  • The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways. Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar. We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.

The Countries: Forget it, Burkina Faso, Michigan is still the worst.

Starmer has no other choice. Labour, OTOH, can and should "terminate the Colonel's command with extreme prejudice."
The problem is the most likely successor would Wes Streeting, a man slightly more popular than gangrene. Imagine if Chuck Schumer was tossed aside and replaced by John Fetterman.

The Greens have become a more viable opponent to Nigel Farage and his band of Nazis. "VGNMW"
 
87 Labour MPs have now called for Starmer's resignation, to which Starmer has replied, "When you take it from my cold, dead hands."

No one wants to be the first to openly challenge for the head of the party and PM, because the person who moves first rarely wins. The two major candidates seem to be Wes Streeting and Manchester mayor Andy Burnham (think AOC). Problem is Burnham is not a member of Parliament so not eligible. He allegedly has already lined up a seat, he just needs that person to resign and win the by-election. That likely means making a deal with the Green Party so they don't run a candidate of their own and stop him. Their platforms are heavily aligned, so it shouldn't be that difficult to do.

My guess is that Streeting realizes if he hesitates his chance to be PM will disappear and will be forced to make his move before Burnham can be seated. Then it's a choice between going for Streeting now or waiting until end of summer when Burnham will likely be ready. Hopefully the party chooses to wait. Burnham can offer a clean slate, follow through on the progressive campaign promises Starmer made and has broken, and a Labour-Green coalition (with the SNP and Plaids) can regain the support of the people and prevent the Nazis from taking over at the next general lection in 2028 or 2029. If Labour go with Streeting it's almost certain the Fascists will win in 2029.
 
As expected, Wes Streeting has made his move. He met with Starmer and made his intentions clear, but said he wouldn't announce it yet because he didn't want to overshadow the King's Speech (then leaked the news anyway)

Now we see how Labour MPs respond.
