| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:43 - Feb 4 with 5105 views | Chris_ITFC | Came here to say the same. PMQs was an absolute bloodbath. Questions of judgement and association with such serious criminals / criminality hits far, far harder than issues such as budgets, benefits or U-turns. |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:43 - Feb 4 with 5094 views | Pinewoodblue | He hasn’t done himself any favours in PMQs. Hesitant, stopping mid sentence he seems unable to offer any defence, more like deadman limping off into the twilight. Guess he needs a scapegoat but lacks the courage to name names. |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:43 - Feb 4 with 5080 views | lowhouseblue | this feels like a scandal with a life of its own and who knows where it ends up. it's far from impossible that it finishes starmer. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:50 - Feb 4 with 4983 views | SuperKieranMcKenna | He pushes for law abiding citizens to have compulsory Digital ID in a state overreach, yet ignores vetting of people in his own party (in a position of power no less). The hypocrisy stinks. |  | |  |

A few politcal commentators have said it's the biggest political scandal of their lifetime. |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:51 - Feb 4 with 4949 views | vapour_trail | There seemed a noticeable lack of support for him from his colleagues today. Takes a lot to bring down a PM - just look what Johnson rode out - but he could be in some trouble here. |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 12:52 - Feb 4 with 4934 views | DanTheMan | For someone you'd assume is a fairly intelligent guy overall, this is stunningly stupid. All this for a US ambassador appointment? Insanity. And they've essentially benched the one person in the party who could connect with people as well. I guess Streeting would be next up who doesn't inspire confidence. [Post edited 4 Feb 12:54]

The sullen faces on the backbenches was saying everything you needed to hear. He's toast. |  |

Starmer's judgement is proving to be pretty consistently bad. Thats a real problem if you want to be a successful prime minister. |  |

That's my view too as I was a bit too young when the Profumo scandal broke. [Post edited 4 Feb 12:55]

Yeah it takes a lot to start to unravel them, but when that happens they can collapse really quickly. Someone need to start the lettuce timer lol |  |

The scandal should really do for Streeting too - he's very much part of Mandelson's patronage network. |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 13:04 - Feb 4 with 4719 views | ElderGrizzly | As long as the same judgement is applied to Farage with his proven links to Epstein and Bannon, all is good. We wouldn’t want two-tier justice |  | |  |

Why would it? The Tories have proven you can change a PM every few months and just carry on. Fixed term parliaments are a good thing for policy delivery |  | |  |

Starmer’s judgement of those advising him appears horrific. I think his personal ‘morals’ vs political advice is the issue. |  | |  |

| Starmer is a dead man walking on 13:11 - Feb 4 with 4543 views | ElderGrizzly | This was the full quote at PMQs. Not quite what Pippa is saying “ To learn that there was a cabinet minister leaking sensitive information at the height of the response to the 2008 crash is beyond infuriating, and I am as angry as the public and any member of this House – Mandelson betrayed our country, our parliament and my party. He lied repeatedly to my team when asked about his relationship with Epstein before and during his tenure as ambassador. I regret appointing him. If I knew then what I know now, he would never have been anywhere near government.” |  | |  |

If it goes to the members it will be someone like Milliband; a bit like when the Tories kept picking the wrong PM because the members don't get the country |  |
