Obviously it is a merit of mcsweeney and others to have achieved an election victory. The issue is that the victory was built in sand because he's a fucking idiot who thinks lying to the public or to myself is a viable strategy

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.

In a press conference, Anas Sarwar called for PM Keir Starmer to resign: "The distraction needs to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change."

I think there's more of a chance of Sarwar going this week than Starmer, now.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar: "The distraction has to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change."
Some MPs and ministers absolutely fuming at this. "Does Anas seriously believe that this intervention is going to make him FM?" Another calls it "soulless careerism."

I should-l examine how much my feelings have hardened and honestly I feel like a bitter ex. I spent dozens of hours campaigning for Labour in 2024. I donated to the party. I was walking on air after the exit poll. And I feel like I’ve been very personally told that this government dislikes me.
It'd be better suited to something long form but I should figure out why I kept faith in Keir Starmer as long as I did. Not a dead-ender, I've thought he has to go since the racist protests last year, but what was the flaw in my thinking that led me to not spot the failings coming down the track?

Indeed! People keep talking about 'oh, the soft left this', 'oh, his rivals in Downing Street that'. No, it's not the soft left on the backbenches or the Blairites in the Cabinet or No 10. It's the 'alliance of MPs who can count and would like to remain MPs'.
In danger of repeating myself, but the tone mismatch between the way they talk about MMcS and then the facts of Labour polling around 19% average (and Starmer at -50) is very disorienting.

Oh wow. Politicians are really stupid.
It’s the same as Johnson, isn’t it: if the secret ingredients of your success are “lying like fuck to the public” and “relying upon the unlimited indulgence of the press to repeat your lies and horseshit”, and it all explodes if the second part is removed: to what extent are you good at politics?

Are Labour still too embarrassed to publish membership numbers?
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.
