly, the Labour Government has lost the confidence of the British people.

If he goes, so must they.
