@MatthewWest2004 Fair enough
I think the idea Labour is getting too London-centric is borne out by some of the local election results too

@CharlieM2024 It’s a massive factor in constituencies in the North East like where I’m from. 2019 proved it with the shattering of the Red Wall by Johnson and it still comes up on doors. It’s what our priorities are and if we can no longer speak to our traditional base then what is our party.

We are gonna see the end of Labour in its heartlands if we continue to push the narrative of the EU being the magic cure for our issues.
English
Given we've had no movement today I assume we're going to end up having a whole week of leadership drama
...and (who would've guessed) conveniently allowing Polanski and Tice and Farage to carry on burying their tax and donations sleaze
English
Whether or not the PM goes I hope that @UKLabour can do a better job of taking the fight to these characters
Evidently the media aren't on our side but that can't be an excuse - a hostile media is priced into a Labour government so we really need to fight with this in mind

Starmer is a bit shit, we know he is...but today ending with Chris Mason, Beth Rigby, Peston, Sophie Ridge & Sam Coates not getting the Prime Ministerial scalp they so desperately wanted all day has cheered me no end

Sky News pol ed attempts to confront minister James Murray with boom mic & is then prevented from interviewing him by own wiring set up.

@PaulCoxComedy Comedy indeed, this is the most absurd shit I've ever read.
English
@Northern_Goblin I don't actually disagree with anything you've said and evidently all of this shows Labour at its worst + most factional
... but at the same time I still don't see how Starmer can go on having reached this point - if he was a Conservative we'd all be calling for him to go by now
English
@CharlieM2024 They can't even agree on who should replace him, they're split between two groups backing a rat and a snake. Listening to their dysfunctional factional power grabs right now would be a major mistake.
Also a fifth, not a quarter. A quarter would be over 100 MPs.
English
Precisely how does Keir Starmer credibly carry on as Prime Minister now 80+ members of the PLP have told him to go
English
@Northern_Goblin So is the plan just to limp on to 2029 having had a quarter of the PLP tell him to resign?
I'm no fan of the SCG but I can't see how he can go on in a situation like this 🤷♂️
English
@CharlieM2024 Remembering there's another 300+ of them, and that he's had the SCG telling him to go since day 1, but they still vote on party lines.
These 80 members of the PLP can't even agree with each other on who should replace him.

You heard it here folks, you can't resign if you're Welsh, sorry
mike hopkins@hoppy1848
@AlexDaviesJones Alex, what you've just done is neither Labour or Welsh. It's really very disappointing.
English
To be a fly on the wall in the cabinet meeting at the moment...
English
This just can't go on when we've got *80+ MPs* and *senior Cabinet members* saying the game is up, it just looks silly now
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
BREAKING Sir Keir Starmer is resisting calls from senior Cabinet ministers to stand down He’s just announced six new PPS appointments to replace those who quit after calling for him to go Loyal ministers say he stands by his position from this morning - he will not walk away This is going to get very, very messy indeed

@ChrisFDSJohnson Funny how we're only just now apparently getting the rearguard from Number 10
Would like to know the logic behind why they decided to wait until after 60+ MPs called for him to resign before doing anything but what do I know
English
@CharlieM2024 It's so over, even if he somehow manages to survive, a government with over 60 MPs openly in revolt will never survive beyond a few weeks
English
Is this it? It feels like we've had so many moments where it feels like it must be all over and then it wasn't but there are actual resignations now
English

One thing I’ve not heard much of in the debate about who should be Prime Minister of our country is the human being at the centre of this, & his family, & the effect of this on them all.
The vitriol is off the scale.
Show some humanity. People we disagree with are not enemies

What an absolute mess. Whether you want Starmer to stay or go, this West business is a shambles. Labour has rules for removing PMs, which she misunderstood or ignored. Even if the PLP want rid, they're surely not going to go along with a random backbencher making up new rules.
