@MrLix@TempletonPeckJr@Steptoesyard It's a decent arb in my view so potential to win on both sides! Albeit most likely outcome is he wins by election and becomes pm before summer recess
A cabinet minister has just told me they believe Keir Starmer will announce he is standing down this week, without the need for a contest. Only one Minister. But it's the first time I've heard it.
Government sources think Catherine West is a freelancer / lone wolf rather than an organised stalking horse acting in concert with a real contender
Question is if Streeting / Rayner will challenge in coming days, perhaps after Starmer’s Monday speech if it lands badly
In a few months Starmer will be gone. At which point all those Ministers and MPs currently saying "We can't change leader, it will be a disaster" will all suddenly say "He's done the right thing. It's best for the party and the country". And they think the voters will forget.
I had to watch it based on this and yes sure enough Trevor Phillips does a tremendous job of pulling apart Polanski in a similar way to Andrew Neil would do.
This is an absolutely shocking interview.
Trevor Phillips doesn't even try to hide his obvious burning political hostility.
Zack Polanski did very well as his interviewer distorted what he said and treated him with contempt.
@PiQSuite@MrMBrown@4670de2475d64cd Agreed with piq. The physical is even higher than the front Brent month. It's the rest of the curve that needs to catch up!
