Keir Starmer has told close friends he intends to stand down as Prime Minister and set out an orderly timetable for his departure.
A member of the Cabinet told me late yesterday afternoon: ‘Keir understands the political reality.
‘He realises the current chaos is unsustainable. He simply wants to be able to do it in a dignified way and in a manner of his own choosing. He will set out a timetable.’
According to another Cabinet source, it is still unclear precisely when that announcement will be made. Some senior Starmer allies have been urging him to hold off making any statement until the first polls and canvassing data is returned from the Makerfield by-election.
The UK just deployed a political weapon it's only used once before in modern history.
And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into.

Thank you Alexa Lavoie for being there.
You had/have to look hard for any coverage and finding live feeds outside of Twatter and tick tic wasn’t easy.
This was in today’s Reader Tips at SDA… 😉

Yes Marc thats right, what I said was outside of X and or Tic tok.
e.g. No direct link at Urban Scoop or at Rebel or Tommy Robinsons official Rumble sites. Didn’t search the fascists at the tube because i don’t.
There is a certain Northern subtly in Dr Norths writings, it frequently passes the less nuanced by.

King Chuckie announcing digital ID was the final straw.
