  7. Isn't this stupid?

    Surely he resigns as leader of the Labour party, starting the contest, but remains as PM until and unless someone else wins that contests and is appointed on the strength of commanding a majority in the House of commons.

    Has he actually resigned, requiring an acting PM to be appointed? Or is GBNews just showing their usual pig ignorance of the UK's political processes and Constitution?

  11. Streeting has bottled it...he is backing Burnham

    Someone has to challenge him, there has to be a conversation about what Labour stands for, also considering the amount of Labour MP'S there is, there has to be someone better in there than a man who ran twice, lost and the ran away!

    You may have picked up from my posts that I don't like Burnham. All of this smacks of opportunism from a man who couldn't win the leadership in his own right.

  17. Sigh and sigh again.
    Watching the Labour Party's buyers' remorse over finagling Starmer into place. Remembering how the right-wingers bleating at us "but you have to win power" only now to realise you also have to have transformative policies or else just having power is a busted flush.
    Meanwhile, having driven out those who understood and advocated transformative policies, they're looking like rabbits in the headlights as they realise that their defaults are not fit for the times we're in.
    Now they are starting to understand the need to repent, they haven't the imagination or time to do so effectively. The British tragedy is ever to have the wrong leaders in place when the crisis comes.
    And the crisis is here, in slo-mo. More on the way.
    A dedication to individual wealth accumulation is nowhere near a sufficient basis for coming out of social scale crises with a modicum of success.

  19. Can Starmer last much longer? "The 126 Labour MPs who signed an amendment to block the cuts represent the biggest challenge to his authority to date — and government whips chose to make that explicit, warning would-be rebels this was a confidence issue that could force the PM to resign.
    The fact such threats only increased the size of the rebellion cannot fill him with confidence: nor will the public interventions from Labour’s best-known regional magnates, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Greater Manchester’s Andy Burnham, both thought to aspire to his job."

    Bringing the #fatController back will not save the #toriesOut from losing power.

    I rather doubt the lazy, lying ego will relish being #loto for an indefinite period after the #nextGE so if they are stupid enough to replace #sunak with him they will again run thru three leaders over a short period.

    I wonder - could #starmer break the record for number of #tory leaders faced as #labourLeader ? That would make 5 if you count the ego twice

    Well for those on the #UKleftWing we have had 74 years of #toryLite - given the same criticism from the #labourLeft has been hurled at every #labourLeader who has won any election since 1945.

    BTW "Broken Pledge" is not even a thing if the party does not gain power - so easy to be #farLeft and smug in your doctrinal purity

    Look up #benn and #chevaline to see what happens when #reality bites an idol of the #farLeft

    Well the alternative has been true for the last 13 years - having #labour led by #losers perceived to be too left by middleEnglad to vote for

    What you call #Tory-lite I call #electable - and many people seem to agree

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_

    PS the bit on the graph to the left where #toriesOut led the polls was under the previous, two-time loser #labourLeader
    #starmer will get only one chance to win

    Stuff purity on the #opposition benches

    Well it's hard to remember, but #sunak has a majority >60

    So I'm not sure any alternate leader would've destroyed the #toriesOut by now (BTW they seem to be doing a pretty good job all by themselves)

    Which isn't to say an alternate #labourLeader would not do better - if you exclude #andyBurnham (who excluded himself) who'd you choose in this alternate universe?

    My shortlist
    #rachelReeves
    #lisaNandy

    but I could be persuaded to AN Other
