Feel like I'll be in the air in 3 days time, setting out with Kier Starmer as PM and landing with a brand new Prime Minister 13 hours later.

This is assuming of course, he lasts for the remainder of the week.

I don't expect Starmer to resign to be honest despite the posturing from the right, and I certainly don't expect Wes fucking Streeting to be an improvement if he somehow scams his way into Number 10 (which I also don't expect).

Personally hope Starmer isn't pushed out. Not because I'm a huge fan, but a change in leadership now is going to lead to calls from the opposition for a General Election which we are simply not ready for.

Yeah, I'm very much of the opinion that a leadership contest is just navel gazing really.

Andy Burnham's got himself a seat to run, in which case I can see him potentially winning. Streeting is one big joke though lol, that guy's such an opportunistic shmuck.
