Not just 100+ Labour MPs that want Starmer to go but also
Foreign Secretary
Home Secretary
Energy Secretary
+ A "sizeable number" in the Cabinet
Starmer is a fool he should go on Monday. Cabinet on Wednesday and then PMQs will be vicious. He can't be dumb enough not to say he's quitting before then?

Beth Rigby and the political press are getting very excited. Let's apply some cold water.
Makerfield was a referendum on the most unpopular PM in modern polling history. Voters had one simple calculation: vote Andy, get Starmer out.

Shame on every news programme and presenter who doesn't make clear the social media ban for under 16s actually means a national digital ID scheme for every adult who uses a device. Added bonus, US tech oligarchs like Musk will hold this ID data.

Today the media is full of "who could have seen this coming?" Many of us could. In 2020. Six years ago I wrote that Starmer was on track to be the worst Labour leader ever. Not after the local election wipeout. In 2020, before he'd even had a full year.

This is spot on. 👇
The MoD can't manage its current budget, the "Russia invades Britain" scenario is never actually spelled out, Trident's whole purpose contradicts the invasion panic, and benefit cuts are the only funding option anyone's allowed to mention. Worth a read.
