    Congratulations on your landslide victory – Mahama to Keir Starmer, Labour Party

    Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has extended his warm congratulations to Keir Starmer and the UK Labour Party following their landslide victory in the recent British elections.

    In a social media post, Mr. Mahama expressed his delight at the outcome of the elections, emphasizing the democratic process that led to Labour’s success.

    “The people have spoken,” Mahama stated, reflecting on the electoral mandate received by the Labour Party.

    Looking ahead, Mahama expressed optimism for a strengthened partnership between Ghana and the UK, highlighting the importance of robust international relations.

    “I look forward to a strong partnership between our two countries,” Mahama affirmed, underscoring the mutual benefits of diplomatic cooperation.

    Drawing parallels between the political landscapes of the UK and Ghana, Mahama noted that Ghana is also gearing up for its own elections soon. Expressing hope for a positive outcome for his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mahama conveyed his aspirations for the future of Ghana’s political landscape.

    “Like the UK, Ghana will also have elections soon, and I hope for a positive outcome for my party,” Mahama stated.

    “Congratulations to @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour on their landslide victory in the British elections. The people have spoken, and I look forward to a strong partnership between our two countries. Like the UK, Ghana will also have elections soon, and I hope for a positive outcome for my party and our continued good relations with Labour. #ElectionResults #GhanaUKrelations,” Mahama concluded in his message.

  • Starmer: Since Labour announced its economic goals, the Conservatives have had four chancellors

    Sir Keir Starmer made fun of the Conservative Party this morning, pointing out that they had had four chancellors since Labour unveiled its economic blueprint.

    Liz Truss was named the fourth on Friday, thus Rishi Sunak, Nadhim Zahawi, Kwasi Kwarteng, and Jeremy Hunt have all held the position since July.

    Sir Keir said: “Since I set out our plans to grow the economy, the Tories have got through four chancellors.

    ” Our Green Prosperity Plan will create a million good jobs. And we’ll deliver GB energy, a home-grown energy company.

    ” Labour will build the future Britain deserves.”

     

     

  • British public: Truss is ‘incompetent’ and Starmer is ‘boring’

    As Liz Truss prepares for her first conference speech as prime minister today, a word cloud created by the research group JL Partners has revealed the most commonly used words used to describe the current leader and her rival Keir Starmer.

    When asked to give a view this week on the Tory leader after the mini-budget, the public most commonly used the words “incompetent”, “useless” and “untrustworthy”.

    In comparison, the words used to describe the prime minister before the mini-budget were “determined”, “strong” and “competent”.

    The prime minister is currently facing the tough task of restoring Tory morale after a conference that has seen a U-turn over a totemic tax policy, cabinet dissent, and the threat of another major split over the level of benefits.

    Meanwhile, the most commonly used words to describe Mr Starmer were “boring”, “leader” and both “competent” and “untrustworthy”.

  • The current crisis presents Starmer with an open goal

    Sir Keir Starmer’s challenge today can be best summed up by the following tortured football analogy.

    The other team have not only left the goal wide open, but the goalkeeper has also wandered off the pitch.

    The strikers are repeatedly kicking themselves in the face.

    The other players have either turned on each other, collapsed, or abandoned the game entirely.

    Parts of the pitch are on fire.

    All Sir Keir has to do is calmly take the ball and walk it over the line.

    It should be an easy win, even for a leader whose party has often questioned his ability to make an impact on the electorate, fearing his cautious approach just doesn’t cut through.

    In normal times this might have held him back, but these are far from normal times.

    The Conservatives have done a lot of the work for him.

    Under Boris Johnson, they forfeited much of their moral authority – and in a matter of days under Liz Truss, the party’s economic credibility hangs in the balance.

    In his conference address, there doesn’t need to be sparkling oratory or groundbreaking policy ideas.

    He simply needs to present a credible alternative to a government in crisis.
