Who might replace Starmer? As predicted at the start of the summer, the idea that the Prime Minister might not make it through another year is gaining traction.

New post just out:

"Who might replace Starmer?"

With pressure growing on the PM, there are a lot of conversations going on in Westminster about who could take over.

Who are the contenders? Who's best placed to win? Would it make any difference?

He’s making a piss poor job of it imo

Surprised that @vicderbyshire.bsky.social doesn’t understand the economic multiplier here. Every £1 of investment in public services & social security improves lives & better balances the economy
Come on @zackpolanski.bsky.social you know that tax doesn’t pay for anything, government created £ do

We are in a recession, by the way. A bad one. Prices are way up. People can't find jobs.

I am plugged into this in a very real way. The stock market is just not important unless you are in the top 10%/1%.

I have not seen a labor market this bad since 2008. The 2nd Great Depression is coming.

Epstein was close to Peter Thiel. Thiel had secret meetings with Cummings and Johnson before Palantir’s 100m contract

Mandelson’s Global Counsel was pitching Thiel’s Palantir to Starmer.

What a carousel of cronyism

Astonishingly, I've discovered, the Tufton Street junktanks that shaped Liz Truss's agenda are still operating at the heart of government. Remind me what we voted for again ...

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous.

The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

Spoke to CNN about our national flags & why ethnic minorities can certainly identify with them too
