The bloodless coup that has spilled lots of bad blood. All on Electoral Dysfunction this week
Has the PM started to alienate people in Westminster and around the UK?
@BethRigby, @RuthDavidsonPC and @HarrietHarman discuss his focus on Manchester, Anas Sarwar's move from Scottish Labour leader to the House of Lords and Andy Burnham's cabinet.

Former cabinet secretary Gus O'Donnell tells @BBCr4today there is a case for a slow hand-over to a new Labour leader, who may not have fully thought through their plans for government.

If it weren't for the fact everyone's waiting for Burnham to ride south, Starmer would have been gone a month ago.
This is like when the Conqueror was held back by bad weather and Harold thought he had enough time to go north and fight the Norwegians.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
Iāve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Streeting's letter also gives him an off-ramp to endorse Burnham and depersonalises the process. Probably his best possible play at this stage.

***NEW***
Supporters of Andy Burnham are asking the cabinet to go to Keir Starmer and urge him not to stand in a leadership contest against Wes Streeting
The Burnham camp say they think cabinet ministers will tell Starmer he should instead set a timetable for a longer contest if Streeting does move
BUT friends of Starmer completely dismiss that. They say there is no chance he will listen to any such advice and insist he will stand in a contest now if Streeting has the numbers
Streetingās allies are saying different things about whether he has 81 MPs and his chances of success in a leadership election
Some think this is his only shot and heās right to go over the top. Others are less sure he can get to 81 and also worry the backlash against him could see him lose to Starmer or another candidate
If there is an expedited contest many on the soft-left expect Ed Miliband to stand to try to stop either Streeting or Starmer winning
Any immediate contest could become a free-for-all with ambitious novice Al Carns as well as other members of the cabinet deciding they fancy their chances
As of 2pm this afternoon, the Labour Party appears to be moving from paralysis toward chaos

Banning new oil and gas from the North Sea.
He is not making us more independent. He is making us more reliant on foreign imports.
He is utterly deluded. We will fight him every step of the way.
