2 obligatory politics pundits on R4 Today asked about who will be leading Labour in a year's time.

1 said John Healey or Shabana Mahmood. The other said Yvette Cooper or Ed Milliband

Money or sex. There has to be a reason Mandelson was wandering around in his underpants.

So appealing to the man in the street then ?

Never underestimate the greed of the rich. Remember: it's why there are poor people.

(Also never underestimate the stupidity of the mob. Which is the grease that allows the rich to advance).

Tim Allen (Director of Comms) has gone. LBC saying Starmer won't last the week.

Tim Allan, Keir Starmer’s director of communications, has resigned.

Did anyone listen to Alastair Campbell’s podcast last night? Very sad and depressing. I had to stop listening.

What was he saying, BestIsWest?

Mostly about Mandelson being a huge mistake that he’d warned against and Labour’ poor comms and how they’re squandering the opportunity they have with the huge majority leaving the way open for Farage. He was just depressed and depressing.

Funny though how suddenly so many people warned Starmer about appointing Mandelson.

On these threads certainly.

It is all very bloody depressing. Maybe Starmer should do a Major and announce a leadership contest. He might win it.

God knows what will happen next.

I picked this up on SM. I can’t locate any sources I trust saying there was going to be an address. I’m suspicious of ‘cancelled’ when I can’t find ‘announced’. Did you find any?

Just drifting in a reverie, I wonder what would have happened had a Welsh star chosen to perform a 20 minute set on primetime BBC

The irony being I understood more of Bad Bunny in Spanish than I would anybody in Welsh ?

But it also touches on how these threads managed to remain squirrel free when the title is not in a language bots expect ....

We will have visitors if Starmer goes. Speaking of which, is this a sign that Carns will run for leader? Presenting himself as a sort of Anti-Farage?

They have been waiting to pounce ever since Labour was elected.

Will they use their usual username is more the question.🤔

I understnad Milliband is doing well with the bookies but the general feeling seems to be that Starmer has until May.

The squirrels would probably say haven't we the Proms for that sort of thing, in the deluded belief they're being culturally inclusive. (Yes I know it doesn't make sense).

On a Greek island holiday with my Welsh ex we were subjected nightly to a group of male close harmony Welsh singers after they had several bevvys. Ex despaired because in his words "They're not even singing in Welsh."

@BestIsWest more 'Andrew' related stuff about to be exposed?

Breaking news! 🙄

BBC Breaking New Scottish leader Anas Sarwar expected to call for Starmer to stand down. This could be the start.
