Nigel Farage has been roundly met with the same answer after he moaned and complained about Britain being broken in the wake of Keir Starmer’s resignation.
In an address to the nation on Monday morning from Downing Street, Starmer gave an emotional speech in which he confirmed he would be stepping down as Labour leader.
Starmer said he his party had was asking “whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election.”
He said he had heard the answer of his party and “accepts it with good grace,” before confirming he was resigning as the leader of the Labour party.
The path now seems to be paved for Andy Burnham to become the next Labour leader, with the new Makerfield MP potentially ending up unopposed in any leadership contest.
Starmer’s resignation and the fact that the UK will soon have its 7th prime minister in a decade has sparked plenty of debate about the state of Britain and to what extent it has become ‘ungovernable.’
Predictably, someone who was quick to pipe up was Reform leader Nigel Farage.

In a video message on social media, the Clacton MP repeated the questionable suggestion that Reform had in a round about way got what they wanted with Burnham winning in Makerfield because it would effectively mean Starmer stepping down as prime minister.
And then, he mentioned Brexit, arguing that the political establishment had “never accepted the result”, despite the fact that we were subjected to the hard Brexit from Boris Johnson and a refusal from any government since 2016 to contemplate in any shape or form that we should perhaps rejoin the world’s biggest trading bloc.
Farage captioned the video: “Britain is broken. We demand a general election.”
This prompted countless people to remind Farage that if there is one singular cause for Britain being ‘broken’, it is undoubtedly the disastrous Brexit he called for ten years ago.
It’s difficult to argue with the suggestion that it was in fact Brexit that sparked every single piece of political chaos over the last decade.
Just look at the number of prime ministers we’ve had and compare it to history. A run of seven prime ministers in 10 years has never happened before.
From 2016 to 2026, the UK will have had seven prime ministers – this is the same amount of PMs as the country saw over 42 years between 1974 and 2016.
