Guessing him and Burham have planned this.

Was thinking exactly that, offered Home Secretary?
Clever move to bring the right wing and the centre ground together

Yeah, either that or he's promised him a massive defence budget.Coco wrote: ↑11 Jun 2026, 15:01Was thinking exactly that, offered Home Secretary?

Al Carns resignation, another domino piece falls. He'll probably try to be leader in a leadership race. Cooper is also on resignation watch....

Makes sense, they don't want Conform getting the Mayor, he's well aware that knuckle draggers from the satellite town's don't care if Farrage is a Russian asset who takes millions in bribes.IRONFIST wrote: ↑Yesterday, 09:49 Starmer warns/begs Burnham not to try to oust him straight away https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4dj7n83yqo![]()
Re: John Healey (Defence Secretary) resigns - Liebour imploding!
From what I have been reading and a bit of between the lines thinking - I think we will have some cabinet reshuffle in the next few weeks irrespective what happens in Makersfield. Apparently Streeting will just go for a leadership contest, with or without Burnham, Starmer and Miliband are not speaking, so it is going to get quite interesting.
I really shouldn't - but it might be so much more interesting if Burnham didn't win today - could we have a Starmer vs Streeting vs Raynor vs Miliband fight? Burnham wins today, the others will just fold to try and get a cabinet job. Already talk of Miliband being Chancellor, I hope Starmer gets a cabinent position as foreign secretary as his foreign relation work must be applauded.

Starmer would never take a job in a Burnham cabinet, the humiliation would be too much, he'll go to the backbenches until the next GE where he will stand down and then get on the EU gravy train, speaking circuit etc.stujones wrote: ↑Today, 05:50 From what I have been reading and a bit of between the lines thinking - I think we will have some cabinet reshuffle in the next few weeks irrespective what happens in Makersfield.
