“It might collapse”

Sure, anything can happen. But do you know how the House of Commons operates? I can see Starmer being replaced, that’s easy to understand.

But 250 members who owe their seats to the Labour Party defying a three-line whip to oust the government and to force an election? those are two separate things). If Starmer’s government fell the first thing that would happen would be for the King to ask another Labour politician to form a government that could hold the House. That could go on until 250 Members had refused.

That’s as close to impossible as I can imagine.

They will soon revolt to save their own necks and if they think they’re in danger of losing that seat

And most of them are in danger already and its only been 6 months
