There aren't any big hitters from the cabinet getting on the airwaves or social media giving Starmer support. He's on his own. |  |

| Anas Sawar, Labour leader in Scotland on 14:13 - Feb 9 with 2684 views | BloomBlue | Nobody is going to want to be Starmer's replacement before the May local elections as that will be a bloodbath for Labour. Once they fail in those, they will kick him out. |  | |  |

I can see Ed Miliband coming in as caretaker until a permanent replacement can be found. They won't be blamed for the May bloodbath. |  |

| Anas Sawar, Labour leader in Scotland on 14:21 - Feb 9 with 2637 views | Wright1 | I truly hope not. In a world where Trump is President of the US and Farage is celebrated in our media as the next obvious PM - I can't see that what has transpired equates to Starmer having to step down. Labour aren't exactly what I want them to be (and in the right political conditions I would like the opportunity to vote for a party that aligns with my beliefs more so they currently do at the next election)... but I do think they are doing some good stuff, it is just buried in right wing media and things like this. |  | |  |

| Anas Sawar, Labour leader in Scotland on 14:40 - Feb 9 with 2516 views | Devereuxxx | Political parties never cease to amaze. Internal psycho-drama was a huge reason the Tories were booted and now Labour is doing the same. Realistically, whoever replaces him would be in for a thankless task until the next election. Such is politics as it is at the moment. The medias covets controversy and ignores anything else. When was the last time you read a news article about a well performing policy or piece of legislation? Just doesn't happen, creating a perpetual cycle of 'the government is doing badly'. This really shouldn't be fatal. |  | |  |

If this current incarnation of Labour has demonstrated anything since winning the last election, it's that they are terrible at politics. |  | |  |

| Anas Sawar, Labour leader in Scotland on 14:54 - Feb 9 with 2455 views | positivity | gb, a couple of weeks ago, you were asking why it'd be a good idea to get burnham back in as an mp "Look we have a competent and decent Prime Minister in Starmer who is running the country n very difficult circumstances, both at home and abroad. Labour have a massive majority and another 3 years in power. Why are people within the Labour party waning to put all that at risk?" this is exactly why it'd be great to have another potential leader in place! |  |

Well intentioned, but terrified of making an unpopular decision and some of the worst political instincts we've seen. It's also why i'm bemused Starmer seems so reluctant to let McSweeney go. Does he think it's going well and this could rock the boat? |  | |  |

I wonder if Clive Lewis' offer of stepping down for Burnham is still live? |  |

can't see burnham moving down to that place, it's too much of a sacrifice to ask of him! |  |

If Labour can't find a suitable candidate from 25 Cabinet members and another 370+ backbenchers then they are in even worse trouble than people realise. [Post edited 9 Feb 14:59]

most of them (fairly or unfairly) will be tarred with the mcsweeney fall-out, burnham would be better placed than most to avoid that. would've given another, very strong option... |  |

….to right wing media articles on here is outrageous to be honest. Barely an hour goes by without yet another link to the dreaded right wing media, it’s rife!! If only we had the occasional link to the left wing media to balance out the obvious bias. It’s just not balanced. Blub. |  |

And ElderGrizzly is quite obviously a fascist, white supremacist supporter for linking so many posts from twitter on here. |  |

Well intentioned seems a stretch. They seemed to me to be desperate to win at all costs, with almost no thought on what to do once they did. |  | |  |
