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...

How DARE you miss gender me? In Canada this is a capital crime.

I apologise, it was an assumption I shouldn’t have made, as I already said.

Even if our pensions take a hit, it’s not actually an issue unless we’re about to retire in the next 5 or so years. If we’re planning to retire later, there is reasonable expectation that our pensions will recover (as people like Martin Lewis and Robert Peston often say). So I don’t think this is a huge issue.

Pretty huge for at least five million British citizens and the estimated fallout is staggering.

I used to use Copilot and Chat GPT for researching links, just as you have, but prefer to research things myself as they’d often give me incorrect links.

Luckily I am clever and self aware enough to- to check first.

I quite like this!

Right it could be a thing? Make elections easier and responsive to public opinion but not TOO responsive?

In theory, this sounds good, but in practice, I don’t think the government would be able to deliver any meaningful work with this level of MP turnover. I can’t see how any policies would ever get seen through and put into law under this system.

Some of us can see the bigger picture a little easier than others.

You're not going to get a general election any time soon. You'll have to wait. Stop copy pasting stuff to this thread and go take a breath.

No you've found a bunch of stuff on the internet that make sense to you and copy/pasted them into this thread.

It's not going to happen until it's time to happen. Which isn't in 26.

Unlike you I’m quite, in fact very, happy to debate

why do you think the Labour government will retain enough legitimacy to last until 2029?

Because that is the mandate it was given?

I’ve not seen logic like this since I had a toddler.

They don’t have to. They have a mandate until then, by law. They are not going to surrender it (which is what an early GE would be).

It doesn’t need to ‘retain legitimacy’. It was elected with a massive majority for a 5 year term and nothing can make that change unless Labour themselves decide to change it - and why would they?
Doesn’t matter if you, the media, or anyone else think they lack legitimacy. That’s not how it works.

That just makes them look like cowards and damages the Labour brand for generations.

No, it makes them look like a party that respects an election.
