| Wes Streeting leaves Downing Street less than 20 minutes after meeting on 09:09 - May 13 with 379 views | GlasgowBlue | I would imagine Streeting’s pitch to Starmer is that he’s a dead man walking and it’s better to go now, giving Streeting (somebody who is more politically aligned with Starmer) a decent chance of taking over, rather than hanging on until Burnham (somebody less aligned to Starmer) gets a seat and challenges him. |  |

If that was the case then I suspect that they would have spent more than nineteen minutes discussing the terms if Starmer was amenable to the idea. Heck, we need a better Health Secretary anyway. |  |

| 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 |

I cannot support someone who is so close to Palantir (who have very right wing US owners, close to Trump). |  |

I imagine it was even briefer than that. "So, are you going to mount a formal challenge, yes or no? No? Goodbye." |  |
