Prediction 1:
There will soon be a poll in which Labour place FIFTH.

If I’m right, it will be without any precedent in the entire history of British politics.

Prediction 2: Starmer will resign or be toppled this year, probably straight after the May elections.

I'm not especially sympathetic to Starmer but JF makes a pretty compelling point here.

Now we have the loony left of Labour sticking knives in themselves on @channel4news.bsky.social Apsama Begum

The conversation on @mrjamesob.bsky.social about how the left find hills to die on is very prescient.

Kier Starmer offered a dignified and full apology yesterday over his appointment of Mandelstein. Subject to transparency via the investigation, that is sufficient in my view. Why do I say that, you ma...

Very plausible. Who do you reckon will succeed Starmer & get rid of all these policies? Streeting is tarnished by Mandelson/Epstein.

Not sure. Rather, more proof Starmer is utterly inadequate. We don't need his pointless conscience, we need political conviction: sack MacSweeney, use a massive majority to pursue a clear political programme.

And if things are really as grim for Starmer as is being suggested, what does he have to lose anyway?

Starmer gets unfair criticism, but one criticism I think is fair is that he seems unable to spot and utilise opportunities: the US going rogue is a chance to say that 2016 was in another age and there is now a clear case for saying the decision to turn away from Europe was wrong and must be reversed

On Epstein, Mandelson and Starmer - and the argument that the PM won't make. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There’s one argument Starmer could make to save his skin – but he won’t dare do it | Jonathan Freedland
It’s right to focus on what the PM knew about Peter Mandelson, but many pointing the finger also knew and chose to ignore it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now …

Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto
Disability benefit cuts… not in there either
Cutting jury trials… also not there
Digital ID… no mention
Raising employers NI… nope
Freezing tax threholds… nah
Contracts with Palantir… no

The Mandelson scandal will probably topple Starmer. That must be the first time he's ever done anything positive for the Labour Party.

I think one of the most annoying aspects of the slow death of Starmer's premiership is the constant refrain he is a "decent man". He is leading the most anti-immigrant and anti-LGBT government of if not my life, certainly my voting life time! It's really, really horrible! That's not "decent"!

Starmer should go now. No good is going to come of him trying to cling on. It's not just Labour being damaged but he's dragging the whole political system, which is damaged anyway, further into disrepute and instability. He gambled on Mandelson and lost. Time to pay the consequences.
Starmer is clearly holed under the waterline now. He might float on a bit longer but he's going down and there is no way back. As personal failure goes, this is complete. But also it's such a waste. He had a huge majority and could have done something but instead will go down as one of the worst PMs
