It is looking likely that within the next week Starmer will be booted out of office, in which case this isnt what we voted in. Starmer was elected and his policies/ mandate which have turned out to be farsicle to say the least. If Raynor takes over or Miliband surely that means we have not voted for either of these. It would mean that as per usual what we voted for we didn't get.
 
I have never been a fan of calling for general elections when leaders change. That is not how our system works. I suppose if there are massive changes of policy, that might be different.

Its been a farce from day 1, scandal after scandal, its like a soap opera. Another labour leader after only 18months is just ridiculous.
 
Its 50/50 whether Starmmer survives. His MP's will have been be spooked by the correspondence from angry constituents over the weekend but Labor should wait for the outcome of the by election, and then consider calling a general election. It would put Re form on the back foot and probably wipe out the toreys.
 
I’ve always said he’ll be lucky to see his term out.

Kick the perv out imho
Mandy has gone but the elite that continue to support Epsteen after his conviction seem to have got off scot free.

Not so sure those are the odds, I would say when the herd turns against him which there are signs of, his days are well and truly numbered.

The cabinet are supporting him because the alternative (of chaos for the country,and uncertainty for ministers individual career path) is worse. Streeting for example is toast.
 
Morgan McSweeney resigning will cause chaos and unrest as he pulls the rug from under Starmers feet. Labelled as the most unpoplular prime minister in history, I don't rate his chances of survival.
 
Keir should do the decent thing and stand down. But he’s got a history of helping sex offenders, so I doubt he will do.
