Link to spreadsheet of Labour MPS calling for resignation - https://x.com/GuidoFawkes/status/2053925699824574889

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...

Just because you keep repeating it, it doesn’t mean it will happen. Very often, governments push on to the bitter end. John Major did, as did Gordon Brown. Obviously they both lost the subsequent elections, but they still stayed in power right to the end of their terms.

If I’m not mistaken, @TemperanceWest said: Starmer didn’t resign. Your links all show he might resign, but not that he has resigned. Or am I mistaken and he’s in fact resigned in the last minute or so?

hes a walking dead man. It’s forgone.

But has he resigned? No. So your predictions in this thread don’t count for anything. You’re just a bored man obsessed with single-issue politics who thrives on poorly constructed arguments.

And all it did was fuck them up for a couple of electoral cycles.

nobody is saying they won’t do it people are just saying it’s a very bad idea.

Is there any part of you that does not think it will be fun given the possible shooting war with Russia the possible shooting war with China the AI apocalypse? The AI investment apocalypse let alone the obvious things happening about Iran and Ukraine everything is fucked.

With respect, you know nothing about me. And the very same things you’ve called me also apply to you. Why are you withdrawing an apology you haven’t made?

I think I may have bumped into you once or twice in person, and I have to say, it’s VERY illuminating to see how respectful you are with people who share your political views and to see how rude you are to those who you disagree with.

Actually, that’s not right. People are saying they won’t do it (and that it’s a very bad idea).

And yet it still will happen things have changed. We are not in the 70s or the 80s or the 90s we have a change of very abrupt immediate political and economic change. We are in a very very bad place. I don’t understand why people haven’t noticed

basically

everything is fucked

pretending it’s not is self deception.

we are on the rollercoaster to hell and nobody seems to have noticed except the economic experts we pay to run the country.

our economic affect is over.

it’s a shame.

remember. Government borrowing his 10% higher than when we fire Liz truss.

tell me again why we should keep Starmer going.
