  1. Submission statement: The UK Health Minister is attempting to topple the Prime Minister. This is relevant for the state of global politics, and for the political direction of the UK.

    This whole saga of a charismaless void attempting to knife an ineffectual weak leader so he can be PM for 15 whole minutes feels so strongly like one of those *The Thick of It* specials.

    Why was this removed? It’s relevant breaking news, and u/upthetruth1 provided helpful analysis by means of the polling show prospects of the leading contenders that helps contextualize it.

  4. If you aim for the king, you’d better not miss.

    The first head of this squashed rebellion.

    I don’t think the backbenchers will be as disruptive if Kier survives this.

    >It’s 2029. Despite the AI bubble bursting and months of race riots, Starmer is still Prime Minister, another ~~foreign policy crisis~~ quarterly growth report has kept him in power “for just a few more weeks.”

    If Starmer is clever, he’ll make a turn to the (soft) left.

    Streeting is the only candidate he’s to the left of and who they hate more than him.

    Plus it will also purge the Cabinet of careerists, he has all the potential for a “restart”
