BREAKING: An ally of Wes Streeting – who came out publicly to call for Starmer to go – says Streeting has “blown it.” They say he has lost support today from MPs who might have backed him and that they now don’t think he has the numbers to get on the ballot. https://t.co/PSx2ent1AQ

Labour MPs, as with Gordom Brown, couldn't organise a pregnancy on a council estate.
Just think of the potential of Wes side story and Maria.
It was really well organised.
If Starmer was a Tory PM he would already have been forced out by lunchtime today
In the name of public service, and as ex-economics editor of BBC Newsnight, I offer to do a zoom call, tonight, with any Labour MP who wants to understand why bond markets do not "fall into line" with governments.

A straightforward thread.
All those people trying to get Starmer out of Downing Street are forgetting he banned no fault evictions.
Manic East European rappers with scantily clad buxom blondes.
Viva Moldova.
They had fourteen years to sort this out. The stupid, stupid bastards.
Unless a Labour MP resigns pretty much immediately it's not going to be too difficult for Starmer to use delaying tactics to say there's no time for a by-election before that date, even if he isn't confident that the NEC will stick by its decision to not let Burnham stand.
He could also say that in the aftermath of Local election results they need time to prepare for both the by-election and the Greater Manchester Mayoral Election so Burnham must stay in post over the summer and can only resign to stand in a by-election in the autumn.
Sources in Downing St say Attorney General Richard Hermer is looking at whether, in the light of today, Labour’s NEC can suspend Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham for 1) conduct prejudicial or grossly detrimental to Party; 2) disrepute; 3) factionalism; or 4) undermining unity.

At this rate Starmer can take the fall for losing another 1,500 councillors next May.
I mean, it is catastrophic for the country yes. But also
hahahahhaha
And it means we really really will get a proper Hard Right government
They will only wound big dog, not send him off to live on a farm.
Thereby causing a long drawn out period of paralysis.
On the latest poll Labour are fourth in VI and Baxtering puts them sixth in seats. They need a miracle worker - who dances turn all this around in less than three years
If he does manage to succeed in his aim he's going to cheer up Liz Truss enormously.
One of these jokers has to deal with Putin and Trump.
Be afraid.
They are unable to move against him, but he’s unwilling to budge. His authority has gone, in much of his party and with the country, but he remains in position. How does the Labour Party move forward from here? He is a lame duck, rejected by the country and not accepted by his party - but they cannot get rid of him.
They’ve just delivered the worst of all worlds to themselves. If I were Farage or even Badenoch I’d be laughing myself silly right now.
Streeting less so but he might win over a few Tories and LDs
103 districts with all seats, 44 districts with 1/3 seats, 35 Unitary authorities all seats, 14 Unitary with 1/3 seats.
Tees Valley will be 100% Reform unless things rapidly change.
(Let's pretend it's a real plate).
One of only five pubs to appear in every edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. The wooden arrangement in the background should allow you to guess its name.
Surprised to see my name on this list when I haven’t either signed any letter supporting the PM or called for the PM to go??
Not very courteous of colleagues to put names down without their approval

Are Labour MPs so fxcking stupid that they’d vote for him and turn a clusterfxck into a total catastrophe?
By the sea
I have no idea what the wooden structure is and no idea of the pub. I’ll gamble on

That should give you hope. Courage, my friend. We can do this. We can get Big Nigel into power
How many times are you going to post that poll ? 3 years is a long time . I’d save the bunting for the timebeing!
'Angela Rayner is telling Labour MPs she is ready to launch a leadership campaign, despite remaining under investigation over her tax affairs.
In recent days, the former deputy prime minister has signalled she could fall in behind Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham in any leadership contest.
But Labour sources have told the Mail that she is still canvassing MPs for support for her own campaign if Keir Starmer is forced to quit at short notice.'

Until just now I have posted it all of three times in 13 hours. Maybe Just twice. Not exactly a barrage
Why would anyone give labour a hearing and the trouble is this is virtually a fractured party with no resolution in sight
On a somewhat different point, I'm not convinced by the 'the Tories left such a mess that it will take a long time to sort out' line that keeps getting trotted out. Sunak, for all of his faults, genuinely did sort out a lot of the mess in those final two years and gave an incoming Labour government something to work with, but Labour (as usual) have in some ways made things worse and where they might have made things better they have been terrible at communicating it.
I think they will be happy with that. Indeed avoiding actual government means they can carp from the opposition benches - ideal for a full assault on national power in 28-29
How do these people get elected ?
So she expects Starmer to hang around for 4 months as a lame duck and then resign to allow a leadership challenge to take place .
I wonder how many of his 'allies' who resigned didn't even know they were his allies.
It's not ideal but if we ruled out parties for all their failures we would have to either abstain or vote Count Binface.
The LDs doing ok, but being ignored, could likely explain a dip for them if it were not also MOE.
You have to laugh really or you’d cry . The economy is about to implode and Labour MPs couldn’t even run a chook raffle!
