“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”
The famous words, first uttered in 1653, have rarely felt as desperate and urgent as they do today.

Oliver Cromwell, of course, first levelled the demand at Britain’s Rump Parliament - so called because, just like the one we have right now, it was populated entirely by asses.
As I write 787,248 people have signed a Parliamentary petition calling for Sir Keir Starmer and his confederacy of dunces to go, and for a General Election to be called.

That number is 42 times higher than the 18,884 people who voted for him in his Holborn and St Pancras constituency.

The same “go” exhortation was previously in used in the House of Commons against Hitler-appeaser Neville Chamberlain, Brexit-welcher Theresa May and Downing St party animal Boris Johnson.
But I think we’d happily take any of those three in preference to the gutless, witless, fifth columnist thickos currently purporting to run the country.
Let’s just pick some of the highpoints of Starmer’s first year in office shall we?
“We will smash the gangs”, he promised. More than 50,000 migrants have crossed the Channel since he came to power, a new British record.
“Labour will not raise taxes for working people” he told us. Then Rachel Reeves slapped on a ￡40bn rise in taxes - the largest increase in a budget since John Major's government in 1993.
They promised to increase productivity - in fact they just increased the public sector to an astonishing 6.15 million. Ten years ago it was just 5.4m while productivity fell by 0.6 percent.
In his election-winning acceptance speech Starmer promised “Country first, party second.” Yet he has harmed the nation by capitulating to his hard-left back-benchers time and again - on Winter Fuel Payments, on benefits payments, and he’s about to do so again on the Child Benefit Cap.
He caved-in to the greedy wage-demands of striking rail workers, jr doctors and consultants - all of whom earn substantially more than the median UK wage.
Then there is the mind-blowingly stupid Chagos Islands deal - which will not only cost us ￡35Bn, but make Britain weaker and the world a substantially less safe place.
And of course he’s making Britain a substantially less safe place as our local communities are now the playgrounds of thousands of men we welcome and put up in hotels despite having no idea who or what they are. Of course Starmer doesn’t live next to an asylum hotel, so he could care less. He remains blind and deaf to the very real crisis currently tearing the country apart.
I could go on and on … but I don’t need to - I know you can see the erosion of a once great nation happening all around you.
So… how to get rid of him?

Well, there are options.
A vote of no confidence would do it - but as Starmer has an inexplicable 411 of the 650 Parliamentary seats, it seems unlikely.
Then there is a the possibility of a leadership challenge, and few would doubt Angela Rayner’s Machiavellian capacity to do precisely that at some point.. So that is a distinct possibility. However one can only conclude that the solution here is substantially worse than the problem.
Of course, Starmer could finally recognise the damage he is doing to the country and just quit. But given the man’s not inconsiderable hubris, this, too, seems unlikely.
Which leaves one last option.
A clause in our Constitution still allows the reigning monarch to remove the Prime Minister in times of national crisis.
