Keir Starmer

And this is the text of the email he got sent.

If Wes thinks he can pull off some kind of stitch up to avoid a fair process that will have no legitimacy, even if he briefly ends up in office, we would challenge him at the first opportunity.

he'd be lucky to outlast a lettuce.

So it's all very well saying that Starmer doesn't represent a factionalism.

But make no mistake, as soon as Starmer is not in the picture, yes, the gloves are off and it looks really ugly.

And actually, it's quite depressing, actually.

As soon as you stand back, you realise that you are in a place where...

There is the potential for the party to absolutely pull themselves apart by the roots.

And I think that also explains why Starmer is looking out now and saying they are readying the mall.

They are getting the prince's carriage ready.

They are getting Black Rod and all the kind of, you know, pomp and circumstance ready for my speech tomorrow.

The king will deliver my speech.

policy priorities to Parliament, how ridiculous would it look if I actually allowed this chaos to sort of, you know, upend what I was actually trying to get done?

And so I think there is something in Starmer's position for now, which is...

I cannot afford to become part of the psychodrama that I got elected to stop.

It's as simple as that.

Do not make me part of the chaos of whatever this party wants to do.

I will not play that game.

No, not yet.

That's the funny thing.
