:: He “deeply respects all his followers and their good judgement”.
:: He’s semi-regularly getting 4-5 laugh reacts in the groupchat.
:: Just some of the best banter you’ve seen in a while really.

funny that it’s clear everyone else had decided to wait and wes is like “no I’ve got more!!”
BREAKING: Wes Streeting publishes his private WhatsApp messages with Peter Mandelson in apparent attempt to draw a line under their friendship. They reveal:

:: He feared being “toast at the next election” in his Ilford North seat, adding: “There isn’t a clear answer to the question: why Labour?”.

given how bad a position it is, i am kind of fascinated by how people would play it: you’re starmer. everybody thinks you’re toast and either hates or pities you. you love a list. what’s your top 3 actions? (don’t just say “resign”, will take that as read)

our position is that he’s doing a bloody great job delivering on the priorities of the british people right and will be doing so for three more months until regrettably the people have expressed their anger at his serious failures of leadership

quite funny that the entire Labour party has been spending months saying "let's wait for our Welsh and Scottish colleagues to be massacred before doing anything hasty" without really thinking through if anyone outside of England could hear them

The flaw in the McSweeney/Starmer project can be summed up with "the people whose pitch to the electorate was they were serious also had no interest in policy", and when stated that bluntly it seems extraordinary it got this far
One of many things that Starmer and McSweeney have in common is neither is particularly interested in policy, and I think the lack of 'I need goodwill in order to deliver change' and the 'our planning for government goes to another school' all come from that.
What went wrong? Managing to lose goodwill and aggravate your own MPs, party members and voters is certainly an achievement of sorts

That goodwill is what you need to deliver the level of change promised seems to have been lost on McSweeney

it’s so over
Tim Allan, Keir Starmer’s director of communications, has just quit his Downing Street role:

“I have decided to stand down to allow a new No 10 team to be built. I wish the PM and his team every success."

reckon you can legitimately argue the toss on the extent to which you are a strategic genius if you oversee a landslide on ~33% of vote but do so by massively constraining your options in government.

impossible to argue the case for the job he’s done post-GE where PM is now historically unpopular

do we have any sense if we are talking weeks or months for the Rayner tax thing to be sorted
February 8, 2026 at 9:21 PM
decent free kick that
February 8, 2026 at 6:03 PM
as long as he starts exhibiting qualities and demonstrates a skillset and level of analysis so far completely absent from the evidence of his career so far, i reckon Starmer can survive this
February 8, 2026 at 4:59 PM
if Starmer now stays, he does not have the “sack mcsweeney” lever to pull if the by-election or the may elections go as badly as expected (whether he’d ever have used it or not)
February 8, 2026 at 3:41 PM
can mcsweeney allies decide if he’s the Real Prime Minister or whether he was just advising
Labour source: "It seems bizarre Morgan has gone just for giving advice. There are plenty of other people still around Keir who have hidden behind Morgan and tried to pretend they weren’t pushing for this appointment. They will no longer be able to."

In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.
February 8, 2026 at 2:46 PM
does pat mcfadden still think this? can someone give him a call?
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.

while we are all making our jokes we should all also remember this is a deeply personal career tragedy for mr mcsweeney because that makes the jokes more funny

Right that the prime minister has resigned. His successor, Keir Starmer, has a very difficult inheritance.
