Much plotting in the LP, from supporting KS long enough to get Burnham back (Patrick Maguire https://archive.ph/IJh1h ) or this " Andy Or Bust" OR just struggling-on from the G ( https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... ve-starmer )
This time there won’t be a national Labour swing to help them and they are taking a huge risk by trying to get rid of a democratically elected PM. Politics is about weathering the good and the bad. Deposing a PM at a time of national crisis is bluntly lunatic behaviour.”
Referring to the flaws in various potential rivals, they added: “There’s no point crying about Andy Burnham – he’s literally not eligible. Wes [Streeting] is compromised. Angela [Rayner] has HMRC issues. Ed [Miliband] lost us 2015. Everyone hates Shabana [Mahmood]. Who is going to stand?”
Several others said that they expected Starmer to reject any demands from his critics after next month’s elections.
“He is prepared to do anything to stay in post,” one minister said. “Sack Wes, sack Ed, whatever it takes. This is not a man who people can come to with a list of demands and expect him to just acquiesce. What power do they actually have?”

EDIT -- on second thoughts this might be scare-mongering, if they really want to be closer to Europe ...

Re: Friday 24th April 2026
Apologies for the QT no show last night but I had stuff going on and I'm pleased to say I've finally moved to the new flat. So that's finally done and over with and I can stop stressing and going on about it.
I had to sign up with British Gas to take over the account here (I'll be switching ASAP). For the last fortnight I've not been able to sign into the account and the reason became clear when I received a welcome pack from them today in the post. I share a first name with a Bond actor. When I was signing up over the phone the bloke asked me how to spell my first name, so I said like the actor. Today when the letter arrived I looked at it and burst out laughing, despite me providing all my details including my surname as you would expect, it was addressed to the actor, not me.
I wish I could post a picture of it here but obviously it would involve sharing too much information online, but my friends and Dad have had a good laugh at it. I might get it framed.
I'm going to give it a few days then ring them up and ask how the in the hell they managed to do it, which should provide a few chuckles.
