Starmer loyalist Steve Reed’s take on the Rickety Coup:
“I saw the Prime Minister yesterday, yeah. He’s fine. He’s focused on getting on with the job. So am I… I mean it’s not an ideal- It’s not a good week that we’ve just had. Let me put that on the table straight away. It reminds me of what went on under the Conservatives, and I think we need to draw that to a close as quickly as possible…”
Reed learned of Josh Simons’ resignation live on a stage with Michael Gove last night and almost swallowed his own teeth. “It’s not a good week”…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
