Even with longtime toady Morgan McSweeney gone, the only reason Sir Keir Starmer is still clinging to office, by common consent, especially among Labour MPs (the voters are ahead of them on this), is that there is nobody else up to the job. Clearly, Starmer isn’t, and therefore there’s only one solution: a general election.
How incredible. Only 19 months ago, 404 of these socialist idiots were given power. Most of them weren’t capable of running anything. Lowly trade union officials, clapped-out councillors or the offspring of failed Labour politicians (Stephen Kinnock types).
They scraped in courtesy of the fact that the nation thought they couldn’t be worse than the Tories. They were so wrong.
Starmer was a disaster from Day One. Pocketing £30,000 for suits and designer glasses from Labour peer Lord Ali. Starmer had been a human rights lawyer for decades, had a £2million house, his wife worked, and yet he wouldn’t even pay for his own suits.
A total fraud.
Anyway, it’s over for him. A matter of time. Either goes after the Gorton and Denton by-election when his decision to make Mandelson US Ambassador will turn a 13,000 majority into third place behind the Greens.
Or he goes after the May 6 elections when Labour are wiped out in Wales, Scotland and the English councils which he allowed to vote.
Just look at the runners and riders to be Prime Minister, and you will see the cupboard is bare.
Step forward, Angela Rayner. Only seems like yesterday she was forced out of the Cabinet for failing to pay £40,000 in stamp duty.
Now the Labour left is so desperate, they want her to run a country made up of voters who have never seen £40,000, let alone avoided a tax bill of that size.
Then there’s Wes Streeting. He has two strikes against his name. First of all, he was a Mandelson protégé. Both being gay was probably helpful. He now lets it be known that the recent text between him and Mandelson was not ‘’particularly’’ embarrassing.
Perhaps he’d like to define ‘’particularly’’. Or he could clear that up by publishing the WhatsApp between them. Just as damning is the fact that he gave a huge press conference to announce he had single-handedly reduced the NHS waiting list, whereas the reality was that the Government had paid £3million a month to a company to go through the list and take out patients who had either died, moved away or had actually had the op.

That will do for Streeting. I’ve got more chance than him in a run-off.
Ed Miliband is getting a shout. Why? He’s said to be popular at the party but was given the DCM ( Don’t Come Monday) back in 2015. Does the country want ot be run by another loser? One that has already imposed electricity prices four times higher than the US on us.
With Burnham out of it, we are left with the ragtag and bobtail of Lucy Powell and Defence Secretary John Healey.
So you can see a General Election would be the best answer. And that’s the reason it won’t happen. Labour will take any humiliation as long as they can stay in power.
Back benchers make £93,000 a year plus any media money plus bungs from trade unions and the odd commercial company ( they would have to be odd) for opening their office.
Therefore, the bad news is we are going to spend the next three years watching unemployment grow (terrible for the 16-24s), growth stutter, the state sector expand while private industry contracts.
The only good news is that the Right, in the shape of Reform and the Tories, will continue to dominate the polls, and I guarantee that when election day comes, Reform will emerge as the largest party. Labour will be destroyed.
Strangely, we have plenty to thank Mandelson for.
