It's a ploy to get Starmer out of here and alongside Blair on the board of peace!
Also now the UN is pretty much defunct could David be on for a return to the UK?

It will help but they need to deliver, that’s what the country cares about. Sums up the party that there’s talk of Rayner being a potential challenger after she had to resign due to some unfortunate tax issues but more importantly her former department is currently overseeing the worst housing building numbers for years/decades in Londons case.
I'm fairly sure it's because of and not proof that this downturn is supplier generated.
Yeah, it’s always going to be supplier driven but what has been done to help encourage more building and why have a 1.5m target in the first place if you can’t control/influence it ? Developments are still being held up in planning for no good reason, increase in NIC/other taxes/delays which is bumping up costs to build which then brings affordability into equation
My point was more that within the party you’ll have people saying ‘we need a change of leadership’ and then proposing people who’ve done fuck all but then try to defend the individuals record (which would probably include the same reasons for defending the leaderships record). As I say, it’s just narcissist factional infighting.
All while the country is thinking WTF, get on with your jobs

It's also the image that they believe (probably correctly) that the British public want from someone in that job.
They're in charge of things like law and order and immigration, things people want us to be tough over.

Given the NEC is loaded with Starmer loyalists this was always a possibility but one I thought they might try and avoid because of how weak it makes Starmer look.Andy Burnham blocked from byelection race by Labour ruling committee

The choice for Starmer was look weak or face losing his job to Burnham. It's probably only a temporary reprieve, as I can't see him still being Prime Minister by the time of the autumn party conference.

The other option would be to convincingly see off any challenge. This course of action very much leaves the impression he is not confident of his ability to do that.
