As Black Rod knocked on the door, someone in the Commons shouted 'not now, Andy'

You compare British broadcast journalism and American broadcast journalism and it’s night and day. American politicians would die if they had to face Channel 4 News interviews

Theresa May - 3 years Boris Johnson - 3 years, 2 months Liz Truss - 7 weeks Rishi Sunak - 1 year, 9 months Keir Starmer currently 1 year, 10 months If he goes today, it’s averaging a PM every two years. Are we the new Italy?

🚨 NEW: Buckingham Palace has privately asked No 10 whether the King's Speech should go ahead tomorrow One source: "The Palace view is ‘we do not want to be any part of this conversation - do not bring us into it'..." [@POLITICOEurope]


BREAKING: An ally of Wes Streeting - who came out publicly to call for Starmer to go - says Streeting has “blown it.” They say he has lost support today from MPs who might have backed him and that they now don’t think he has the numbers to get on the ballot.

We don’t elect prime ministers, we elect MPs who support a government. This idea that the PM won a personal mandate in July 2024 is nonsensical. He has no personal mandate from the electorate, unless you mean the electorate of Holborn and St Pancras.

We have an extra pod out and @HarrietHarman tells me and @RuthDavidsonPC that Starmer should put Burnham in the cabinet to create a 'team of all the talents' news.sky.com/story/starmer-…
