I’m saddened to see Streeting resign and now he’ll start the protracted process of attempting to usurp the PM and take his place.

I’m sad because this is the first time this has happened to a Labour PM whilst still serving in power, sad because this will cause yet more chaos and economic and financial instability and sad because I’m actually pretty sick of all politicians at this moment!

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.

It’s not just the right wing press that won’t hold back with any muck-racking. The Tories were at the mercy of the left wing press when they were in office. Where does that leave us, the electorate whilst they pull each other to pieces? Up the creek, that’s where.

Corbyn has started an attack

So very sick and tired of all this. How on earth is it helping anybody?

I despair of them all. This country is going to the dogs whilst they snipe and bicker at one another. Can they just get on with the job they were elected to do? Best leave Starmer where he is and see if he can turn things around. Clutching at straws here.

I have to agree. Completely the wrong time and could do such damage to our already damaged country.

What a waste of time, energy, rescources. Just do your bloody jobs properly. Like the rest of the population.

I have to say I was impressed with Streeting’s statement that was read out on R4 a little while ago. Concise, articulate, to the point, no waffle.

Lets hope its the end of his political career. Backstabbers the lot of them.
