This is where the damage will have been done. Starmer has survived but is damaged goods (if he wasn't already before). And that will reflect badly on Labour at the next elections. Which is a good thing.

Well maybe. I think he deserves to get the boot but I fear that whoever comes next will be even worse (yes that's actually possible😭)

Slight tangent - I just googled Peter Stefanovic as his posts are quoted here a lot. As a Sky News Australia employee, he seems to post an awful lot about UK politics which feels odd when he lives and works on the other side of the world. Any background to this?

Sky News had John Mcdonnell (Corbyn's shadow chancellor) on last night. He was decrying how Starmer isn't interested on having a broad church labour party, totally ignores all those outside his small clique, and how Starmer decided to continue with Mandy's appointment despite having been warned it was a bad idea and would blow up in his face at some point.

Agreed. I've said on here before it's probably in our best interests that Starmer and RFA limp on until Labour hopefully get the boot at the next GE (rather than have any of the potential replacements 'running' the country).

Does Britain benefit?

Nice attempt to rewrite history.

I replied ( and did so by replying quoting this post ( my highlighting)

In the whole scheme of things, Reform will benefit from this fiasco.
That's the bad part.
However, with all the international noise going on, it seems that the media aren't putting the spotlight on Fagash. I wonder if the people who intend to vote for reform see the Fagash/Trump relationship as toxic, or do they blindly see steer us into hell?
Fagash as PM would be like Orban in a lot of ways.: anti-EU, prone to foreign influence, in a party prone to corruption and ineptitude.

No one in the UK will benefit from Starmer stepping down and no one will benefit if he stays on , regardless of whether he should or not.

Unless there's someone who can step up to the helm and push joining the customs union and has more conviction...

You made no mention of Britain benefitting or otherwise.
You said no one will benefit or gain from him staying or going....which is patently false - some people will benefit. There is no mention in that post of Britain benefitting

No competition. He wins that with every post (OK, not with every post, but we all know what I mean, well possibly not all because one person might not). Only a champion pedant would carp.

Global Counsel went bankrupt owing £4.5million

Not a story that will help him rehabilitate himself, even if its not directly his fault

Interesting article in PE “Mandy’s Handymen”. Some interesting connections between the players. Cronyism lives. 😂
