So it begins….. Streeting resigns

I’m very disappointed, the knives are out! 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I heard someone being interviewed about the present situation . His comment was that they should all grow up. Mine too
I am sick to to death of the lack of loyalty,the inability to pull together and the sky is falling attitude.~That includes Streeting, Burnham, Rayner and all the media hacks frothing at the mouth at the thought of a story.GROW UP the lot of you.
I actually have wondered who is behind this stirring, this attempt to produce devisiveness, because , believe me there is someone somewhere who is orchestrating the whole thing, aided and abetted by s.m.

Almost 90 MP’s have told Starmer to go.
It wasn’t ‘orchestrated’ by any one person but by many who can plainly see the sinking direction of the Labour Party due to a very lacklustre PM.

I didn't vote for Starmer but the situation is ridiculous,can't we have a PM complete a full term..I like Andy Burnham but is he PM material? Angela Rayner,not at all and Wes Streeting reminds me of an ex boss of mine,little bit too full of himself

Is the present PM PM material?

It’s basically fairly communist in its aspirations

Intriguing.

We can have him complete a full term if you want Labour to lose the next election or have to power share with Polanski.

Labour have turned out to be as self serving, tawdry and back stabbing as the Tories ever were. More interested in securing their own careers than what's best for the country. After living through 14 years of the lies, sniping and in-party politics from the Tories, I'd really hoped that Labour would be different; really meant it when they spoke about being a mission-driven government and pledged to clean up politics by ensuring the "highest standards of integrity and honesty" and strengthening ethics in public life. It was all lies; they're no bloody different.

Bloody fools.

I’ve lost patience with them.

Streeting had better have a slate that is whiter than white because if he hasn’t the right wing press will have him for breakfast. Likewise all the potential PMs.

Let's face it thd press don't actually need facts.

Why dont they need facts?

When havent they used facts?

🤦🏻 Thank you for the words. I have none 🙇🏻‍♀️

Totally fed up with all this. I have stopped watching or listening to the news. It is too depressing watching the people we have elected to represent our best interests acting in such self serving and immature ways.

Josh Simmons mp for Makerfield has announced his resignation to allow sandy Burnham to stand ….

Simons…. Andy

My thoughts entirely. Who is set to gain from all this. Because it isn’t the electorate or this country. Reminds me of all the orchestrated pre referendum stuff.

The arrogance of being so sure the people in that constituency can be 'used' to elect Burnham is astounding. Yes it's the safest Labour seat so he probably will be elected but if I lived there I'd definitely bristle at the assumption my vote was a given.

I also wonder how Mancunians are feeling seeing as Burnham is kicking them to the kerb in order to further his career.

It reminds me of all the football teams that sack their managers because they’ve lost a few games, have to pay him off with millions, use a caretaker manager for a while then take on a new manager who does no better and they’re back where they started. The old manager then accepts a new lucrative contract with another club and the whole process begins again. All because everyone is trying to find the next Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger but don’t realise that they only come along once in a blue moon.

It is blatant skullduggery and nobody is going to come out of this looking good.

Will he win though? That doesn't look like a big enough majority to me, considering the results of the by elections.

Of Labours communications and public relations teams had been better we wouldn’t be where we are now.

Which is up the creek without the proverbial paddle.

I am getting increasingly concerned that these idiots are tantamount to handing the keys of No.10 to either Farage or Polanski.

In either case we as a country are completely screwed!!!!

I agree ☹️☹️😢😢

Thats what I was thinking especially if the electorate are fed up of this whole debacle and all vote Reform

They need to reflect on last week's local results, when this country clearly did not vote for Left Wing politics.
The names in the frame are all totally unsuitable, surely there is someone in this "Big Labour majority" suitable to replace Starmer?
They bang on about 14 years of Tory Government, for goodness sake.
Without doubt a one term Government.

I think we should form the Gransnet Party - we'd have the country ship shape and in Bristol fashion before you could say Boris Johnson

Yay! Let’s go!!

👏👏👏👏👏

Was ever thus. The plotting, scheming, cosying up and backstabbing in the corridors of power. Nothing changes and it’s the country that suffers.

Nothing in politics is a given, and, despite being a Labour supporter (hanging on with my grim teeth!), I’d laugh my blooming head off if Andy Burnham lost.

The egos of our MPs on all sides of the political spectrum is utterly astounding!

I'd be right there with you Cossy. Isn't that just the saddest part, we had years of the Conservatives tearing themselves apart to the point of destruction, and in less than 2 years Labour are following suit. Will they never learn?
