Good morning, from the NS --

Does Keir Starmer realise how much trouble he’s in?
The Prime Minister is facing a crisis of contempt among his own MPs


By Ailbhe Rea

I've only read the condensed snippets in my mail, but lots of interesting stuff there :-)

"" So this week I take you inside the underbelly of the Labour parliamentary party – a place of contempt, plotting and despair; and inside Number 10 – a place of personality clashes and not wanting to tell the boss certain uncomfortable truths. I want to answer the question: does Keir Starmer know how much trouble he is in ?""

What did Dunt do wrong? Excuse my ignorance :-)

Damn ! That reminded me that Cooper still exists .

Starmer rather lamely insisted that he was leading a “united team”, but that only led to glum faces among the Labour MPs behind him and roars of laughter from the Tory benches.

One Labour adviser said: “Morgan McSweeney has made Kemi Badenoch good at PMQs. Unforgivable.”

The smart money remains on a badly-wounded Starmer remaining in post until May, after which he will face a leadership challenge.

But in trying to make their boss seem strong, his aides have only succeeded in highlighting his fundamental weakness, meaning his chances of surviving such a coup have all-but vanished.

I suppose it was the UK taxpayer, and not Moscow!, who paid for the Sultana trip to Paris where she met Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians ...

but she does find herself in funny company !

So, the NYT has been sitting on this information for a decade!
