Dan Hodges ~ Mail On Sunday: Finally it's over. After another weekend which began with Keir Starmer barricaded in Chequers with his loyal advisers, and explaining to anyone who will listen how he was experiencing another tortuous, dark night of the soul, reality has finally bitten. And bitten deep. Despite all the bombastic briefings, the fight has finally been extinguished from our embattled Prime Minister. There is as yet no formal announcement. But numerous government sources have confirmed that tomorrow Sir Keir will at last announce he is stepping down. The reason for his decision is not yet clear. However, according to one insider I spoke to, 'something happened today. He was going to take more time to think it over but something convinced him there was no point fighting on.' On Friday I was talking to a former Starmer aide, asking whether they thought their former boss would finally bow to political reality. The former aide told me: 'To be honest it depends on what Morgan [McSweeney, his former chief of staff] and his wife Victoria say to him. They're basically the only two people he listens to. They're his only properly close friends.' https://mol.im/a/15916281 |
