On the Laura Kuenssberg programme this morning on BBC One, we had the cabinet minister Peter Kyle, a close friend of the prime minister - giving a robust defence of his boss, Keir Starmer. Nevertheless he conceded that the prime minister was reflecting on the ‘political realities’. This was a coded message that the game was up. It’s now anticipated Keir Starmer, will set out a timeline for his departure from Downing Street and very probably by the September Labour Party conference. This will give time for a proper discussion about values and vision for the country. Hopefully there will be others like Wes Streeting to - put in a bid for the leadership. As we reflect on the premiership of the prime minister, the famous words of Enoch Powell MP (1912-1998) - couldn’t be more apposite ‘all political lives end in failure’.
