Pffft! Who gives a fuck what the bluesky lot think, it's a a December council by-election. It's the Scottish and Welsh elections next May that are the ones to be concerned about and it ain't looking good for Labour. Personally, I'm starting to think Starmer's a busted flush and moving into the "shifting him onto somewhere else" camp.
If Starmer goes, he goes. But even then, all of the problems he has are still going to be there, plus their successor is going to be accused of being an unelected Prime Minister.

I think that if Labour somehow decides to depose Keir Starmer, that could be a disaster for the party.

Those elections won't be good, but lots of it won't be Starmer's fault, nor will it be particularly bad for Wales/Scotland. Plaid Cymru can be a louder voice for getting more money into Wales, but otherwise aren't going to be very different. The SNP will still be stuck on independence.

If the Mahmood stuff achieves greater control over asylum, then what does Farage have left? He'll do the same stuff, but will so many care? At the moment it's drowning out lots of the stuff that the centre-left probably likes more. Or to put it more accurately, lots of the centre-left is deliberately drowning it out because they've some strange sense that this means that (what? The Greens? The SDP?) comes in and energy prices fall instantly.
