Rayner has just had to resign for what the public sees as corrupt behaviour. How is she the answer. The media would love it though, she wouldn't even get a honeymoon period.

It is not uncommon for the sitting government to have a disaster at local elections. So why would that mean Starmer has to resign.

It won't, Starmer isn't the problem. They don't want Labour in power.

I should have added 'Labour' may not be perfect. I would never vote Reform or Conservative.

We went through this back before Trump visited and Mandelson resigned. The fact that Mandelson is even worse than we all thought doesn't change the debate. Starmer isn't more guilty by association. Move on

If the Labour government falls we get Reform. They may not be perfect but they are so much better than anything else on offer. Never let perfect be the enemy of the good, a James O'Brien saying, I think. Although even he is piling in right now.

The media frenzy to get Starmer out is off the scale. Week in week out it's will Starmer survive this. And if they eventually get their way they will move onto his replacement. It seems to be their raison d’être

Why, a conman conned them. We all knew he was an associate of Epstein, but none of us expected him to be that corrupt. Starmer took a gamble that Mandleson was the right kind of person to handle Trump. It back fired but I think before knowing what I know now it was a gamble worth taking.

I find the media frenzy obscene.

We don't all see Burnham as the Messiah in Labour. The man is on an ego trip. The government doesn't need months of will he won't be, there is a country to try and turn around.

He isn't seen as the Messiah by all of us in Labour. We need a period of stability as things are slowly improving. Starmer has had a very good week, although you wouldn't know it by the press.

There is nothing I would love more than for Keir Starmer to tell Trump to f off. However it would appear that he took the right approach as Trump has backed down without us having to suffer any consequences. Being in government/diplomacy isn't always easy or comfortable.
