    It's looking more a case of when rather than if - Newell to....

    ...number 10

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1m2e4nl1z1t

    Radio 5 are reporting that, in addition to Shabana Mahmood who is mentioned in that report, both David Lammy and Yvette Cooper are saying that Keir Starmer should set out a timetable for his departure.

    Apparently, there are now 71 MPs saying publicly that he should either go now or set out a timetable for his departure.

    I think that it will come down to whether Wes Streeting can gather enough support to move quickly before Andy Burnham can become an MP or Angela Rayner can settle her tax position with HMRC. Now has to be his best chance of getting the job if he can get the required level of support.

    I'd like to be a fly on the wall in tomorrow's cabinet meeting.

      What's Raynor settling her tax dodging bill got to do with it, even if she pays it back its only because she got caught!
      Her political career should be over!

      I think the biggest problem is that if you look across not even just Labour but all of the political parties we have . . . who would you replace him with?

      There isn't exactly a lot of quality there is there?

      I know the cheerleaders of various parties will put forwards Badenoch, Farage, Davey and co. But none of them have even close to what it takes.

      I wouldn't say Polanski either by the way before the usual suspects pipe up.

      I find it all quite depressing.

      Burnham, who isn't even an MP looks as good as any I would say.

      This seems to be politics now. The people vote and then the mp's actually decide who should run the country. And in six months more rebellion and some other nomark wants a go at running the country. None of them actually care about fixing the problems is all about themselves.

      Good.

      Needs to happen. He's been largely useless and I was entirely wrong about what I thought he was.

      There was a great quote about him in a Guardian article the other week.

      “most people think that Keir Starmer is a nice guy out of his depth. He’s not. He’s an arsehole out of his depth.”

            Brilliant insight. Miliband or Rayner, a bit like choosing whether to have an arm or leg amputated

              My guess is Streeting or Burnham with the winner being decided by whether Starmer goes now or later. In the current circumstances, Burnham has to face two challenges to become an MP. The first is to get permission to stand and the second is to win a by-election.

                He'd have pissed the Gorton seat in front of the pretend plumber.
                He's done loads of decent things in Manchester. Travelling around the city is so easy and cheap and he's got to take alot of credit for that.
                Like your man in London though, his record on knife crime and homeless isn't great.
                But he's got more bollocks than any labour MP has got. He's not my cup of tea but at least he's got some minerals

                    Whilst it is technically possible it hasn't happened for well over 100 years. Presumably Starmer is the only one who could make him a Lord - would he do so - I'm not sure. If he had the best interests of his party in mind, you would say yes.

                  Burnham will scare Reform to death because he will work with the other progressives from day one.

                  Reform may have gone too soon as three years of Burnham will claw back lots of voters who have been put off by Starmer.

                    I think that Burnham would be far more popular with the public (on all sides) than either Streeting or Rayner. I suppose that Mahmood would be the other possible candidate - maybe the fact that she has gone public with her criticism means that she thinks that she can get the support to challenge now. Seems unlikely to me but who knows.

                      Yes agreed. Burnham is the clear favourite in terms of outside popularity and has far reaching appeal.

                      Maybe he will get his chance at the Clacton by-election??

                        Clacton? With that being his local constituency like?

                          Well with two parliamentary standards enquiries in progress Farage faces the possibility of a recall notice if he is suspended as a result.

                          So more than possible that Clacton is the next by-election available.

                          Although I would imagine Rupert Lowe will also field a candidate which could make it even more interesting!

                            If Farage loses his seat Restore (or whatever they stand as) will win by a landslide. Look at the councillor results in Great Yarmouth last week.


                            outlaws is not the barometer of sanity. You're either Luton full tilt or you are nothing. We have spunked way too much money on shite. The end.

                              Probably not Burnham's dream constituency to stand in Not exactly a safe Labour seat.

                                Burnham is north west. To go anywhere else would be a sell out.
