Starmer ready to fight for his leadership, he says.
So, while the country is facing a huge welfare issue, a defence issue, an economic growth crisis, a young unemployment crisis Labour will soon plunge the country into a leadership election.
Burnham intent on parachuting himself into the PM pos, with Starmer intent on going nowhere.
The Tories always held their leadership elections when all was going swimmingly, of course.
There’s never a good time for these , I bet Starmer is hoping England get to the semis at least …

I see that Reform are out to 6s to win in Makerfield. I’m sure that Drone will be following the old pro punting rule and going in again as the prices drift.
No I won’t, quite content to have got ~11/4 on an assessed 2/1 chance.
Just another bet along the infinite punting continuum: the rollercoaster of happiness and misery.
Wilkins Micawber, he knew
That will be 6 bi-elections and Reform have won ….. none , I wonder if Farage will be hanging about the car park like a cheap hooker

He might as well. He knows Starmer’s time in Downing Street is coming to its end. He has probably been promised a better job by Burnham anyway.
Healey said he could not accept the settlement in the Defence Investment Plan because it fell ‘well short of what is required’ at a ‘dangerous time’.
He puts the boot in, to Starmer and Reeves:
‘You have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.’Labour former defence secretaries Lord Hutton and Geoff Hoon branded the situation a ‘car crash’ and urge MPs to drop their opposition to curbing welfare to free up cash.
Healey’s deputy Al Carns warned the plan is not ‘fit for purpose’, saying HMG has ‘got to sort this out’.The leader of the Unite trade union also waded in about the threats to defence jobs, thru inaction.
Labour at war…..with themselves.
This government is in freefall. Jeez, we’re not even at 2 years yet!!
With whom are you siding between Reform and Restore these days?
I’d be interested in seeing how many of our resident right wingers have already deserted Nige for the even more extreme mob led by Lowe.
We’ve had two years of Trump. Western countries can no longer rely on America for defence now it has a president that seems to be more on the side of Russia. And we wouldn’t be in such a mess if the Tories hadn’t ran down our armed forces.Still, I suppose Burnham will now say he will increase defence spending when he’s PM along with having the money to renationalise everything.
After the antisemitic attacks earlier this year, Starmer announced that the government will do “everything in our power to keep British Jews safe” and there was a Cobra meeting about the situation; why hasn’t he said anything similar this week? Houses, buses and cars are literally on fire, yet this idiotic rioting is not worthy of the same level of response, apparently.
Quite how setting a bus on fire is going to affect Hadi Alodid, who was already in police custody at the time, is beyond me.
Well done for using the correct description of ‘rioting’. These are not ‘protestors’ with ‘legitimate concerns’ who are ‘just asking questions’. They are quite simply violent thugs. 27 people lost their homes on Tuesday, almost certainly among them women and children who I am sure the rioters claim to care about so much.
Where were they when all of these violent murders were happening?
Al Carns, Armed Forces Minister resigns!
Dear, oh dear.
What a mess…of their own making, i might add.
The chant goes up from the hoardes of Labour loyalists
“3 more years! 3 more years!”Starmer has tried to appease everyone , you can’t , I’ve been in a minor management role for 26 years , sometimes you have to say no , sometimes make enemies , today was the ” Howe ” moment , as Thatcher found out when your friends are deserting you then it’s time to at pack bags

To be fair Wilts it’s still less of a mess then 14 years of the Tories

The chant goes up from the hoardes of Labour loyalists
“3 more years! 3 more years!”I’m far from a “Labour loyalist”, but the best thing for the country is three more years, for two reasons: firstly, it gives Labour time to reset and progress and secondly it gives the whole country three years to see just how incompetent Reform (and Restore) would be in government.
Anyway, are you going to answer my question or should I just add it to the long list of ones you either won’t or can’t answer?
