As we approach the local elections in 2 weeks time, there is increasing anxiety in the Labour Party, that it could be a - blood bath. Many members of parliament have very small majorities and it wouldn’t take much to unseat many from the House of Commons. For example the health secretary Wes Streeting, has a tiny majority in his constituency of Ilford North of only 528. In The Times today Patrick Maguire, has a good article about how the mood in the party is sulphurous and potentially explosive. If as expected the polls are terrible, then it’s the end of Starmer and preparations will start to have Andy Burnham, a seat in the House of Commons. He will then be the next leader of the Labour Party and prime minister.
