I've been reminded of Allegra Stratton being forced to resign. I don't recall Bozo stepping up and saying "Hey, Allegra, you only made a joke, you stay I'll front this out!"

And, you know, I didn't expect Bozo to do that. It's politics- the PM has responsibility across the board, Stratton didn't, and she took the bullet. That's politics, always has been, Lord Carrington took a bullet for Thatcher when the Falklands was invaded. Leon Brittan took a bullet for Thatcher over Westland. Norman Lamont took a bullet (not very contentedly) for John Major over devaluation. James Callaghan took a bullet for Harold Wilson over devaluation, if you want to go further back. Amber Rudd took a bullet for Theresa May over Windrush.

This narrative that it's a particular character failure of Starmer to sack Robbins is such bullshit.
