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...

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.

I think Reeves would do well to remain quiet right now.

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

Young enough to wait 15 years?

Because thats absolutely what we are looking at

But surely a party has the choice to call one and they would only do so if they thought they had a chance of winning ?

This is the best joke on the internet today.

Reeves as PM.

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.

I think you are going to be very disappointed.

FatEndoftheWedge · Yesterday 22:15

@OneTealShaker surely it's a joke she ever became chancellor and stranger things have happened at sea !

Friday night, Monday and now Tuesday?

Hope you haven't placed a bet

OneTealShaker · Yesterday 22:16

Farage and his backers will be putting their campaign manifesto as we speak.

The markets and the city will probably consider backing him now. Once that’s in place, a GE is inevitable within the next 12 months.

This shower of shit government is finished. Like the last shower of shit government.

I do find the Burnham fans deeply puzzling.

No.

It has nothing to do with knowing for sure they will win and everything to do with governing with a mandate and with authority

Right now they do not have it, as proven with the local elections

if they do NOT call an election they will be hounded to call one every single PMQs and every newspaper article for YEARSs

Let alone the chance of civil unrest

Well.

I was absolutely predicting he would limp on as a lame duck.

Think he has to go now....

Would anyone here back Mahmood?

lurchersforever · Yesterday 22:18

If they do this I'll never hope for anything again. I'm livid with these irresponsible MPs - what on earth are they thinking. I have voted Labour all my life, we wait 14 long years for another government and then this is what they do - basically gifting the country to Reform. If I lived somewhere that arrogant fuck Burnham tried to parachute into I would vote for the looney party in the by-election.

@OneTealShaker well if that's the case let's hope he's got some actual solutions in place for our many problems and is consulting the experts for the answers !!

Not 14 or so years in the wings and seemingly not formulating anything at all .
Also the hard left will to absoltuy nuts and we will have to endure protests.

From the Guardian:

"One cabinet minister told the Guardian: “In the end Keir has listened to cabinet ministers – there are differences about where this will go and what is in best interests of party and country. He’ll have to make a decision about what he’s going to do before cabinet tomorrow”.

Labour stopped giving a fuck about working people, women, Great Britain, about ten years ago. They made their bed, they can lie in it.

I just wish we didn't have to lay in their bed mess with them
