Title: Starmer will fight attempts to replace him, allies say
Post by: Nearly Sane on November 12, 2025, 08:55:42 AM

I think it's naive to think that the base issue is Starmer.

I'm waiting to see what happens after 'Your Party' is formally launched in a week or two, and starts fielding candidates in elections.

It will be fun watching the ferrets in a sack.

True.

I've decided that we are, as a nation, incapable of doing good politics anymore, regardless of party.

If they are taking this line, he is in big trouble.

Odds on Starmer being PM at the time of the next election 2/1 on against.

To be fair the odds of Badenich being Tory leader at the time of the next election is 7/1 on against.

I know that a few of you are neophytes when it comes to betting, the easiest way of thinking of this is that the current likelihood of Starmer being PM at the election in the bookies is 1 in 3, and for Badenoch being leader of the Tories 1 in 8.

John McTernan, a Labour loyalist, damning on Channel 4 this evening. Will pop up a link when they do.

Apparently the Spectator is calling this the omnishambles govt. First of all plagiarism, and second they aren't that impressive they are more shiteyshambles.
