The cabinet is completely crap .....Reeves, Rayner , Cooper , Streeting , Lammy , Powell ....shes appalling

But Starmer is the leader of anti labour toxicity .....especially within the local parties

Hes got to go to give labour any chance of defeating reform , its abysmal from him and his troops
I would be surprised if Labour ditch Starmer before the next election. Labour don't have the 'men in grey suits' system of culling party leaders who repel the voters, like the Tories do (or did). To remove Starmer there would have to be a major revolt in the PLP/cabinet backed by figures like Mandelson and the main donors. The big lobbyists and donors love Starmer - he is doing what they want to see!

If he was dumped, his successor is likely to be Wes Streeting (no other Cabinet member has 'shown') and he is at serious risk of losing his seat next time around. He scrapped in by a whisker last year against a pro-Palestine independent.
