According to the bookies, Sir Keir Starmer is odds-on to leave No 10 this year, and if they are right, history might look back on Feb 4 as the day his departure became inevitable.
With two U-turns in the space of a day, with his political guru Morgan McSweeney standing on a trapdoor, and with Angela Rayner biting at his ankles, Sir Keir’s authority has been shredded.
Even before the Mandelson row exploded underneath him, Sir Keir was the least popular prime minister on record, dismissed by the public as useless and by his own MPs as a deadbeat.
Rumours of a leadership challenge had been dominating Labour politics for months, with only the timidity of his rivals keeping him safe. May’s local elections – despite Sir Keir’s attempt to game the result by cancelling lots of them – were seen as the moment of maximum danger.
All that has changed, though, with the wholly avoidable scandal brought down on Labour by Sir Keir’s highly controversial, and possibly career-ending, decision to appoint Lord Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to Washington in February last year.
Sir Keir was the man who promised to “turn the page” on the chaos and scandals that dogged the Conservatives, but instead he has put his party at the centre of the biggest political betrayal since Profumo. The anxiety felt by Labour MPs over the opinion polls (dominated for a year now by Reform UK) has turned to anger.
Whenever prime ministers are toppled mid-term, there is a moment when the mood turns irreversibly against them, even if they manage to limp on for a while longer.

Difficult to imagine a more deserving dork.
If past performance is any indicator of the future, they’ll replace him with someone worse. Maybe a full blown Muslim cleric or something stupid. They’ve made their bed, they CAN’T reverse course NOW.
He should just wank off.
No doubt, as bad as Starmer has been, it could get a lot worse, a full-blown Trump hater who pulls a Spanish Prime Minister move by legalizing hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the channel.
You can probably guess after Starmer a while male, the next PM will be anything but a white male....
Amelia for the win!!
I don’t pity the British at all. He was asked “Westminster or Davos?” would he listen to, he said “Davos” and they elected him anyway. Also being a Sir, it seems like you could buy a knighthood pretty cheaply. All the musicians who have been knighted for singing songs. That never happened before the 20th century.
He doesn’t care about the game as long as he can change the playing field, ignore the rules, and control the scoreboard.
“Disowned by his MPs, despised by the public”
The next line should be “hunted like an animal”.
The Brits are just rearranging the deck chairs at this point. The ship is going down, or rather, muslim, and nothing is going to stop it.
This pathetic tool has attained the height of Putz-dom.
