Right now we need to find out whether your lift pump is working !
So take the pipe nearest to you off & stick your finger over the metal pipe on the lift pump & start pumping ! If after 2 mins you don't get fuel ( it could be in the wrong position on the cam so you will have to turn the engine over a bit ! ) report back !

i hear voices now since being in the corner
i mean , anybody would think he were right , ah what do ur mean he's right , i ant telling him he's right
suppose i better get back in me corner before he notices and throws another tantrum,
That is because the pump will be on cam. You need to turn the engine to take it off cam then you should get resistance when manual pumping. Sounds like the lift pump has failed.
The starter turns the engine, not the fuel ...
Just flick the starter. At some point you should get resistance on the manual lever when the internal lever goes off cam.

There is a rubber diaphragm inside it, sometimes they split. They are only cheap, get a good one.

Highly likely.

Use a new gasket, or make one out of cardboard. And make sure you use the same spacer blocks as came off the old pump.
