Miliband, Streeting, Burnham or Rayner. It’s like Real Madrid weighing up whether to go for Alan Pardew, Steve Bruce, John Barnes or Iain Dowie.

@MichaelCGlasper Do people not realise Ed was massively preferred to Burnham before and since then Ed has improved while Burnham has done very little in Manchester, taking credit for anything vaguely happening nearby. Its truly bizarre.

Just read a theory where Ed Miliband would run for leadership of Labour as an interim leader until Burnham wins a seat, and he would then step aside for him and FUCKING HELL.

Just a thought. Wes Streeting owes his political status to the support he’s received over years from Peter Mandelson & Morgan McSweeney at Labour Together. He wouldn’t make a move against Keir Starmer without Mandelson’s say so. So look on this as Mandelson’s & Morgan’s revenge.

THE GREEN PARTY EXPOSED

This is newly elected Green Party councillor Baggy Khan. (on the right) Behind him is his 5.2 litre V10 Lamborghini Huracan, when he won his local seat he celebrated by driving his luxury vehicle. The Green Party claim to be about the environment, whilst they drive gas guzzling cars. Green hypocrisy.

I know I’m hardly the first to say this, and we’ve long known almost all of them are former unionists/charity workers/politicos, but the continued obsession over Andy Burnham as some kind of messiah really is the most damning indictment of the quality of the parliamentary Labour party. Over 400 MPs and not one of them of the requisite calibre to be PM

@s8mb This particular government is different to the Tory disasters. 2 main issues, stupid redlines in the manifesto, hamstrung from the off. Then 400 MPs that mainly came through the extremist party groups in the country and cant be made to make grown up decisions.

The trouble with fixing Britain's shambolic politics is that there are too many plausible explanations for what has happened. I don't think it can just be bad luck. Britain has had five in a row of the most unsuited people in its history as Prime Minister, with a sixth almost certainly on the way. (I would like to be wrong.) Is it institutional sclerosis in the British state binding their hands, and putting off more capable people from the job? Is it bad conditions and pay for MPs creating a shallow talent pool? Is it post-financial crisis scepticism about capitalism and economics, and fading memories of the 20th Century's mistakes? Is it weak economic growth encouraging zero-sum politics? Is the media environment rewarding charlatans? Is it social media making backbenchers harder to control, or party memberships harder to ignore? I genuinely don't know which of these are the strongest hypotheses. How can we even begin to fix the problem when we don't even know what its causes are?

Darren Jones interview just finished on @TimesRadio v significant — strongly indicates it’s the end of days for Keir Starmer’s premiership.

@JamesFl @jamesfr0324990 I guess you know the full list of brilliant policy changes Burnham will bring that do not contradict the manifesto because that will force a GE. We all remember the thousands of clever ideas he had last time he was an MP.....

I'll say this tonight: it just cannot be Streeting. We cannot seriously look the public in the eye and say we *had* to change the Prime Minister for a mildly slicker version of that Prime Minister who's better at interviews and who hasn't pissed them off yet. It's so unserious.

Whoever replaces Starmer will fail. Just as the Conservatives failed. You can’t build a country on low growth, low productivity, high tax, high welfare, high inflation and heavy regulations. It’s basic math - you materially make the lives of the majority worse. Reform, Greens, whoever else wants the gig - you will face the same. Until someone defeats the managerial state, nothing will improve and we’ll have more PMs than Tottenham has managers.

Many Labour MPs see Andy Burnham as the prince across the water who can beat Farage. But don't underestimate those who really aren't fans, including this Cabinet Minister, who tells me: "People forget just how useless Andy Burnham was in Westminster. He ran two dire leadership campaigns. He was the last one to leave Corbyn’s shadow cabinet only when he saw the writing on the wall. He then went up to Manchester and now wants to come trotting back with the leadership gift-wrapped for him."

Andy Burnham, with as much charisma as a slice of Ryvita becomes Labour leader, leads the party into a Corbyn style election defeat in 3 years time, and a 20 yr wander through the political wilderness. That's what a radical Labour left wing is promoting, backed by sly right media

Wes Streeting now has a huge incentive to pile his supporters behind Catherine West’s challenge. If she gets to the 81 MPs to trigger a contest who will be his primary opponent for the leadership? Rayner (still awaiting the HMRC all clear)? Miliband (who we are endlessly told favours the chancellorship over PM)? Another soft Left figure in a less prominent Cabinet position? Burnham is out of the game until he’s back in the Commons. Streeting seemingly has most to gain from a speedy contest. If Streeting really does have the numbers (as reports / his allies have suggested in recent weeks) then it could well be done, whatever attempts by the Left to now desperately pour cold water over the West challenge. That feels the most critical dynamic in the next 48hrs: Will Streeting go all out behind the scenes to get his backers putting their name to the West coup? It’s in the balance.

@Steven_Swinford I dont get how you follow politics and also consider Streeting and Rayner as the ONLY contenders worth talking about, neither has a chance of being PM. Mahmood and Phillipson are genuine prospects, but many others are better than AR and WS, they wont bring the public with them.

After another febrile 24 hours has much changed? Everything remains delicately poised and very much in the balance * It doesn't sound like anyone other than Catherine West is going over the top, for now at least. Burnham has a vested interest in delay. Streeting is not planning to move at present. Rayner weighing up options but there are concerns she doesn't have enough support for a formal bid * But crucially the numbers are slowly ticking up - we have 41 MPs calling for Starmer to go in one form or another, but most are demanding an 'orderly transition' - very few want him to go immediately * The problem with demanding an orderly transition is that the prime minister can very simply - as he has done - say no. Unless the numbers become overwhelming he can just ignore the calls * There is a concerted effort by those on the left who favour Andy Burnham to shut down West's stalking horse bid. It sounds like she's going to wait until after Starmer's speech before moving regardless * Starmer's speech tomorrow is still being drafted. There will be some policy but it will be well within manifesto red lines on Europe, migration etc. It doesn't sounds like he's ripping things up - more vision. The stakes are high. Will he meet the moment? * Moderate Labour MPs are considering moving tomorrow if the speech is not enough. After Josh Simons today that would have the potential to swing the balance

@davidyelland @matthewsyed So true. The media frenzy around the PM has become like being England football manager. It’s now one bad result and you’re out. It is undermining our democratic process. We can’t have a BBC political reporter constantly whipping up a PM out narrative.

I agree with @matthewsyed in sense that the circular firing squad of digital age political media is now making the job of PM, whoever has it, almost impossible. Leaders in business do not face the same, it is hell we reserve for our political class. Something fundamental has changed here, which we need to address and discuss.

“The country is becoming ungovernable...” The Times's Matthew Syed says constant leadership speculation is making it harder for Prime Ministers to make tough choices. #Newsnight

@davidyelland @matthewsyed In the end it is just scrutiny and Starmer has not withstood it. Ridiculous red lines he took from the GE, unable to herd his MPs to support him on any tough measures and an unmistakable reverse midas touch. Any policy he proposes will be "from him" and therefore lacking cred.

Keir Starmer suggests he’s in office for 10 years Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to lead Labour at the next general election as he faces the possibility of a leadership challenge after the party’s disastrous local election results. Asked if he would lead at the next election and serve a full term, he told the Sunday Mirror: “Yes I will, and I’ve always said it’s a decade of national renewal, where the legacy we inherited was an appalling legacy on all fronts, not just the economy, which was broken.” The Prime Minister said his fightback, which starts with a speech on Monday and the King’s Speech on Wednesday, would include a “full throated” pitch to be closer to Europe. He told the newspaper that his plan would be “really clear that this is about the hope and opportunity of a better future, part of which is a stronger economy and an economy that really works for everyone, wherever they live, whatever they do. There are a number of strands to that, but one is, we have to be closer to Europe, and I just want to be full throated about this”. He added: “I feel that Brexit has held back our young people. They should be free to work, study, travel in European countries, just as I was able to when I was growing up. “That has been smashed away from young people because of Brexit. I’m not going to let Brexit stand in the way of their opportunities, and therefore we’ll push forward on that.”
