Significant Times piece by @patrickkmaguire Looks like planned, procedural exit for Starmer after the expected May 7/8 local election disaster: • Cabinet ministers are now privately concluding that Starmer cannot survive the fallout. • The favoured scenario is not an immediate coup, but an “orderly transition” where Starmer is persuaded (or pressured) to announce a timetable for stepping down. • A new leader would be in place by Labour Party conference (late September / early October 2026) • Maguire names @AndyBurnhamGM as a central figure in this thinking. He notes that soft-left powerbrokers (Miliband, Rayner, Haigh) see Burnham as a viable route back into frontline politics and the leadership contest. Maguire writes that this “bloodless regicide” would suit most of the cabinet: it buys time, avoids a messy immediate leadership election, and gives Burnham a runway to return to the Commons and prepare. https://thetimes.com/article/8d388f0a-08b1-4855-b62b-f3a07118a5e1?shareToken=f6b69a12a142b6752de9a01cbe533118

President Trump says Starmer has to go , he has no chance ! It’s unprecedented for a US President to publicly call for a UK Prime Minister to resign isn’t it ?

They’re already in an “electoral death spiral” and it’s being led by @Keir_Starmer . You’d may wish to continue being his chief fluffer, @MatthewStadlen , but @UKLabour MPs (having seen the disaster in May) will be concerned for their seats.Kathy Gyngell: The St George flag stands ...
How dare you @Keir_Starmer The St George flag stands for all you are not The beta-male morally devoid shameless hypocrite that you are is the very antithesis of bravery, chivalry, and the triumph of good over evil
Alex Wickham: That was process-y but pretty ...
That was process-y but pretty extraordinary evidence by Cat Little. We seem to be in the middle of a flame war between the Cabinet Office and Foreign Office who are both offering contradictory versions of events on the key matter in MPs’ minds as they weigh Keir Starmer’s future

Keir Starmer is being told to f*** off at the football, f*** off at the darts & f*** off at the races…Kemi needs to stop trying to get him on a technicality and just go after him personally. The bloke’s a walking meme. Humiliate him.
Howard Beckett: Starmer & Mandelson had been in...
Now we know: •Starmer & Mandelson had been in discussions for “many years” •They couldn’t wait to “work together” •Starmer considered Mandelson to be “brilliant” A damning insight into the judgement of Starmer And a stark reality: Starmer was Mandelson’s puppet.Liz Webster: Starmer promised a “Brexit reset” that ...
Starmer promised a “Brexit reset” that would make travel easier. Instead, we have punch-ups in queues, 3.5-hour waits, missed flights and airports suspending the new post-Brexit EES checks. From Lisbon to Milan to Paris, holidaymakers are paying the price for the halfway-house reset that delivers neither frictionless travel nor real sovereignty. This is Brexit reality 10 years on. https://inews.co.uk/news/stuck-queue-post-brexit-checks-fights-broke-out-4370350Read more
