Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

It's worth a diversion.

Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

But, you know, maybe he's already come to London to try and avoid absolute pandemonium at Euston tomorrow.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

But, you know, we'll see.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

Tomorrow is going to feel absolutely...

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

Huge.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

Because it is.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

That's right.

And I think also we should say, it depends as well how you define this question of how many prime ministers we've had in 10 years.

Newscast

So I already had a very cross former minister saying, you mustn't suggest it would be the seventh prime minister in 10 years because David Cameron was actually prime minister all the way from 2010 to 2016.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

So one of the elements that we were discussing on the programme this morning was with Simon Case who was the cabinet secretary for basically for all of them, for Boris Johnson, for Rishi Sunak, for Liz Truss and then for Keir Starmer.

And he said, you know, very plainly and clearly that there is a cost to this because the financial markets are already charging us more to borrow because of instability in politics.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

He said there's a cost as well because important decisions just don't get made because you don't know who the minister is.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

The decision maker is unclear.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

And that's something that, you know, politicians love talking about power.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

They love talking about who's up and down.

Newscast
Why Keir Starmer’s Resignation Looks More Likely Than Ever

So do we.

Let's face it.
