Starmer announces resignation as prime minister and leader of the Labour party

When was the last time there was a good one? In my lifetime there's been Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer. Name one good one amongst that rogues gallery. I will not hold my breath.
Who said anything about a good one?
I just want someone who's less unflavoured cold porridge and a bit more present.
BoJo the clown might've been a terrible PM but at least he had some presence. Sure it was mostly because the majority media was backing him, but at least you heard about what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Starmer actually got shit going in some aspects: and the media was playing crickets noises throughout. Because our Prime Milquetoast was afraid of actually hammering home the achievements, while letting the media get away with their usual bullshittery crap.
Pretty much all I want is a PM who gets shit done and makes sure people know about the positive changes coming.
@fonix232 @erusuoyera @Mantzy81 Starmer's backbenchers are just totally unsupportive of radical change.

Fookin hell mate, I leave for a few days and all hell gets loose?
Let's hope the next PM is less of an undercooked potato than Starmer was.
