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...

So you’re saying those who didn’t call an immediate election still had democratic legitimacy. Well, KS and his government still have democratic legitimacy. And they will continue to even if KS goes. So an immediate election isn’t needed here.

Starmer has exactly the sort of political legitimacy a middle manager for Asda in Liverpool might have.

fuck all.

And yet there still will be one. We cannot survive like this the world has changed at too much.

The world changing doesn’t change anything. If it did it would make stability more important. A GE would challenge that.

Let’s be real clear - do you think Streeting could take us back into the EU without a new GE?

and he says he will?

Returning briefly to the original subject of the thread...

Streeting has absolutely screwed himself. He will never be PM. And Starmer didn't resign.

@SingleSexSpacesInSchools called it as wrong as wrong can be.

We’ve answered. You keep banging on about ‘legitimacy’ when you’ve been told that was conferred by the GE. That’s the only sort that matters. It’s irrelevant what you think about it.
Plus your contention nobody is doing anything to improve the country is wrong too.
