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...

That’s a bit much, it’s just a chat on politics.

I’m curious is all.

That doesn’t explain anything. Like it or not he’s the leader of the party that won a large majority less than two years ago. All the MPs now complaining stood alongside him and the manifesto. If it’s not working it’s not just his fault, they’re all to blame. Maybe they should get out to their constituents and tell them what’s actually being done on their watch, explain why they voted for or against big set pieces, rather than fucking around with this psychodrama. God it’s so boring and childish.

85 named MPs have called for Keir to go now

I’m not. You’re clearly very invested in politics and have posted through the night. Do you work? Are you at work right now?

You’re like a roving reporter. Maybe you’re a journalist?

It is just a chat on politics..but a poorly informed chat and I think telling another poster to 'piss off' demonstrates the level we are working at.

I really wish Mumsnet had a mute button. Until they do I'll pretend I used it.

Current Bet - If Keir does not go before about 1400 - senior cabinet ministers resign, causing a cascade of resignations and Streeting gets his letters

Leadership campaign running as short a time as possible, Starmer stays as caretaker.

mmm. You read too much GF, OP

Just stop already. You’ve been making the same prediction for days now. Drop this bone, get off Mumsnet and get a job.

Hide the thread @Thefastandthecurious5. Surely that’s easier

It is noticeable that @SingleSexSpacesInSchools has ignored posts challenging her on what she said last night.

Streeting reminds me of the chap who plays the new Labour PM in Secret Service!

@Thefastandthecurious5, the predictions are
all part of the fun. Will he? Won’t he, will he,
won’t he? And on and on!

Come on these are our politicians and you know what they say about politicians.

My DH gets all het up about it. Whereas I follow politics closely, politics is one of my many interests and I love the debate.

Prediction and speculation role on!

Yes, I can explain to you what is shameless about it and I will do so by using a simple analogy.

You have been appointed manager of a sweet shop on a fixed term contract. Your employer believed all the good things you said and were impressed with you. In addition, the sweet shop next door, which was once popular, is failing and the newish sweet shop, down the road had a good following which has ebbed away.

Therefore, your employer is rubbing his hands and waiting for you to do great things for his sweet shop.

However, you decide that selling humbugs has worked for you before. No problem. Your employer knew this was your thinking and that it has contributed to your success.

Alas, the sweet buyers decide that they have gone off humbugs and are enticed back to the old sweetshop and the newer one. Your employer's shop sees a fall off in business.

However, you are determined that selling humbugs is the way forward and believe that it is right for you to continue.

All three sweetshops, including yours, decide to hold an Open Day. The newish sweetshop does brilliantly well-they have ditched humbugs altogether.

No-one wants your humbugs and not only, do new customers fail to take an interest, you lose old customers to your rivals.

Your employer is pretty pissed off. You are ruining his business. He heartly reprimands you. You refuse to take notice.

You bleat, on repeat, that you are doing a good job and you are on a fixed term contract and will see it through.

Your employer and co-workers start to shout that you are a twat-you are destroying their lives.

They get up a petition to get rid of you-you still bleat, on repeat, that you know what you are doing and have a fixed term contract. You say you are bullied.

They tell you to get to fuck and eventually you have to go, still bleating, on repeat, that humbugs are superior.

Anyone who cannot do a job, risks the employment of others, is shown they are not wanted but still sticks to the job is, I think most reasonable people can agree, shameless and cares only for his own skin.

Luckily, in business and commerce, the manager's arse would have been down the road long before the shop was forced to close.

@TemperanceWest @Thefastandthecurious5 the OP is a male poster. He told another poster who had shared her abusive history that she was “wallowing” in her trauma response. Nice guy huh?

I do not know of this program. Looked it up, vaguely recognised the actor. He looks quite charismatic. Whereas Wes Streeting reminds me of the Action Man toy.

I will tune in though.

Literally not me that was someone else.

I am not a labour voter, but what do you think any of the others are going to do? Reform & tories are more less the same thing they want to privatise the nhs, cut benefits for disabled people Reform will get rid of workers rights predominately women will suffer maternity pay etc. not sure at the moment a change is a good thing as a country we need some stability & need a calming presence in the face of chaos that the US has caused. Think they all parties should stop this trying to tear down the PM let him concentrate on running the country rather having one eye on his back waiting for the stab.

Jess Phillips just went.

sticking to my prediction above.
