Exclusive from @patrickkmaguire Labour MPs are discussing plans to demand Sir Keir Starmer set a date for his resignation in a letter inspired by the putsch by Gordon Brown’s allies against Tony Blair in 2006 A group of disgruntled backbenchers first elected in 2024 are canvassing support for a challenge to the prime minister after Labour’s expected drubbing in local elections on Thursday They intend to send an open letter to Starmer — whose allies insist he will fend off any coup — in which they will blame him for the party’s losses and request he sets out a timetable for his resignation in the wake of expected losses to Reform UK and the Green Party. The Times understands that several cabinet ministers are aware of the plot, which is reminiscent of the round-robin missive that set in train Blair’s departure 20 years ago this September. It comes amid what one minister described as “real anger in the PLP [parliamentary Labour Party]” at Starmer’s leadership One MP in favour of the challenge said: “We will be angry and not resigned to getting absolutely f***ed.” Of Starmer, the MP added: “People underestimate out ability to recover when he goes, but we need to do it calmly and properly.” The 2024 intake is itself divided on the wisdom of a move against Starmer, however, with many MPs fearful of a backlash from voters. One influential backbencher elected for the first time two years ago said the number of signatories was likely to be limited thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…



This is NOT a Tony Blair scheme! Don’t be misled into thinking he had this “brilliant” pensions idea! He didn’t! a Lifestyle fund concept is coming from the UN. The UN and the International Labour Organisation have been pushing “life-cycle social protection” to replace pensions for years, spreading support across your whole life, not just retirement. It sits under Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 1.3) “social protection systems for all.” And yes, we signed up to this in the 2015 Agenda 2030. Instead of a guaranteed pension at the end, You would get a pot to manage across your life. Where you dip into it if you lose your job, use it to retrain or spend it during hard times And whatever’s left… funds your old age Countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Chile and Japan are already moving in this direction. 193 countries signed up to agenda 2030. Watch as they all follow! They just don’t really want you to know. Pay attention!
