Keir Starmer will leave a 'legacy of failure', Suella Braverman tells GB News

Suella Braverman has declared that Sir Keir Starmer will leave a legacy of failure following his resignation as Prime Minister today.Speaking to GB News, the Reform UK MP told GB News that his departure was inevitable after two years of scandal.She said: Of course at a human level, you can't help but be a bit moved, but I'm not going to miss Keir Starmer. He's been one of the worst prime ministers our country has ever seen, and talk about legacy, I think his legacy is going to go down as one of the worst in our history. Mandelson scandal, corruption, a friend of a paedophile put into our most important position in Washington, the special relationship with the US is absolutely dead because of Starmer's bad foreign policy. Chagos Islands, British territory being sold off in the name of reparations, a tin-earred response to grooming gangs, an absolute failure to stop the boats and secure our borders, record taxation, small businesses being crippled and going bust. I could go on. So this is a legacy of failure, and I'm afraid that the end was inevitable.WATCH ABOVE. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
