Is Sir Keir Starmer right to fight on? This morning, Wes Streeting confronted him over the turmoil in the party. Four ministers have resigned, and 90 MPs are calling for him to go, but Starmer still has the support of 140 MPs. Should the PM keep calm and carry on?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Labour will never privatise the NHS. We’ll work with the private sector to cut NHS waiting lists while we build the staff, the equipment and the technology the NHS needs to treat patients on time.

Now is the time for the Prime Minister to accept that he can’t lead us into the next election. He needs to set out a timetable for his departure, so we can take a different political direction and deliver the change people voted for in 2024. This is not a situation any Labour MP wanted to be in, but burying our heads in the sand would hand the keys to No. 10 to Nigel Farage. That would be unforgivable.

As I’ve said, Keir Starmer needs to go. But not through a Cabinet stitch-up or palace coup. And not through a snap leadership election designed to hand Wes Streeting a coronation. We need a proper democratic contest involving the whole Labour movement so we get this right.

This is the choice. A highly regarded and admired former Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service, fully vetted by the Security Service or a lying, corrupt, chancer with no political experience who sold Britain out and is probably a Russian asset

I have nothing but respect for Sir Keir Starmer. He transformed our party and led us to an election victory. But sadly it is clear now that to deliver on our promise of change and to secure Britain’s future, we must look to a new leader.

@UKLabour When g osborne cut spending and increased the vat at the same time It had a very negative effect This kind of taxation is very damaging When to high and leads to much less in tax revenues Staged cuts but a 2.5 cut to hospitality straight away

@UKLabour I am calling for a staged cutting of vat on everything especially hospitality 15 % the goal It is shown that such cuts drive an economy and deliver more revenue to the government by the positive effects it has let's make it happen and soon

It’s important that we reflect and respond to these results - we haven’t done enough to offer people hope for the future. In the coming days I’ll be setting out the path ahead.

We have delivered good, Labour things – action on child poverty, strengthening workers’ rights, protections for renters. But we can’t and we shouldn’t pretend the status quo is working. To stop Reform, we have to be bolder and we have to deliver change faster.

Angela Rayner@AngelaRayner·
We need immediate action to cut costs for households and put money back into the everyday economy. This can be done within the current fiscal rules, by ensuring those who benefit from the crisis contribute more so that everyone can thrive. Our Employment Rights Act was just the first step in our plan to Make Work Pay. Now is the time to take the next steps, starting with a Fair Pay Agreement in social care - but not ending there. A rising minimum wage must go alongside our programme to get young people into work. The investment we secured in social and affordable housing should now unleash a building boom that benefits British business and workers. We must double down on renters’ reform and show leaseholders our action on tackling ground rents and charges was just a first step to ending the feudal leasehold system for good. Our devolution revolution has begun, but is nowhere near done. Giving mayors powers to transform planning and licensing can boost local business and good growth, in the interests of local people. They must go alongside economic powers and public services. Boosting community ownership and stopping the sell-off of local assets from pubs to playgrounds will put power back in local hands, helping restore the pride they feel in the places they live. We must go further on planning reforms, to build the schools, hospitals, roads and infrastructure the country needs to grow. We should be unafraid to promote new forms of public, community and cooperative ownership across the board. Buses and trains being brought back into public hands can now operate for the public good, at prices passengers can afford. Thames Water is an iconic failure of privatisation, which resonates for the same reasons. People are rightly sick of bonuses for bosses who deliver nothing but higher bills. We must face down demands that the public pay the price of private failure. We must create good jobs that pay decent wages by ensuring defence investment includes a secure manufacturing base. Use our house building programme to boost construction, invest in the green economy, backing SMEs by reforming business rates and increasing support to revive our high streets and local economies, raise the minimum wage and get young people into work. And then there is politics itself, putting power back into people’s hands so that they are shaping the decisions that impact them. We must tackle the inflow of dodgy money in our politics - something that Nigel Farage, who took 5 million pounds in a secret personal gift from an offshore crypto baron, will never do. We must make politics work for ordinary people. We can only prove we mean it by putting the common interest ahead of factionalism. This is bigger than personalities, but it is time to acknowledge that blocking Andy Burnham was a mistake. We must show we understand the scale of change the moment calls for - that means bringing our best players into Parliament - and embracing the type of agenda that has been successful at a local level, rather than reaching back to an agenda and politics that has failed people. These are the fights we need to have, and the change in direction we need to see. Policy tweaks will not fix the fundamental challenges facing our country. This government needs, at pace, to put measures in place that make people's lives tangibly better, while fixing the foundations of a system rigged against them. The Prime Minister must now meet the moment and set out the change our country needs. Change our economic agenda to prioritise making people better off, change how we run our party so that all voices are listened to, and change how we do politics. Labour exists to make working people better off. That is not happening fast enough, and it needs to change — now. 2/2

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2
