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 are you saying the Jewish people who spoke about the anti-semitism they experienced made it all up and were paid to do so?

I think the chances of calling an election are extremely low. Remember when Johnson left, then Truss came, then Sunak came? Did we have an election at any point in that time? No.

Ladies and gentlemen the biggest stretch of 2026.

This thread is how I imagine a TikTok fever dream to play out.

Meantime, the grown ups have to get up for work in the morning…

Not Keir. He is already planning his long long holiday....

Restore don’t have any sitting MPs btw. Rupert Lowe is the only Restore MP but he wasn’t elected for that party.

Well, to echo @TemperanceWest, what are you saying? What’s your view?

.

So you condemn Farage's behaviour.

I don’t think @SingleSexSpacesInSchools gives two hoots, to be honest. I don’t think she knows what she thinks. I think she is bored and just wants to create some drama 🙄

Agree that a fair proportion of this is down to him not having control of his backbenchers, and having to pander too much to their concerns, weakening policy and resulting in moves that have been unpopular.

What's wrong with the Labour Party whips? They don't seem to be able to do the job like the Tory whips manage. Is it weakness or have they been sabotaging?

Nobody is saying Reform are in power today

Yet you're saying Farage will 100% be PM by the end of this year or in next year.
So which is it? You sound awfully confused.

Is this something you want? It’s not really on the cards, they don’t have enough MPs and nobody would go into coalition with them. More to the point, who wants a couple more wasted years pissing about with popularity contests?

I think Streeting will wait until Burnham / Rayner lose the next election.

He can’t unite the party and so no needs an electoral defeat to keep the left wing of his party quiet for a bit.

I like Andy, and really hope he succeeds. I mean we all should, but he has an impossible job.

Well that was a stupid comment that he made but that doesn't automatically make Farage a champion of women's rights.

Our MP is on the list. He has published a letter on his Facebook page and is taking an absolute pasting in the comments. I have asked who he thinks should take over but of course there is no reply.
He is PPS to Wes Streeting and apparently has resigned from that position. So who knows what that means.

I doubt Nigel Farage cares about women. I think he’s only ever cared about himself. It winds me up that he’s used politics to get so rich and that he’ll have a £73k annual pension from next year from his time as an MEP. I hope he never becomes PM.

Honestly, fuck politics.

That isn't true. I read it years ago in a Simon Kuper book.

rubbish, its not over till the person sings, and he will still be leader,

@SingleSexSpacesInSchools why don’t you just boot Keir Starmer out yourself and become PM? I’m sure you’d make a wonderful PM.

Keir Starmer & his cronies shot themselves in the foot not allowing Andy Burnham to stand in the Denton by election, that was the start of his downfall.

I don’t really understand why the Labour Party isn’t getting behind Yvette Cooper at this point tbh. I’m pretty sure she’s in a safer seat than Angela Rayner, has not been involved in any scandal I can recall..She’s been Home Secretary, foreign secretary and previously headed up the DWP along with a position in the treasury. She’s giving John Major vibes after Thatcher for me - unlikely to spook the markets which we definitely need right now. But then again, the Labour Party seems to overlook any woman for leader….she’s 20/1 odds rn if anyone fancies a flutter…

I think Labour are making a fatal mistake here. Looks like Green Party will be my future option.

It's kind of interesting to see the links between anti trans, the right and conspiracy theories exposed here.

There won't be a general election because Labour have a massive majority in parliament. That's the only authority they need. This isn't the US. We don't vote for a PM (like they do a president). Instead, we vote for a party, hence why the party can remove its own leader and continue in government.

I rather suspect that the reason Reform voters are screaming hysterically for a GE as soon as possible is because they're painfully aware that their current success is premature. Over the next 3 years, they won't be able to deliver on their promises, the party will descend into squabbling, backbiting and some sort of power struggle, meaning they won't look electable by 2029. To add to this, there's only so long you can bone on about single issues, e.g. trans men in changing rooms, before you sound like a broken record / insane and people are sick to death of you.

Long story short, there won't be a general election (the market doesn't want one, isn't at all spooked, FTSE100 is stable), and Reform are stuck with 3 years in local government to demonstrate how ineffectual they'll be at national level.
