Burnham's win last night has added fuel to the fire and there had been a lot of talk that if he won, Keir's days would be numbered. Add on the gang rape report and it seems like the fire that will burn down the house of Starmer may go full inferno.

EXCLUSIVE:

* Cabinet ministers will this afternoon tell Sir Keir Starmer to set out a timeline for his departure in the wake of Andy Burnham's by-election victory in Makerfield

* The prime minister is holding a series of meetings and calls with ministers and Labour MPs. The Times has been told that 'multiple' cabinet ministers will tell him that his "time is up". Senior figures in No 10 are also telling Starmer it is time to go

* Starmer insists he is going nowhere. He is planning to use the calls to make the case for his Premiership and try to shore up support

* His pitch is twofold: 1) A contest will tear the party apart and 2) We are delivering - NHS waiting lists are falling, the number of small boat crossings is down, legal migration if falling. 'The worst thing we can do is take our foot off the gas'

* Cabinet ministers say there is no route through this. It's about accepting political reality and leaving with dignity

* We're now locked in a debilitating stalemate. Neither Andy Burnham nor Keir Starmer wants a leadership contest, for very different reasons - Burnham because he favours a coronation, Starmer because he wants to stay in power and believes a challenge will rip the party apart

* Starmer is insisting he will fight any challenge. Allies say he has a 100,000 war-chest and all the infrastructure -including key staffers, campaign literature etc - in place. He is ready to go

* Burnham allies think Number 10 has lost contact with reality. They argue that on any measure it is over for Starmer and that he should accept reality and stand down. They accuse him on to power and say his position is untenable

* It looks increasingly like Burnham and Starmer may not talk until next week. As per @PronouncedAlva Burnham has his list of nominations ready to go - 200+ - and is prepared to hand them over to Starmer to pressure him into going

* The situation is clearly unsustainable. So how will the deadlock be broken? First, pressure from backbenchers - 100 Labour MPs have now called for him to go. That number will only rise this weekend

* Second, pressure from Cabinet ministers as above. But here's the rub - we have been here before and he has just ignored them. Shabana Mahmood, Ed Miliband, John Healey, Wes Streeting... the list is getting longer and longer. We are somewhere between a rock and a hard place.

Yes. There will be a leadership contest, and Burnham will win, then he will probably call an election in the Fall. Labour might lose 100 seats, but it might retain a small majority, or be the biggest party in a left wing coalition. Farage's party missed an opportunity by not having a good candidate, and the fringe group took 7% of the vote, too, so it ended up not being close. If that is repeated across the country, Labour could win an outright majority in a general election.

It feels like every three weeks or so we have a new thread about his time being up yet he is still there.

I read that Burnham is left of Starmer politically

Looked him up. So, he's still a dumbass economically but then almost everyone over there is regardless of party affiliation. They are all socialists with the only real difference being how they approach immigration.

One reason Burnham has attracted attention is that he combines traditionally left-leaning Labour economics with a somewhat tougher stance on issues like immigration and regional identity than some Labour politicians, giving him appeal beyond Labour's core voters.

Probably a fair assessment, but, unlike Starmer, he does have something that resembles a spine, and may actually make a few hard choices. But, then again, maybe not. Certainly, he will try to avoid that before an election.

more likely he is suicided at this point. they can't have that man talking, and he is straight up terrified right now.

I think the Rape Gang report is being reported in some news, but being taken with a grain of salt.

I believe there were three reports being completed but different groups.

The one just released is primarily driven by the Restore Party (to the right of Nigel Farage Reform Party). Crazy policies like ending and reversing immigration, clamping down on asylum, etc. have earned them a reputation as extremists.

I would imagine a great deal, if not all of the report, is accurate. The faction publishing that particular report gives them some cover to say it's sensationalized.

Is the gang rape thing getting any air time at all on London and UK media?
Where is the King? The King should be using whatever power he has under their constitution to toss the PM on his arse.
Starmer needs to be tar'd and feathered on the street in front of Winchester. (well that would be a good start... I still say he should be hanged inside Tower of London.

Per family there, not reported on at all. Even reading stuff online about it could get you arrested there.

I think you meant sane and justified and not crazy? Doing the opposite of that is cultural suicide.

I don't pay enough for emojis to imply sarcasm. 100% sane and justified.

'Somewhat tougher stance on immigration' had me laughing out loud. That's not the answer, Brits.

We will take 1M Muslims instead of 1.3M Muslims.

And allow them to only rape women over 18. Maybe 14.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer is now considering resigning after Cabinet Ministers called for him to step down

He'll come to a decision with his wife and family over the weekend

I've taken the kids to the UK and France two times now. They will be able to give their kids first hand knowledge of each before the caliphate.

Things will not get any better under Burnham if he takes over Labour. He's a far left wing con artist.

Quote:

---

Burnham is seen as a political shape-shifter. He spent his formative years working under centrist Labour prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. The party and Burnham then shifted left under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. In 2017, Burnham moved to Manchester and reinvented himself as a jovial left-wing metro mayorManchester's precursor to Mamdani.

Critics say that Burnham has blown with the prevailing political winds over his four-decade career. A well-worn joke in Westminster goes like this: "A Blairite, a Brownite and a Corbynite walk into a bar. The barman asks: 'What are you having, Andy?' "

---

He was for the following while campaigning as a leftist but then moved to the "center" to fight off Reform Party. That simply means he's now lying and will absolutely go back to his far left wing desires:

Quote:

---

He has called for mass nationalization of utilities, for the U.K.'s electoral system to be overhauled and for Britain to rejoin the European Union.

He recognized that the nation's finances are too constrained for large-scale nationalizations and said Britain isn't going to rejoin the EU soon. And, after Reform called him "open borders Andy" during the recent campaign, he started talking tougher on immigration.

"I've been trying to discern an economic philosophy and haven't really succeeded," said John Springford, an economist at the Center for European Reform think tank.

He pledged to focus on bread-and-butter issues like household bills to take the heat out of the immigration debate. "Everyone's impacted by the cost of living, and it gets us away from some of this divisive politics," he said, citing New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom Burnham admires.

Buh bye!

Is the replacement another establishment stooge?

This is going to be like the Chicago mayor outcome where everyone got so fed up with Beetlejuice's far left incompetence that they replaced her with someone who was just as far left and incompetent.

---

From what I've seen on Twitter, this is what's on tap. Everyone in line to replace him is as bad or somehow even worse. So while Starmer's sacking will give one ******* his just desserts, it's not going to fix anything.

The Chicago comparison is perfect.

How many times have we heard this before?
