Keir Starmer - and his miserable government

https://x.com/i/status/2020615251121840587

Anas Sarwar calls for Starmer to resign, obviously for political reasons pertaining to Scotland. The call has forced Reeves & Lammy to come out and back Starmer. Wales FM Eluned Morgan is keeping quiet not coming out for or against

Rayner gives her "full support" in a post on Twitter

if its anyone it will be wes streeting who will be stabbing kier in the back he is a slimy toad

always said he has wanted the job

^ Isn't he also tarnish by the Mendelson appointment.

You have to ask who amongst that lot are better leaders. And you are really struggling.

Streeting, Miliband and Mahmood all back Starmer, that's all the big beasts and potential rivals at cabinet level + Rayner pledging their support, that should stabilise his position for now.

Kind of leaves Sarwar standing in the rain. From a Scottish point of view, it is very depressing that we can't get rid of the shitshow of a government up here because of the shitshow of a government down there

The Wheel of Enshitification makes another turn

What does the 'Wheel of Enshitification' look like?

Starmer to meet the PLP & address at 6pm. does the length of the meeting determine Starmer's position?

longer the better i think means listening and actually planning a way out

They don't have a clear successor & to be honest if you are eyeing the throne would you not want Starmer in place for the May elections so you don't have that shitshow on your plate and allow you to come in afterwards & start a new with a clean slate ?

Not really. It means he's free to campaign on Scottish issues, without having to defend the Starmer shitshow at every turn.
