“I’m not sure he will , they’ll hope with today’s resignation for things to quieten down”.
That doesn’t seem likely. Several Labour MPs are still calling for Starmer to go, as are some trade unions leaders.
If Rayner didn’t have the HMRC investigation hanging over her, or if Burnham was in the Commons, or if Streeting wasn’t preoccupied with frantically deleting all links with Mandelson from his social media profiles, the likelihood is Starmer would already have been challenged by now.
