Whatever one thinks of Starmer, a prime minister being forced to resign simply for being unpopular, rather than as a result of any scandal or specific or policy disaster, breaks new ground. But this is where we are now.

Keir Starmer. What has he done that merits this coup? Appoint Mandelson? Bad local election results? Stand up to Musk? Please. Do me a favour. The media had it in for him probably due to the phone hacking scandal. RW fuckwits jumped on the Musk choo choo. We vote, not them.

I genuinely cannot believe we're in this position. Keir Starmer won a huge mandate from the British people. He transformed the Labour Party from one that had suffered its worst defeat in generations into a party capable of winning power and changing the country. And yet, just two years into government, we're talking about leadership speculation instead of the job we were elected to do. I'm not pretending everything is perfect. Government is hard. The challenges facing Britain are immense. There are difficult choices to make and there are no easy answers. If solving these problems was simply a matter of better communications or finding a catchy slogan, someone would have done it already. What frustrates me is the idea that replacing one leader magically makes those challenges disappear. It won't. Whoever leads Labour will face the same economic realities, the same fiscal constraints, the same online discourse and the same difficult decisions. Some seem determined to oversimplify those realities in pursuit of their own ambitions. I think that's a mistake. This Government has real achievements to be proud of. Growth is returning. NHS waiting lists are falling. Interest rates are coming down. Small boat crossings are down. There is still a huge amount of work to do, but progress is being made. The public don't want a Labour Party consumed by itself. They want a Labour Government focused on them. Right now, our energy should be on delivering for the country, winning elections and building on the progress we've made…not tearing ourselves apart. Because if we don't learn that lesson now, what happens when the next leader faces the same difficult decisions in a year or two's time?

I am no fan of Andy Burnham and I’m aware Keir Starmer has his doubters. But he’s done more in two years, than the Tories did in their 14. And it’s not even close. Whatever happens with Keir, he can hold his head up high.

Labour are about to make a monumental mistake. They have history - Brown coronation, Ed Miliband election (wrong brother), Corbyn madness. But in the context of a big 2024 GE majority, removing a sitting PM would be a crowning disaster.

We are not a serious country. We have a man, on the back of winning a byelection, thinks he can walk into No 10. We have a Tory on BBC telling us those who broke the UK can now fix it, without shame or irony. We have a media now ‘shocked’ that their pile on of a PM has worked FFS

One observation from this Burnham debacle is how utterly useless our political journalists are. What a sad miserable profession it has become.

My sense is that, unpopular though Starmer undoubtedly is, much of the electorate are not happy with the prospect of a Prime Minister being overthrown by a combination of a media frenzy, desperate Labour MPs, and the personal ambition of Andy Burnham.

UEFA officially confirms they will NOT adopt FIFA’s World Cup-style mandatory hydration breaks. ❌⚽️ Unlike FIFA's forced 3-minute pauses regardless of weather, UEFA will stick to its strict 32°C heat policy. An official UEFA spokesperson stated: "Our priority is player health, but forcing structured breaks in mild conditions disrupts the sporting integrity and natural flow of the game." A massive win for football traditionalists against mid-game ad breaks. 🇪🇺🔥

Met with friends and they said “What’s Starmer done wrong”? “Well he’s incorruptible so that’s why they want him out” That’s it., Starmer could not be corrupted so they were told to get him out. Very dangerous waters Stand by Starmer @LBC @SkyNews

No ambiguity from me. I want Starmer to remain in post. If needed I want Starmer to stand. No coronation. I want to know who 350,000 Members want to lead them. I want process followed. I vote Starmer. I want my voice heard. I am a Member. Cut/paste/repost if agree

Me too… don’t allow it to happen @Keir_Starmer I know a contest would take an even greater personal toll but I voted for Labour under your leadership and an untested Coronation will fail this Country.. I want to know what Andy Burnham means by “ better” because so far it lacks a great deal of substance.

If Andy Burnham had the integrity and principles worthy of being PM he would insist on a leadership contest. He would tell supporters to stop bullying Sir Keir Starmer and announce his intention to stand. To fail to do so smacks of cowardice. For me he has failed the first test.

I’m a bit out of the loop with the news. What exactly has Starmer done that he has to resign? It can’t just be because some people don’t like him because that’s true of every prime minister ever.

Andy Burnham should sit quietly on the back benches for the rest of this Parliament, watch Keir Starmer being a REAL PM, and learn some humility.

Could someone explain to me, as if to a child, how and why Starmer is a worse PM than - to go with recent memory - Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak
