I expect Starmer to survive a bit longer because of the lack of a replacement.

Streeting seems to be unpopular in labour circles (  I don't know the reason ),Burnham unlike Starmer is a competent politician but an obvious bullshitter & can't stand anyway as a non MP & deary me, Angela Rayner would be labour's Liz Truss !!

He can, well it's constitutionally possible.

Won't happen, I know, but he just needs to leader of the party.

You've got turkeys voting for Xmas sat in council estate pubs across the land blamin their pints going up in price on Kier Starmer and Boat folk. When it's those who Reform will hit first.

It's all one big mess.

Which, to be fair to @Cheese, as he's pointed it out more than once, is going to be funny to watch. The Gammons bringing him to power, are the very one's he'll fuck over first. Most of them will be simply too thick to realise what's happening until it's too late.

85 of his own MPs now called for him to go.

Above the threshold.

[mickbrown]

And...........

103 backbenchers and PPSs have signed a statement saying this is ‘no time for a leadership contest’. The statement was organised by group of backbenchers, many from the 2024 intake. So far, the number exceeds those calling for him to quit - organisers say it’s rising.

What it does show, is like when the Conservatives were in power last time, all the opposition needs to do is sit back and wait for them to destroy themselves from within, which they're now starting to do

[Mounts Kipper]

Government borrowing rates rising on the uncertainty. Full on shit show incoming.

The letter in support is currently private, so pretty dubious in any case - assuming it's real, how weak do you have to be that your own MPs will only back you anonymously.

 

And in any case, more in favour of him than against is not a win. An Army with 25% thinking the general is a cunt is still fucked.

[Cheese]

The "threshold" everyone is talking about only applies if they all agree to nominate the same challenger. As it stands, there isn't a single challenger to get behind.

True. As I said, it’s a shitshow

Imagine that being your constituency.

I'd be fuckin ashamed to live there. 

The videos are from a wedding in 2023.
