Are we all looking forward to David Lammy becoming PM?

There's no way Starmer can survive this latest scandal.

Lord Mandelson failed his security vetting for the US ambassador job, but he still got the post anyway.

Starmer stood up in Parliament last September and insisted "full due process" was followed — three times.

He therefore either misled parliament and has to resign under the Ministerial Code, or his advisors have misled him and parliament, which is likely a criminal matter and suggests a level of almost unbelievable government incompetence or corruption.

What great things are you hoping this country will achieve under PM Lammy?

Agree with this. We’re heading towards WW3 with that lunatic across he Atlantic in charge. We need some stability.

As a ‘Rights Hoarding Dinosaur’ I’ll be happy when Lammy gets booted out.

Err no. The country deserves better. Give us a war coalition government if necessary but not including Starmer or Lammy.

Well, exactly. This is Lammy’s and the senior Civil Service’s scandal.

It’s certainly been left to Yvette Cooper and Starmer to clean up though.

I know that Hell doesn't have an apostrophe in it brainypops

If we’re heading to war (which I don’t think we are), I’ll take some disruption in government over a prime minister who ignores his security services.

Lammy PM? Jeez how low can this country sink that that is even an option?

Somebody who thinks men can take hormones to grow a cervix running the country.....yeah lets do it !!

Don’t forget all the women who were voicing their thoughts perfectly legally (as confirmed by the Supreme Court a year ago) are ‘rights hoarding dinosaurs’.

Lammy’s credibility is zero.

He absolutely should. He needs to be held accountable.

I always thought it backfired for torries when they went with Bo Jo

Im not a big fan of labour but we need stability and I think Starmer should stay.

I'd be more surprised to see Starter go than stay. He's ridden it out this far and there's currently no obvious natural successor (cc: Andy B...)

Two pages in and no one has mentioned Angela Rayner? She is still the bookies' favourite according to oddschecker

Kemi, that you? Another random non-event post to bash Starmer written by a political party intern

I’d love it to be Andy Burnham. Is there any chance?

Another day, another Starmer / Labour bashing thread from @ProudAmberTurtle. In the last week or so, you’ve started one on Reeves and the economy (in which your masked slipped and you made some gutter comments on people on welfare and immigrants); another one on Labour polling low; then another one on Labour U-turns and now this. As I said last time, you are free to do this and debate is good, but it’s repetitive and has a clear agenda. I wonder what you’re going to jump on next?

I totally agree and have been making this point all day. Sadly it’s mostly fallen on dear ears.

I’d be delighted with any competent, honest, decent person from any party at all right now.

Not sure that any party has any of those.

It's a autocorrection. Calling a poster 'brainypops' shows you are an arse.

No. Labour won the election.
That's how it works.
Plus: it's Keir .

I agree. I think continuity and stability is very important.

I agree but be prepared for the OP to call you brainypops.

It's finding one that's the hard part!!

Very much so, Graham Stringer could make way for him, but now isn’t the right time. They need Starmer to take the flack for May elections first. Burnham wont be blocked twice, the optics would be awful.
