As Sir Keir Starmer’s approval ratings nosedive faster than a lettuce in a heatwave, Westminster’s smoke-filled rooms are buzzing—and no, it’s not just vape clouds from aides on lunch break. Enter: the power couple no one asked for—Wes Streeting and Angela “Back From the Ashes” Rayner. Allegedly, he wants her on a “joint ticket” for Labour leadership. And they say romance is dead.
🤝 Desperation, Disgrace & a Dream Ticket to Nowhere
Yes, the same Angela Rayner who was recently demoted, discredited, and publicly flogged (figuratively) is now being sweet-talked back into relevance. The condition? Back Wes Streeting’s tilt at the throne, and she gets to dust off her Cabinet lanyard and climb back aboard the broken Labour bus.
You can almost hear the pitch:
“Angela, darling, we both want power. Starmer’s toast. Come back, I’ll let you call me ‘comrade’ again.”
To which Rayner probably replied: “Only if I don’t have to pretend to like your NHS policies.”
It’s pure Westminster theatre:
The loyalist turned liability.
The upstart itching to outshine the charisma vacuum currently wearing the Labour crown.
And behind it all: a party so fractured, they’re duct-taping disgraced deputies to policy wonks just to get one full functioning brain between them.
Labour’s grand plan to regain voter trust?
Slap a scandal-ridden wildcard and an NHS hawk on the same campaign leaflet and hope no one notices the smell of desperation and ambition stew. 🥣🔥
It’s House of Cards meets EastEnders—if both were written by a committee too scared to pick a side. The only real surprise is that Starmer’s still holding on. Probably because no one can find the password to his resignation email.
Is this the future of Labour… or the end of it? Would you back a Streeting-Rayner leadership mashup—or does it reek of reheated leftovers and backroom deals? Let us know in the blog comments—the juicier, the better. 💬👀
