  • Is Starmer a victim of misfires?

    The dropout rate of Starmer University is increasing. Now, John Healey MP (Rawmarsh and Conisbrough/Labour) has left as Defence Secretary.

    It’s about funding, and the issue seems likely to be entwined with HM Treasury. But it’s Starmer University that gets the parting shot.

    I can’t carry on. I’ve got to go. You haven’t delivered.

    Off Healey drops.

    This isn’t the first (it wasn’t the last). Is there more to come? Goodness knows, a class walkout might be in order. What a dire year for the institution we know (and love…).

  • Starmer is relying on his Cabinet to stay on

    The Prime Minister has a job to keep in the public eye, the fallings out of disputes taking on a new edge as the dust settles. It looks chaotic to some, and this type of disarray is looked at unfavourably in many important UK centres of work.

    The influence of key industry decision makers looms large over his Premiership. He must maintain composure at the top in face of an increasing number of failures by people in his remit. The outcome of his time in Number 10 is now determined by it.
