Starmer becoming basically corbyn by refusing to go even though every other leader says he would be very funny if unfortunately didn't affect me

Yes. People love to paint Corbyn and Starmer as opposites but there are throughlines over their tenures atop the Labour Party: corrosive, faux macho bullying, horrible appointments made for loyalty rather than competence, a sneering indifference to racism & gaslighting of its victims
(If No.10 and its outriders had an ounce of self-awareness, they’d be asking themselves why the government’s flaws are uncomfortably similar to the Corbyn leadership’s flaws)

The way Chris pincher has been basically been erased from boris downfall is really instructive in Westminster culture and how these people get away with it
I see we're back to "Johnson resigned because of a party" and not because he employed a known sex pest, lied about what he knew, and more than half his cabinet resigned as a result.

sources close to Keir Starmer tell me that Keir Starmer is ‘moisturised’, ‘in his lane’ and ‘thriving’

The labour party will literally vote for me before they vote for shabana mahmood
“There is not a vacancy, but I think Shabana Mahmood’s doing a bloody good job”.

i feel like a way George R R Martin could wrap up ASOIAF is by having it turn out that all their castles have lead piping. Tyrion discovers lead is bad and gets them swapped out and they stop fighting

Wow that's so labour party....an argument where everyone is incorrect
Ed Balls "People say McSweeney was the man who transformed Labs prospects from disaster to victory"

@hackneyabbott.bsky.social "This idea that McSweeney was an election genius ignores the figures.. in '24 the Lab vote was more or less the same as '19. What happened was the Tory vote split"

I work at a hotel and if I did like 1/10 of he did I'd be fired lol
All the talk of the 'difficult circumstances' for McSweeny, whilst if I, a fairly small comms cog, at a fairly small think tank, fucked it as hard as this man did ten times before lunch - even once in my entire career? I would be rightfully blacklisted.

This is probably rly ignorant to ask but why can't Angela rayner just pay her tax bill when she already said she fucked up

British politics has lost a giant, a visionary.

Who else could have conceived a strategy of "Labour's route to power goes through middle England marginals and involves appearing economically credible"?

Who even believed it possible for a govt to alienate two thirds of its voters within 18 months?

I am hearing that on his resignation Morgan McSweeney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

PUT THE PICTURES OF HIM TEARFULLY CARRYING HIS THINGS OUT IN A BOX STAT

NEW: PM’s Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney resigns

“After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the government. The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.”

Someone just ran into the pub I was in and shouted "The war on the Soft Left is over!" and everyone started cheering and crying and making toasts to Ed Miliband and a state driven green energy transition. Never seen anything quite like it

Not wrong
Work and Pensions Secretary, Pat McFadden has claimed there would be “no point” in removing Morgan McSweeney “if the Prime Minister stays”.

“In fact, I think if the Prime Minister stays there, I don’t think that would make any difference at all,” he said.
