  10. #PippaCrerar of #TheGuardian confirms a report in #TheTimes that Keir #Starmer has met Andy #Burnham to plan the transfer of power. x.com/i/status/206942879764910

    No surprise. Despite personal bitterness, there is clear mutual interest.

    I'm interested in the talks that will remain unreported. The talks with whoever, where Burnham's ppl gave 100% assurance of solid support for Israel & continued persecution of anti-genociders.

    Without that, Burnham would have been destroyed months ago.

  11. More great reporting from #TheGuardian's #EleniCourea and #PippaCrerar on the squabbles within the UK #LabourParty.

    "They all think Keir is done’: how push to protect Starmer’s job backfired spectacularly". Now Westminster is awash with plotting to replace #Starmer. theguardian.com/politics/2025/

    Of course, it's all just a competition to go down in history as chief lemming: the person at the wheel when Labour crashes and burns at the next general election. #Popcorn 🤣 #ukpol
