I reckon if Starmer goes Labour will end up with Streeting. Or Nandy at a push. But are any of the options sensible and likeable to both the membership and the electorate? I am not sure.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

That's the thing, I can't readily think of a Labour MP that I'd like to take over. But as you quite rightly point out, whoever it is has to appeal to the wider electorate.
Should Starmer go, I think Labour will go for Streeting or maybe Nandy
All this will be forgotten when love Island starts
far too logical - they will find some way of doing something strange... joint l
probably best for Boris to get the vote done whilst he can still make pretences about how he will deliver electoral victory
I don't think there is even a 1% chance Boris loses this. No way.
Wakefield probably isn't the best measure. The Tory MP stepped down for being found out to be a nonce so probably a significant backlash is that.
Not seen polling for the other by-election.
I've long since stopped second guessing MPs mate. But I think you're right.
That answer could be to questions such as:
- Would I cheat on my wife when she had cancer?
- Would I shag Jennifer Acuri?
- Would I lie to con people about Brexit?
- Would I rather lots of children with lots of women?
- Would I appoint Nadine Dorries and Jacob Rees Mogg to Cabinet positions?
I genuinely think he’s going to call an election and gamble on the Durham investigation result. It’s his only route to survival if the numbers against are as high as rumoured.
I'd be surprised... he's got almost 2 years to distract people
Looking back if all the sunak stuff had not hit the press he would almost certainly be gone today ... can't help but feel that's not coincidence and he's going to carry on from one crisis to the next hoping he finds a favourable window in a year or so
I don’t see how he can govern with 100 plus MPs wanting him out and the inevitable landslide by-election defeats. He has to push the can down the road somehow and get a mandate to govern again.
And I’m in no doubt the Sunak leaks came from the office of Boris…
This is on the presumption he wins the no confidence vote otherwise he can’t call one as the queen will refuse.
Maybe he’ll just lie to her again and say he won? I don’t see him losing. Be a proper cup upset.
If he loses the no confidence vote he is no longer Tory leader but still Prime Minister, and as such can still ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament. She cannot refuse.
When will the vote result be announced?
9 or just after
Around 9 apparently
It said about 9pm on the radio earlier
A lot of people would say the same thing about Macron. Especially some of the things he has been reported as saying about Ukraine and Putin.
That is a very fair point.
Okay…maybe he is in trouble
He has a majority of 80 though so unless that 100 mps are going to abstain or vote against government policy it probably won't impact that much day yo day
He's shameless... he's clearly gonna try try and ride it out with operation big dog 2... or 3... or god know how many now
I have emailed my useless Tory MP requesting he comes clean and tells his constituents which way he voted and for what reasons.
But he is the world's biggest brown noser and I am totally convinced he will support his leader. A typical career MP who has never had to go to work to do a proper job.
That is why I want him to do the honest thing and tell us why he voted as he did.

Listening to Radio 5 Live about 20 mins ago and they said that Johnson loyalists are very stoney faced and there’s a sense of panic suggesting the numbers are a lot closer than they were expecting.
Sorry I never replied to your PM about him. I read it while I was out and about and didn’t have time to reply.
You lads are clinging to the hopeless hope.
It's like Liverpool playing a league match lately they might concede first but you know they'll win.
Zero chance the dictator gets toppled from within
I want him to survive. It’ll be far more damaging for them in the short to midterm if he does.
Has a Tory leader + PM ever had a vote of no confidence and then gone on to win an election?
It was the end of Thatcher, Major lost in 1997, IDS was removed, May resigned a year later....
Anyone I am missing?

Best case is a super narrow win and he calls an election betting everything on a proper shit hand. He loses we get Truss or some other muppet. Keep him where he is.
Macron said they should not humiliate Putin so as to leave open the path to a diplomatic resolution. One may agree or not agree with that. Doesn't make him a bad politician.
My personal opinion is that Putin will not stop until he's achieved what he wants to achieve or he is taken out.
That’s a perfect comparison to be honest. I know it’s coming but I can’t help getting a little bit excited at the slight possibility.
She can refuse saying he hasn’t got the confidence of Parliament or something similar according to what I’ve read today.
