What a basket case this Labour Party is. Tearing itself apart. with the usual left wing suspects leading the way and others caring more about their future as an MP rather than the country.

It does look as though Starmer will have to step down, but guess he is standing firm at the moment, to try and avoid a complete financial meltdown.

They can't even organise a coup, with the 80 or so dissidents bickering about who they want as Leader to replace as Starmer. Streeting will never throw off his links to Mandelson; Burnham isn't even an MP and is not guaranteed a safe seat even if he is the self-styled King of Manchester. Just a political chancer; Rayner, still not sorted out her tax affairs and will be forever tainted with that and her image as a party girl; Miliband was a disaster when he previously led the Party and cannot see him doing any better.

Maybe the former Corbyn supporters will put up a candidate. John McDonald and or even Richard Burgon, who when once asked whether, if he was PM, would he be prepared to press the nuclear button if Britain was under nuclear attack, answered that he would first of all consult with Party members!!! Maybe they will want to bring Corbyn back and Your Party will become Their Party!!! Incidentally, any radical change to the Manifesto would surely need a fresh election, which I am sure nobody in the Labour Party wants at the moment

My view, but probably beyond that, is that Starmer should be left in charge to deliver on the manifesto for change, but not necessarily lead the Party into the next election, if there is then a credible challenge to his leadership.

In relation to Farage, really a man of the people, with mates who can gift him £5m, when Starmer was pilloried in the right wing media for accepting a pair of glasses and a suit? A privately educated multi-millionaire and former commodities broker, leading a Party with seemingly a single policy to create division around immigration.
