As Morgan McSweeney resigns - here's some basic politics for any member of the Labour Party: 1/ We cannot have a leadership contest now. Why? Because the bond market is a "daily referendum on UK political stability"...the right wing press baying for Keir to resign know this ...
2/ The rat pack of podcasters and YouTubers will have a field day stoking up chaos... a doom loop of bad headlines and soaring bond yields. Therefore Keir Starmer has to remain PM. Let's have a clear report from the ISC - and it should not be difficult to get to the point...
3/ ... did the DV process throw up any problems with Mandelson? Did the security services warn anyone? Once we have that information there is a story to tell about what went wrong ...
4/ At this moment in history - with an Iran strike possible, an incipient Russian siloviki feud, Ukraine, Greenland... Britain has to have a stable government with parliamentary backing ...
5/ There is probably even more disgusting corruption to come out from the Epstein files ... and politicians need to understand it's this, not some UK process issue, that has the power to dissolve trust in politics ....
6/ The Labour Party has a majority in Parliament, it has a mandate for government and its policies are working ... I want it to be bolder - nationalise water, cap rents etc - but that's only possible if we avoid fiscal instability.
7/ Finally, in addition to the toxic factionalism problem we must focus on misogyny - not just sexism, misogyny - which has clear expressions thru the whole of the Epstein files and is present wherever the feral elite meddle in politics ...
8/ as Jon Ossof said last night - we need to get the "Epstein Class" out of politics.
