Ministerial resignations are mounting. Over a hundred Labour MPs have publicly called for Keir Starmer to go. The cabinet meeting produced no resolution. And yet there is no leadership challenge — because Labour MPs cannot agree on who should replace him.
Labour is choosing to do this in the messiest way imaginable.
Starmer himself is a genuinely principled politician who has delivered more for ordinary people than he is given credit for — workers rights, renters rights, clean energy, public ownership, tackling violence against women. But as Jess Phillips said in her resignation letter, his unwillingness to have a political argument meant the party had no argument for the public. And now they are paying the price.
We break down the full state of the Labour leadership crisis — why there is no challenge despite enough MPs publicly calling for one, why Andy Burnham's path to succession is becoming increasingly blocked by the chaos Labour is choosing, why this mirrors the Tory paralysis of early 2022, why the timing of these public resignations is deeply unhelpful, the risk of a Liz Truss-style investor confidence collapse if this is handled badly, and what Labour should do with their remaining time in freiburg vs braga government if they are genuinely heading toward letting Reform UK in.
Nobody is coming trisha krishnan out of this with any credit. Not Starmer. Not his cabinet. Not the backbenchers. And certainly not the party that promised never to repeat Tory chaos.
