Let me put that question to you, Richard Tyce
0:01
What is the point of Sir Keir Starmer? A very good question. Frankly, at this stage, not a lot
0:06
And that's why I can reveal that. I mean, I knew a week ago that this was bubbling up
0:11
And it's not just West Streeting, but there are three or four other Cabinet ministers
0:16
who are preparing leadership teams and plans. Name them. For the inevitable challenge that is going to come in the coming months
0:28
The Prime Minister will be lucky to see out the May elections. What I think everybody suspects now, and we can be pretty confident
0:35
is that neither he nor the Chancellor see the budget of 2026 in their current roles
0:43
So this will be the end of Skiya Starmer. It will be the end of Rachel Rees
0:47
Rachel Rees, by the way, said, I thought she was going to burst into tears again at PMQ. She looks so miserable on the Labour benches
0:52
The mood on the Labour benches was very sombre. They were trying to sort of support the Prime Minister
0:56
But the reality is that Barry Gardner encapsulated it yesterday on a different channel evening
1:03
And he just rounded on the prime minister and number 10 and said there's no vision, no cohesion
1:08
It's essentially rudderless. It's chaotic. What's the point of them? I mean, someone of Barry Gardner's seniority as a as a longstanding Labour MP
1:19
for him to essentially lose his confidence in his leadership team is quite extraordinary
1:27
And I think he typifies how significant this is This is not a one bad day This is a serious move of despair amongst Labour Yes there is despair on the back benches
1:42
but he did win a landslide majority last year, 160 seat majority
1:47
There's only two Labour MPs, Labour figures alive, who have done that
1:50
One is Tony Blair, one is Keir Starmer. He's not going to go anywhere. I think if you look at the team around him
1:56
that's been defenestrated since the election. He's losing people around him who can tell him what to do next and why to do it
2:03
He's losing the people who can help him with the political touch, and he needs some help, but he's not going to go anywhere
2:08
He will stay in that role till the election and try and fight it, and the election will be, I think, in 2029, not 2027
2:13
Well, essentially, the ogy is they're in the bunker, and they are so deep in the bunker
2:18
and they're now essentially sort of bumping off for people who are trying to protect them on the outside of the bunker
2:24
and it's out of touch, out of sight, disappearing off to cop whatever number it is
2:32
And, yeah, I mean, the whole thing's absolutely chaos. And the truth is that all of his cabinet colleagues
2:37
well, a meaningful number of them, are preparing their plans. They're sharpening the knives
2:43
You said that twice now on GB News. For our viewers at home who don't follow politics
2:47
who are you talking about? Name them. Trust me. Just trust me. But you want to bring them down. You would say that, wouldn't you
2:53
Just trust me, there is a lot going on. This is not a one day of madness, I can assure you
2:59
And everybody's despairing. And as Nigel said nine days ago, the likelihood of this running all the way to 2029 is becoming more remote
