Re: Local Elections 2026
For two main reasons
A) your buddy’s war with Iran
B) From Reuters - Long-term British borrowing costs surged to their highest in nearly 30 years, sterling slumped and shares fell on Tuesday as investors brace for a potential change of leadership that could weaken fiscal discipline.
The Markets want Starmer to stay…

Re: Local Elections 2026
Labour unions signal Starmer exit as pressure mounts on Prime Minister
Trade unions affiliated with the Labour Party have dramatically escalated pressure on Keir Starmer by declaring it is now “clear” he will not lead Labour into the next general election.
In a striking joint intervention, union figures warned that while the Government had made some progress since taking office, Labour “cannot continue on its current path”, adding to the mounting sense of crisis surrounding Starmer’s leadership.
In my view, the statement is likely to intensify speculation about a potential leadership contest after weeks of growing unrest within Labour ranks, following disastrous local election results, plunging poll ratings, and market turbulence.

I though @stephenkb put it well

Wes' theory seems to be that if you wield the knife then you get seen as a traitor and can't win, but walk around waving a big knife with 'backstabbing knife' written all over it going "hey, I'm not using it YET" you'll be a contender.

And a great reply from @wrathofgodbot
Quote:
>Be Wes Streeting
>Assume if you start the coup you will lose the leadership election
>Do everything short of triggering a coup while openly canvassing for MPs support
>Lose out on the leadership after someone triggers a coup out of a fear you Wes Streeting might become leader

Re: Local Elections 2026
I may not have the time to be Foreign Secretary, far too busy hoarding Beans, Potatoes and Carrots ready for the collapse of Civilisation.
I also only speak two languages - English and Swearing - and have no wish to fly around the World visiting Countries where I have to shake hands (or other appendages) with strange people wearing funny hats.
However (never underestimate a good however in a closing statement) with the use off a private office (or garden shed) I could find time to mutter "bugger off" down the phone every hour or so

Trump’s just awaiting your call - I’m sure you’d fit in there…

In which case, I'll be Foreign Secretary and you can be Chief of Secret Police.

If invited, I would not serve - as I’m not a member of the Victor Meldrew Appreciation Society (unlike the previous nominees), I could not bring the same energy* to any role offered…

Re: Local Elections 2026
Chief of Secret Police, yes that might work, I could easily change my phone mutterings to "don't look behind you"
