 🎭What’s better than a scandal? A death spiral narrative so juicy you can see the vultures circling before the body hits the floor. British media has hit the melodrama jackpot: Keir Starmer, they’ve decided, is finished—because nothing says “objective reporting” like preloading the obit before the facts arrive.

🪦 Headlines, Histrionics & the Coronation of Queen Rayner 👑

Welcome to Westminster: where political journalism moonlights as Game of Thrones fanfic. Starmer isn’t just under pressure—he’s being publicly embalmed while Angela Rayner is quietly fitted for a crown she hasn’t even asked for. One minute there’s a procedural dispute over Mandelson-related documents, the next it’s Macbeth with redactions. 🩸📜

The media scriptwriters have dusted off their favorite plot twist: the authority crisis. “He’s vulnerable,” they whisper. “Least popular ever,” they chant. “Forced into a U-turn,” they proclaim—as if any decision made after public input is an act of weakness, not democracy doing its job.

And Rayner? Not just dissenting. Not just questioning. She’s leading a revolt. That word alone catapults her from deputy to de facto queenmaker. If Starmer is slipping, she’s already being cast as the gravitational centre of a possible post-collapse Labour cosmos. It’s not so much analysis as auditioning for the sequel.

Meanwhile, the coverage implies a cover-up with all the subtlety of a tabloid murder mystery. “Publication of documents” isn’t just transparency—it’s the result of a forced about-turn, naturally. Starmer didn’t choose to be open, poor soul—he was outmanoeuvred, cornered, and probably tied to a chair with a spotlight in his face.

Let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: “Gordon Rayner… hears the bell tolling.” That’s journalism speak for “Trust me, I’m clairvoyant.” No need to examine events—you’re just here for the prophecy. The facts are secondary to the vibe: This. Is. The. End. 🔮

Because if you repeat “loss of control” enough, you don’t need a leadership vote. You just need enough headlines to make the coup feel inevitable. No dagger required—just a columnist with a flair for foreshadowing and a thesaurus full of funeral metaphors.

Is Starmer genuinely in trouble—or are we watching the Westminster Media Reboot Machine crank out another “succession crisis” because they’re bored of the economy? 🧠🔥 Drop your thoughts, digs, or defences in the comments below—not just on Facebook where nuance goes to die.
