Starmer has a 30 point lead over Streeting, it’s not even tight. I wonder if this is why Streeting so far hasn’t resigned today like all the media claimed he would. I imagine quite a few of his backers will look at this poll and think if they really want to publicly endorse someone so unpopular with the Labour membership.
Edit: He’s now resigned, I guess it was this or look like a spineless coward that was all talk but will be very interesting if his backers are still willing to endorse him, I’d be amazed if this poll hasn’t been going around the Labour camp today.
He’s maybe the only person in Labour that people like *less* than Sir Keir
He’s the definition of someone who has bought into thier own hype.
I dunno where the idea that Streeting would be good as Pm came from. I know nothing at all about him. Why is this even a conversation?
Who is he gonna win over? Presumably anyone who likes Streeting may as well stick with Starmer? They’re pretty similar politically right?
His face when Kemi Badenoch told him to do his job and stop giving her dirty looks because everyone knows what he’s been up to was so great. I’d never pick her as PM but she adds something fun to the disaster that is our government at the moment
He looks like a cross between an evil baby and a fridge
Look at his eyes it’s empty and so banal but I see the same kind of emptiness from Keir Starmer. It may be more about how frustrating and confusing it is as a leader of the UK. He looks just lost which I kinda understand if he feels that way.
Wes Streeting is someone who’s liked by about 100 people in the country and 90 of them work in the media.
Replacing Starmer is just going to make Labour a lame duck… they’ve also got no one in the party putting forward how they’ll fund the things they criticise Starmer for not doing.
Politics is now so far removed from economic reality that this merry go round of changing PMs is going to continue.
Traitorous nobody.
The only person popular enough to win a leadership contest against Starmer and the General Election is Burnham. But they effed up their chances.
The headline at the top of the front page of the BBC news website at the moment is
> Streeting silent as Labour MPs wait to see if he launches leadership challenge
We’ve got to the point in this absurdity where the press are reporting *nothing happening* as the biggest story.
That’s not a story. How do we fix our press? Maybe a rule that limits them to only n new articles a day, or a certain number of updates, so they are not so desperate for something new to say all the time.
This is why politicians are so hated.
Not one of them give a shit what we, the public want, they just care about what is best for them.
At no point has Streeting or any other Labour MP think “Maybe we ask thr public what they want”
They are just live in their own little bubble and the only thing that matters to them is power
We will never accept someone with such close ties to Mandleson
Would to see this chap, put trump, Putin and xi in order, telling them how is going to be.
I mean pragmatically they need to wait until there’s a by election that burnham can win, he’d be more popular than Starmer nationally too
Well, he’s gone and done it now. Other contenders should not run and the party should rally round Starmer. Let’s hope Streeting has shot himself in the foot
Well duh.
The right wing of the labour party might love him for his oligarch connections however centrist voters are fully piped up on “sensible stable leadership” regardless of the reality of Starmers awful leadership that’s still what they feel and it’s the “aesthetics” of centrism.
The disaffected are the center left who don’t have there candidate as an option.
I’d almost suspect this to be a ploy to bolster Starmer if he follows through so if later Burnham challenges Starmer the centrists can now even more piped up on Starmer say “we had a leadership challenge and sensible already won”
That’s good to hear. No politician I despise more than Wes.
I’d hope he’d loose it against a mouse dressed as Margret Thatcher.
I assume his job at Palantir is ready and waiting…
Streeting won his seat, in an Election where Labour won a stonking majority, by just over 500 votes.
He’s barely popular in his own constituency. He’s REALLY not popular among the Labour membership.
City of London and bond vigilante vote for Starmer. Anyone who pays the mortgage needs to know that.
He’s bought and paid for which is the only reason he has any appearance of backing despite his wild unpopularity.
Edit: obviously the problem for Starmer is of course why he’s put a recipient of private health donations in his cabinet in the first place.
I hope Ed Miliband has spent the last 12 years practicing eating bacon sandwiches and is now a world class expert.
I think he’s the only person (who’s eligible) I’d like to see as leader.
Rayner would probably have been good, but she fucked her chances with the tax nonsense.
Pretty much the only pillock im aware of who can make starmer the unequivocal better option lmao.
He’s awful. He’s like an AI version of Starmer who he has been single white female-ing for months.
Why are the Labour Party buying in to the media/right wing circus and fucking up their chance to finally lead and do some good?
Yes the progress is slow, yes they lack some direction and momentum, but positive things have been happening (Palantir most definitely excluded). Rally behind Starmer and do the work you were voted in to do!
idk why Streeting thinks people like him enough to be PM. The Public, A lot of Labour, the Media all think he’s a ghoul.
Streeting would lose a popularity contest with a week old sack of dog shit. So this isn’t at all surprising
I’d legitmately join the Labour party just so I could vote against Streeting becoming party leader, if that’s possible.
the thing is even if kier starmer survives this his reputation the party and country is destroyed the same thing happened to johnson he survived the attempt to remove him but the damage had been done by that point
