PPSs are calling for Starmer to go now. Track it here:
As Labour Wars today noted there are expectations among Downing Street sources that Starmer could be convinced to resign/set out a timetable for his exit if Wes goes over the top or the Cabinet speaks with enough co-ordination. Wes allies are going over the top tonight…
Starmer loyalist and Housing Secretary Steve Reed told Sky News that Starmer should not be replaced:
“We saw what the Tories did. They were in power for 14 years, and after 2016, I think we had nine education secretaries, seven chancellors, and five Prime Ministers. Doomscrolling through Prime Ministers doesn’t resolve the problem.”
