This is more of an example of the mood of the country.The Blackpool South by-election was the eye opener for me. Been Tory for most of its existence, yet Labour polled more votes this week than Conservatives and Reform combined.
God I hope not.I read something similar, and it suggested Sadiq Khan as Starmer's replacement.
Even down here in a Labour area there are a lot of people who don't like him, what's he done, useless etc etc etc.God I hope not.
The stand-out for me is Andy Burnham, towers over Starmer and the rest.
The Times are saying they've now shelved plans for a summer election, so presumably things were worse than the Tories were expecting.
Gutted we have to suffer another half of year of these d***heads.
The third major point was that if the Labour majority is as much as some are predicting then Stamer is a dead man walking and will be ousted in 6-12 months to be replaced by someone significantly further to the left.
The Mail, Express, and Telegraph would roar him on. Most of their readers already think the ECHR provides the dinghies.I for one can't wait to see if Sunak has leaving the echr in the tory manifesto. That will be a watershed low point for the UK and I would hope the press would gut sunak for suggesting it.
Then this talk about Sadiq and Burnham. They'd be less than one year into their Mayoral terms. They're not MPs so can't come to the House of Parliament. So how does it work, will a Labour MP be bumped off to force a by-election? It's crazy talk.
Not sure I subscribe to this really and for many reasons. If you listen to Momentum pundits (including a few on here) Labour won't even have any left wing MPs after the next GE. But if they do, the conspiracy theorists who claim Starmer is purging all left wing voices from the LP will need to find something else to bleat about. So who would challenge Starmer and where would they expect to get their support from? After 15 years in opposition it would be political suicide to even attempt to ditch the incumbent. But nothing would surprise me about those with an axe to grind.

Of its in the manifesto it becomes a talking point at debates. The tories won't be able to hide behind the telegraphThe Mail, Express, and Telegraph would roar him on. Most of their readers already think the ECHR provides the dinghies.
Talk about projection. It wasn't the left who derailed a democratically elected party leader from day one. It wasn't the left who conspired to create a completely fabricated crisis in order to discredit the party leader. It wasn't the left who deliberately sabotaged the last real chance of a Labour-led Parliament.Not sure I subscribe to this really and for many reasons.

Not a chance Starmer will be ousted and replaced by someone significantly further to the left. For one thing, Badenoch, Braverman and Patel have ruled themselves out. Only joking LOTL.I saw a study this week pre Thursday's elections. Was predicting a significant Labour majority at GE.
The second point was about policies, and basically said whoever wins has no room for manoeuvre because the cupboard is bare and there's no spare money to implement policy changes. The conclusion from that was the only solution was tax rises, and as there's always a desire to get bad news out of the way early on in an election cycle they would be significant, but not before March 2025.

And there we have it. An unqualified denial that antisemitism flourished in the Labour Party on the watch of your man. I'm generally not surprised by a lot of antisemitic bile spouted on SM but to see it here is a new low for this forum.It wasn't the left who conspired to create a completely fabricated crisis in order to discredit the party leader.
Thanks, but I don't do bleating. I challenge instead. Bleating, which you've perfected, is the preserve of protest. Enjoy getting nowhere fastIf it's the sort of politicking you're happy with then you're welcome to it, but don't 'bleat' when the Tories, Reform etc. do it better.
That's funny but remember you have a duty of care to the more gullible posters on the forumNot a chance Starmer will be ousted and replaced by someone significantly further to the left. For one thing, Badenoch, Braverman and Patel have ruled themselves out. Only joking LOTL.
