Keir Starmer ‘preparing successors’ Streeting, Nandy and Cooper for Labour leadership if he has to quit
It seems Keir Starmer is determined to steer Labour into disaster – from behind the scenes, if he has to.
After handing in his questionnaire about possible breaches of Covid-19 lockdown rules at an online campaigning event last year, it seems he has contacted the people he sees as potential successors, instructing them to prepare for a leadership contest.
These include Lisa Nandy, Yvette Cooper, and even Wes Streeting. God help the Labour Party if any of them get the top spot!
Apparently he has told friends, “I will not let our hard-won gains be squandered so we will need to be ready in the unlikely event that the worst comes to worst.”
What “hard-won gains”?
Under Starmer, Labour has haemorrhaged party members and, if it hasn’t lost seats, it has certainly failed to gain them. He has struggled to gain even a polling parity with the most overtly corrupt Tory prime minister of our lifetimes.
Starmer’s time as Labour leader has been an abject failure. Any leadership by his anointed successors will certainly continue the trend.

Possibly the worst Labour leader in my lifetime. He has killed the party and still can’t score against the open-goal that is Johnson. If in post at the GE then the Tories will win with a reduced majority. People will vote for the rosette, not the leader..
