I love Philipson's honesty.

We aren't very good at winning and we aren't very good at delivering, so we are going to hang on until the end.

They are turkeys voting to ban Christmas, but based alone on his dealings with Trumpf, Starmmer should stay, his MPs have to stand firm. The alternative is torey style chaos and the country, and the economy, have had enough of that.

Based on the polls the country has had enough of him and his team.

The entire cabinet (?) came out in support of starmer

Hmmm well they would wouldn’t they other wise they would not be in the cabinet any more

They have to get behind him first before stabbing him in the back

Plus the may elections are coming up and if they do badly it will be starmers fault

That Scottish bloke who called for starmers resignation hmmmm

Report on news suggests that he probably recieved incorrect intel ??? Assumed that some cabinet ministers / senior party members would call for starmers resignation ????

Must admit this entire caper makes a few sausage rolls a slice of birthday cake look a bit tame

I think plenty of the crew are going to be caught up in the mandleson thing. Its no coincidence all these advisors are leaving.

Did you see him being interviewed by SKy earlier about this, oh i did chuckle. (edit i guess you did you shared the link doh..)

Beth to Wes - "Wes don't you think its a bit weird all those whatsapps from Mandleson to you are signed with a 'X'?"

Wes - No.

Ok i don't know of many men to men signing their chats with kisses to eachother, and if it does its because they are very close.

Angela Rayner health secretary.. Not a bad role for her, if you have to give her something.

A straight swap would divert from Wez being sacked. And less likely to mount a leadership bid. If he did Kieth would get the support of 80 MPs and wipe the floor with him. Striking now while the iron is hot would also demonstrate Starmmers strength as a leader.

I think the timing of this is likely to be after the by-election.
