Rayner says it's now or never to kick out Keir as former deputy plots her No10 putsch with allies
Angela Rayner has told Labour MPs the time to oust Keir Starmer from No 10 is ‘now or never’ as the Prime Minister faces a critical week in his fight for political survival.
With the former Deputy Prime Minister now the frontrunner to succeed the embattled Sir Keir if he is toppled, backbenchers claimed that Ms Rayner and her allies were spending the weekend canvassing support among her colleagues.
One MP said: ‘The line from Angela is that it needs to happen now otherwise this deadly stalemate will drag on forever. That it’s now or never.’
What a choice, surely the party has better options than this. Politics has never seemed closer to a substandard TV soap opera desperate to hang on to a dwindling audience.

At least with a soap opera you get adverts to liven things up.
Or will we see Stumbler deposed only to see him in a later episode step out of the shower and declare that he had weird dream and was PM again? Fans of Dallas will perhaps appreciate the reference.
DJ - but do we want to imagine Stumbler stepping out of the shower, his special Lord Alli spectacles all steamed up?
I feel queasy now.
But is not the Ginger Growler still under investigation for tax fraud, or has that conveniently been forgotten ?
Hopefully, HMRC will have a say in the matter!
Market chaos expected within days of her getting the 'job'...
A K Haart,
Changing Keir Starmer with Angela Rayner is akin to changing your shirt if you sh*t your pants...
John and Scrobs - yes, as far as I know she hasn't settled that issue.
Mac - ha ha, yes it is just like that.
The thought of Seaside Ange becoming prime minister is appalling beyond any imaginable nightmare. Even Millibrain would probably be preferable.
Please can we all vote Labour at the locals so that TTK gets a stay of execution?
Peter - the problem is, even the faintest whiff of support could encourage Starmer to be even more totalitarian. Whatever happens we seem to be stuck with even more decline.
Yes. William Hague in a baseball hat has nothing on Ange in an inflatable canoe..
