Streeting has to make his move now, Starmer will never be this weak and he has the chance to go now.

Burnham might be more likely to win, but he is not in, and where exactly is a safe seat by election they could parachute him in for? (nowhere)

So - Streeting will never have a better chance of being PM, he pulls the trigger NOW or he never pulls it at all.

I did say on Thursday that I thought it would be Friday or Monday.... Tuesday is a pretty good guess.

This is a quiet Bat People moment... That Speech... not worth remembering...

I really don't think Streeting will go for it right now. I think Starmer will be forced to set out a timetable etc.

SingleSexSpacesInSchools · Yesterday 21:58

Starmer is a dead man walking

80 MPs - its done

If Streeting does not go NOW - he never can

As soon as Burnham gets in, his chances shrink hugely

so he goes - NOW

Streeting is in. Angela tax fraud Rayner will try and plot against him. He’ll be toast in a year.

Welcome Prime Minister Farage.

No doubt in my mind Farage is PM in later 26, or early 27 - 100% sure of it

Hung Parliament, more chaos

Reform gets a majority quite possibly on there own or way more likely, as a three way informal campaigning agreement between Tories, Restore and Reform

Nope. It’ll be a massive Reform majority. Especially as Walter titty and his merry band of misfits will split the Labour vote.

What do you mean? Current polls suggest a GE would result in a hung Parliament.

Changing leader doesn't trigger an election

Exactly, please can those expecting an election explain how this is going to come about?

Not directly. But Big Ange will sink the economy faster than you can say non yields. And Streeting will be ousted by tax fraud Angela in no time. Triggering a GE

Vargas · Yesterday 22:09

Why would there be a general election?

DelphiniumBlue · Yesterday 22:09

This feels like Brexit again. There isn’t a clear candidate, Labour are shooting themselves in the foot, giving Reform a free run.

Because a coalition is the most likely outcome

No problem with Burnham as long as Labour pay for the resulting mayoral election as he’s got 2 years to go.

ah you're funny.

I have made this point a hundred times here the last few days.

No it does not trigger one. But any new leader wants a mandate and authority . they only get that with an election

Nightmare. Starmer is rubbish but Rayner?!?! Utter madness that this person could be PM. What an embarrassment for our country.

An election, I might add, that I am increasingly thinking will be fought on a basis of "elect us and get PR and then we vote again"

What's happening with reeves , would she be a possibility for pm ?
Everything has gone quiet around her and yet it's her taxes and ni that has been a death knell for business.

CurlewKate · Yesterday 22:12

I don’t think Streeting’s going to go now. He’s too politically ambitious, and he knows he’s young enough to wait.

That wouldn't trigger a GE.

We had Cameron then May without a GE until May decided to call one. Then we had Johnson replace May with no GE until Johnson decided to call one. Then Truss, then Sunak with no GE.

Not as if we have not seen that in the last three years yet alone in living memory....

There are hundreds of very plausible scenarios where a GE is called before Christmas.

And a dozen examples of when a GE WAS called early in the last 100 years.
