Starmer’s Psychotic Serenity Survives as Kemi Lobs Baubles – Guido Fawkes

Jessica Morden is the chair of the PLP and guardian of the rebellions bubbling away on the backbenches: it is she to whom the regime-change letters are sent. She was the Starmer-backed candidate for the chair but is now keeping questionable company up there in the top corner at the Speaker’s end. She’s on the edge of the area where the subversives hang out, the perpetual left who truly forget nothing and learn nothing. Commons politics begins with where you choose to sit, so the PM might lift his eyes from the “calm, patient work of government” to take note of that.

Speaking on behalf of almost everyone, Kemi and Stephen Flynn asked him about his imminent demise – but that raises the counter-question: Might this cardboard cut-out of a premier actually survive? Might the plotters consume each other? When research shows that Angela Rayner PM is an international laughing stock and Ed Miliband loses everyone’s seats, and Wes Streeting is the only alternative – is it possible that Starmer stumbles through?
