We need our best players on the pitch. There is no doubt that Andy Burnham is one of them. The Makerfield by-election will be tough. Votes will need to be earned. Andy is the best chance of winning and that should override factional advantage or propping up one person.
Plot Twist: Wes Streeting stands down as MP to allow Andy Burnham to run.
Confirmed: 26 hereditary peers will return to the Lords as lifers.

PM’s statement to cabinet. Nutshell: he will not set out timetable for departure. And he is, in effect, baiting Wes Streeting to challenge him The Prime Minister told a meeting of the Cabinet: “As I said yesterday, I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised. “The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families. “The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered. “The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet.”
BREAKING Ministerial aides are now calling for Keir Starmer to go As per @PronouncedAlva Joe Morris, Wes Streeting's PPS, is resigning Sally Jameson, PPS to Shabana Mahmood, has also gone over the top Tom Rutland, PPS to Emma Reynolds, has called for Starmer to go It feels like things are moving very quickly this evening
you can basically disregard any commentator who doesn’t understand the below
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he will not resign despite the "really tough" local election results "It hurts, and it should hurt, and I take responsibility. Tough days like this don’t weaken my resolve to deliver the change that I promised. They strengthen my resolve"
Just spoken to the PM on behalf of the broadcast pool this morning - on @skynews soon. Before the broadcast pool interview, he spoke to activists and told them the results overnight "hurt" and are "very tough", but insisted he takes responsibility for the party's losses. "Tough days like this don't weaken my resolve to deliver the change that I promised"
