On April 22nd, Nigel Farage just dropped the bull prediction, saying Prime Minister Kierstarmer will be out before the end of May. It all ties back to the scandal over appointing Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to the United States. Even though he failed security vetting, Chex, Farage called it a total shredding of Starmer's credibility. Farage ripped into Starmer for ignoring standard procedures and pushing Mandelson through anyway. This comes amid other headaches, like considering a top diplomatic role for a former spin doctor linked to a child exploitation case. Starmer has already sacked his foreign office chief and civil service head to cleanhouse. Calls for Starmer to step down are growing, even from some labor MPs. Farage made these comments during a rally in Barnsley, hammering labor's crumbling support in traditional heartlands over net zero policies and what. He sees as unpatriotic leadership, looking ahead to the May 7th local elections, Farage expects labor to get crushed in the Red Wall, South Wales and Scotland.

He predicts reform UK will snag over a thousand council seats in England and could even be labor into second place in Scottish parliamentary races. Farage figure Starmer will cling on until after the votes, sacking everyone around him to dodge blame. But with reform surging, those elections could spark the real shake-up in British politics.
