I think Sarwar has done him a favour - it’s brought it to a head but also made it look fucking ludicrous, and likely earned Starmer some sympathy for having to put up with such nonsense.

It does look like that to me at the moment. I'm sure Brian Leishman, Clive Lewis, and a couple more will follow Sarwar over the top, But hopefully it can be contained.

Sarwar looks independent and tough, said no one in Scotland today. He'll be out before Starmer.

Pundit gives an unpredictable view shock (Miraj was a Tory candidate before the nutters took over). And he's right, tough it out, Keir

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Time for a loyalty test, and a clear out?

Nah, we might need to change PM later anyway, in which case the new PM will be entitled to (hopefully) her own new team. We don't need to be racking up extra ministers for Housing etc before we get to that stage.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha ha ha.

I'm sure the appointment of Mandelson wasn't universally popular in the Cabinet but they managed to stick to collective responsibility. That's quite the embarrassment there for Mr Straight-talker Sarwar there. The PM should resign for believing that man who I also supported fervently.

[Abernathy]

It’s beginning to look like Sarwar has somewhat wrecklessly, and needlessly, gone out on a limb. Nobody else that matters has called for similar. Every single member of the cabinet, including Angie Rayner, has now publicly backed Keir Starmer.

I rather hope the cunt falls off and out of his job leading Labour in Scotland.

Limb? Out on his treacherous Scotch arse, I hope. I have never trusted that slippery scroat.

[Oboogie]

Anas Sarwar should call for Anas Sarwar to resign.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Lucy Powell has backed Starmer too.

Don't think there's been even a PPS resignation, has there? There may well be some, but doesn't look like it'll be enough.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

It used to be the case that if you called on someone to resign, and they won a vote of confidence, you took the 'honourable' way out yourself, you lost, you paid the price...

[Tubby Isaacs]

That’s an idea. He made an arse if himself before by saying he was on course to be First Minister.

[mattomac]

You certainly don't make statements like the one he did and have this on your social media. Basically Sarwar took the position of the likes of Badenoch. That's not a great look.

Yep. So did Polanski, you might not be surprised to hear. There's a bit of David Cameron "How hard can this PM lark be" about him. And isn't it supposed to be about policy for people like him?

John Swinney says Anas Sarwar's call for Starmer to resign shows he's 'an opportunist'
John Swinney, Scotland’s SNP first minister, has accused Anas Sarwar of being an “opportunist” after the Scottish Labour leader said Keir Starmer should stand down.

Being called an opportunist by John Swinney (who went from being positive about the Grangemouth redevelopment to calling anything but keeping it open a terrible betrayal) is like being accused of wafting too much outside leg stump by David Gower.

But Swinney's got Sarwan's number, for sure.

From the BBC Live Blog:

Inside Westminster: Our political correspondent - who was outside the room - says there were noisy rounds of applause for the PM and it was so busy, two ministers were turned away

I can live with that.

Now, journalists - shut the FUCK UP and report news, NOT try and manufacture it.

[Abernathy]

Dianne Abbott (who ?) on C4 news said she thought that the applause was “staged”.

What. A. Fucking. Idiot.

Top civil servant could become third key No 10 departure in days
Exclusive: Cabinet secretary Chris Wormald is expected to follow Morgan McSweeney and Tim Allan out the door

They're not fucking about, are they?

Is this the right decision? Who knows? Looks a bit headless chicken to me.
