    Buh-Bye Keir



    REBELLIOUSBARD

    The bags are packed.
    The damage isn’t.

    Buh-Bye Keir is RebelliousBard’s thoroughly unsentimental farewell to Keir Starmer after a premiership that lasted less than two years. Farmers, pensioners, immigration, taxation, two-tier justice and the endless procession of nicknames all get one final outing as the song surveys what RebelliousBard regards as an extraordinarily destructive period of government. There is no gracious send-off and no sudden outbreak of respect for the office. Starmer is leaving; the argument here is that Britain still has to live with what he leaves behind.

    FOR THE RECORD

    Oh Keir Starmer… finally packing your bags
    Two years too late, but who’s counting?

    Two Tier Keir, never here when it mattered most
    Captain Hindsight, always late to the post
    Sir Kid Starver, Free Gear Keir in your fancy suit
    Starmer the Farmer Harmer — what an absolute hoot
    Taxed the land, froze out the old, cut the fuel in the cold
    While the boats kept coming and the stories were sold

    You smiled for the cameras, said change is here
    While the country fell apart year after year

    Buh bye Keir, don’t let the door hit your chin
    Two Tier Keir, finally packing it in
    Captain Hindsight with your free gear and spin
    The country’s breathing , now the mess begins
    Buh bye Keir, what a legacy of pain
    Destroyed the farmers, froze out the old again
    Two Tier Keir, never here when we needed you most
    Just another suit selling lies coast to coast

    You promised the world, delivered the knife
    Taxed the inheritance, ended rural life
    Pensioners freezing while the boats sailed in
    Media protected you through thick and thin
    Sir Kid Starver with your moral high ground
    Left kids in danger while the numbers compound
    Free Gear Keir taking whatever he can
    While the rest of us suffered under your plan

    Buh bye Keir, don’t let the door hit your chin

    Two years too late, you finally walked away
    Left the country broken, now you want praise
    But who comes next from this selection of nothing?
    More of the same, just different clothing
    The damage is done, the trust is gone
    We’re breathing again… but the fight’s just begun

    Buh bye Keir, don’t let the door hit your chin
    Two Tier Keir, finally packing it in
    Captain Hindsight with your free gear and spin
    The country’s breathing — now the mess begins
    Buh bye Keir, what a legacy of pain
    Destroyed the farmers, froze out the old again
    Two Tier Keir, never here when we needed you most
    Just another suit selling lies coast to coast

    Buh bye Keir
    Buh bye Keir
    What a legacy
    What comes next?

    WHY THIS SONG EXISTS

    Buh-Bye Keir was written for the end of Keir Starmer’s premiership. After entering Downing Street following Labour’s landslide election victory in July 2024, Starmer announced his resignation in June 2026, less than two years later, following collapsing personal ratings and mounting political pressure. At his lowest point, Ipsos recorded just 13% satisfied with his performance and 79% dissatisfied, the lowest satisfaction rating in its prime-ministerial series dating back to 1977. RebelliousBard had spent much of those two years attacking Starmer’s government, so the resignation was never going to receive a dignified little farewell. This is the closing statement: good riddance to a prime minister RebelliousBard believes left the country worse than he found it, followed immediately by the rather less comforting question of what comes next.
