  1. 2) Good #DemocracyForSale piece on #AndyBurnham’s election win and associated implications.

    The speed of #PM transition is a matter for conjecture, but a change at #Number10 is coming

    #KeirStarmer has declared that he will contest the challenge to his leadership of #Labour. I think he may demur if the outcome has the potential for humiliation

  3. theconversation.com/mandelson-. "Starmer & his #allies have argued that #Robbins did not tell the [PM] about concerns raised in the #vetting #process as he should have. In giving #evidence to MPs, Robbins said that #Number10 took a 'dismissive' approach to the vetting process. He also said that he was under 'constant pressure' to approve Mandelson’s clearance due to this being a #political #priority for #Starmer. Mandelson’s #appointment was announced #publicly before the vetting took place."

  6. @ChrisMayLA6 I assume that the #Starmtroopers calculated they had a binary choice between two packages of outcomes:

    A/ hold the GM mayoralty, lose Gorton, block #Burnham's coup

    B/ lose the GM mayoralty, hold Gorton, get defenestrated by #Burnham.

    Not being keen on defenestration, they chose package A. So they have selected a corporate lobbyist as #GortonAndDenton candidate to be eaten alive, but they keep their jobs in #Number10 for a bit longer.

  8. It took a French intervention to put manners on the Brits.
    But thanks to Macron, at last a 10 Downing Street ceremony has acknowledged the presence of the most important man in Number 10: Larry The Cat.
