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...

Then why are more than 50% of today's bets for a 2026 election?

Always watch the bookies, they are rarely wrong.

These are daft bets by people who do not understand our political system or why early elections happen in the UK. No government calls an election on less than 20 percent of the vote. They hang on. So too will this one

@Twinandatwoyearold Restore Britain can’t gain any meaningful support because their only MP - Rupert Lowe - hasn’t even elected for them, as he defected. So they don’t have any officially elected MPs.

What are you talking about ?

The government has opened the grooming gang inquiry and it is running.

And strengthening unions strengthens workers representation and rights. If “chaos” ensues with a Reform government, that’s Reform’s fault.

Imagine being Wes Streeting and getting all your lackeys to call for Starmer to stand down and then not saying a word at the cabinet meeting. He is sounding more and more pathetic.

She’s quite obviously referring to leasehold. Clutching here I’m afraid.

He doesn’t need to there. Not sure how Labour make the move in being a challenger though.

A statement to the press maybe.

Apparently Starmer is known for being a dirty footballer with a mean tackle. I do not think this kind of guy will be displaced by letters. Streeting will need to take it.

There is an odd logic in a way because basically do enough of these letters and defiance is guaranteed. The Labour Party love process and Starmer will happily use it to drag matters out. Noble appeals are not going to cut it

If he does it later today but didn’t have the guts to say it to Starmer’s face, what kind of person does that make him?

if you think that's how politics works, I have yet another lesson for you on top pf the others given.

No challenge at Cabinet! Streeting is NBG. Really, he will have to work a lot harder than that.

Labour can always be relied on to bring themselves down

So pissed off that this is going on, the country needs a PM to be able to get on with his job without all this party infighting

when are we going to stop being led by opinions of social media ffs

Why bother though, KS is clearly not listening to anyone.

One thing that is interesting is the lack of regard shown to the position of Manchester Mayor.

Burnham didn't say he held the job on so little regard at the election.

If it is a position you can just jump in and out of when you have nothing better to do, maybe the job doesn't need to exist?

I can guarantee you’ve not given me any lessons with your ill informed poses but thanks .

Whose opinions are based on SM? I don’t see or feel any inference of that on this thread. PPs are
are closely following main stream, developing news.

I, other than MN, don’t use SM and I consider myself well informed.

As for the infighting, it was always there. It is not just the result of Labour being in power and
the wicked media, trying to bring them down and SM, and the greedy wealth creators. It was always very fractious coalition.

The bookies are always wrong... no one checks 😂

You do understand why a punter would win more money betting on a 2026 election than they would betting on a 2029 election?

The bookies will take your money! That is their skill. Betting on at 26 or 27 elections is a loser.

The tight odds are on a 29 election at 6/5. That’s a bookie brain right there.

I don’t think you can comment here, as you clearly have no idea how Labour Party processes or politics in general works. What you lack in understanding is made up for by your frothing and effing and blinding.

Bookies rarely lose over the long-term, but they're frequently wrong on many individual bets.

Odds will be dictated by the market and it is the public, who are being whipped into a frenzy, who are triggering this by placing bets. I'd guess this is one the bookies are going to win on, not the gamblers...

Unless someone else challenges Starmer, it’s over for Streeting. He looked so dejected walking out of No 10.

Couldn’t support Starmer like the rest. That’s understandable, but doesn’t have the backing to challenge.

He looked like he had been put in his place.

The op has a point on the cabinet. No one has to go up against a pre Cabinet statement, they can make a move outside it.

From the Guardian:

Several other ministers spoke to journalists as they left No 10 after cabinet this morning.

Peter Kyle, the business secretary, said:

We had a very purposeful cabinet meeting talking about the big issues facing our economy and society. Nothing has been triggered.

I’m about to go off to Brussels to continue working with Brussels to deepen the relationship, to benefit Britain.

We are working hard on the big issues that are facing the country and Keir is showing really steadfast leadership.

Liz Kendall, the technology secretary, said:

The prime minister talked about the challenges we faced as a country, the crisis in the Middle East and the impact on the cost of living here.

And look, this government will do what we were elected to do which is serve the British people. The prime minister has my full support in this.

Let me just say this; there is a process to challenge the leader, nobody has made that challenge and what people would expect me to do is to focus on how we can grow the economy, tackle the cost of living and give them a better life.

And Anna Turley, the Labour chair, said the PM had her “full support”

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, was one of those ministers who did not speak to reporters as he left.

Wes has bottled it @SingleSexSpacesInSchools . He knows he won't get the backing of the PLP. Or the membership.

Bye Wes, I hope Starmer sacks you.

The government doesn’t need legitimacy, and still won’t even if KS goes and they get a new leader, because they have a very good majority (currently 165, down from the 174 majority they had when elected in 2024). Therefore they won’t call an election.
