How Streeting reaches the 81 MPs
Starmer would prefer not to face Burnham in a head 2 membership ballot some of his supporters “lend” their votes to WS and be joined by pro WS and AOBB MPs
81 is easily reached
Starmer doesn’t need 81 MPs etc

A good piece
This is very telling about how much the fight against Reform has changed
“We're worried about Reform getting out their voters," one senior Labour source told us
Back in 2023 they had virtually no effective GOTV campaign
And yes getting your vote out still matters
New: Some really interesting stuff here from @BobJWilliams including what could happen next if Burnham wins. This stands out: "Starmer can go out in a bloody mess and get battered, which is embarrassing, or he can take the dignified route through legacy". manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

4% see the party as united in wanting a leadership contest 😀
I'm rather amused by the 4%. I mean, let's be honest, Labour is gearing up for a leadership contest, and Starmer is already fighting for his political survival. This is basically "79% of Britons now see water as wet."

And if he says two days after 2029 general election - would that be acceptable
Anything else would paralyse the current government and nothing would progress

To quote the late JP as I haven’t for a while: “Glasman. You know sod all about politics, economic policy, Labour or solidarity. Bugger off”
Labour peer Lord Glasman tells Sky's @cathynewman Sir Keir Starmer’s government lacks a “clear strategic direction" and says he would welcome a leadership contest

Probably my favourite photo of Jo Cox today - speaks to so much more than politics
Sadly I made the mistake of scrolling through the replies
It’s been 10 years. I’ve been thinking of Jo today. Her legacy lives on as we strive to achieve the change she believed in - and worked for.

I admit, the thought of David coming back reminds me of the call for Spurs to appoint a triumvirate of Redknapp, Sherwood and Hoddle last season.

Yeah, I've long since lost any interest whatsoever in anything Glasman has to offer.

Even after a leadership contest there will be bad blood everywhere for the rest of the term. Insane why MPs choose to combust like this
