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.

well, starmer hadn't boiled the kettle properly and the coffee was luke warm so it was quick to drink. nothing to see here.

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 am a Labour party member. If Streeting becomes PM I will no longer be. 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."

Good Lord! Whatever is it?
