      >Ed Miliband has said he was certain Keir Starmer would sack whoever had briefed against Wes Streeting, after a chaotic 48 hours in which No 10 launched an operation to shore up the prime minister against an anticipated leadership challenge.

      Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Starmer the tool maker’s son?

      He was a Dark Lord of neoliberalism so powerful he purged social democracy from a social democratic party.

      He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he won the leadership election by lying to the membership.

      The dark side of neoliberalism is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… deceitful.

      He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was… losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Wes Streeting everything he knew.

      Then Streeting staged a leadership challenge. It’s ironic. He purged the left from the party, but the right still came for him in the end.

      Well then, what’s betting it’s one of Starmer’s inner circle?
      They will know exactly who it is already.
      Perhaps get them to do a few unfavourable policies etc first and then oust them..

      Hey there’s a budget thing coming up, more important than what donkey do you want to lead you… Why do we have so many MPs ?

      So when exactly can we expect the adults to be back in charge like we were promised?

      But what if the official was officially authorized? Or even unofficially authorized? What if the Prime Minister officially disapproves of a briefing but unofficially approves? Now that would mean that a brief would be unofficially official, but officially unofficial.

      Labour copied the tory playbook so much they left in the bit about the burning need for regicide.

      It’s Morgan McSweeney and he has been actively wrecking everything positive about this government since day 1 (since opposition in fact). Toxic person.

      So whistleblowers are not allowed in labour? Isn’t this in the law about protecting them?

      Gut still thinks the Mail/Express/Telegraph/GBN lot fabricated it.

      Then again they have all gone awfully quiet about it instead of going in for the kill. If it’s real it can only be someone on the extreme inner circle they would rather stay in place who can feed them loads of negative policy like they have done the last 16 months.

      While I’d be happy to see the back of Starmer, it isn’t worth Streeting. *Nothing* is worth Streeting.

      Besides if I ever had to choose between Streeting and Farage, I’d choose having myself launched into space with neither rocket nor parachute.

      Hell, I’d even endure 5 years of Bad Enough.

      Give me Ed (Miliband or Davey, I don’t care which) or Polanski.

      It’s funny because, unless they move Streeting to another constituency, he’s going to lose his seat at the next General Election. Have we ever had a PM who didn’t have a constituency?

      There’s enough for them to deal with in the UK without diverting their own attention with some sort of bun fight. They should grow the f**k up.

      If only we have a group of people who could report who had briefed them? We could call those people ‘reporters’.

      Or are the press seriously claiming they all had anonymous phone calls briefing against Ministers?

      Of course it is not the done thing to honestly report who actually gives the ‘anonymous’ briefings even though many reporters will know for sure as they will have been in a room with them. At least the story gives the reporters more to write about.
