Can we assume that these characters are the ones who having been leaking poison to the media ?

If Labour think that Streeting is the man to save them then they're showing even less self awareness than the Tories did when they put that responsibility on May, Johnson and Truss' shoulders

Streeting, a really poor option anyway, would become a puppet for Trump’s mate, Glasman & his grubby blue labour faction

The Labour party as a whole is a stooge for big corporations just like Conservatives and Reform are. We the people are not allowed lower taxes, food prices, electricity bills because those who fund them won't allow it. I trust none of them to protect us because they'd rather sell us and our data.

He’s also a slimy bastard

If Starmer goes then they have lost my vote for good. Pandering to the press, media and showing what treacherous, self serving twats they are.

Streeting and Mahmood are Starmer's biggest failure A bigot and a fascist, neither should be anywhere near the Labour party

John D2

I was wondering if they'd manage to deluded themselves that people are only cross with starmer.

Are you seriously suggesting Street Greebling is an upgrade on Keef? Hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

I don’t really understand how a Labour leadership contest and change of UK Prime Minister at this precise moment in time, with the current international volatility created by POTUS can be considered wise. Surely we need consistency?Not a 6th PM in 8yrs.

From the frying pan into the fire.

Looks to me that Starmer will stay in power just long enough to get things stitched up for a Streeting handover. Trouble is that Streeting is also an slimy twunt who will be hated by voters too.

The Tories are much better at this slimy, stab in the back stuff than Labour are. That should tell us something.

This is what’s best for the country: 1. Starmer agrees to act as caretaker PM until September. 2. Burnham given opportunity to fight a by-election 3. Candidates have a leadership contest held over the summer That’s it, no psychodrama and an orderly transition. Not hard is it?

Burnhamites can fuck off with this. He could sit this out, remain king across the water and do it properly after he's finished his term as mayor and avoid looking like a desperate arsehole.

Ianrobo3

fact some think Burnham is the answer is the biggest joke as well ... Wes can never win in members/unions, Andy not even a MP of course and not sure how much support he has when others step up

Matt McVeigh3

As an aside, & as noted by others, the irony of a first openly gay PM being loathed by vast swathes of the LGBTQ+ community for his stance on trans issues (me included) would be epic in scale. I don't think he could attend e.g. any Pride without, as a bare minimum, huge protest against his presence.

Wouldn't they need a lot of votes in the selectorate to switch?

BBC breakfast said "that's more of an espresso than a latte" and I could not help myself but laugh.

you don't gotta hand it to starmer, but props to lasting 16 minutes in a conversation with streeting before telling him to fuck off

Laid across Starmers desk were multiple pictures of Streeting and Mandelson being besties together… Allegedly 😇😉

The Pantomime is still running I see.

Doesn't take long to call someone a bell end and yeet them out the door I guess.
