🫥🪑Labour’s leader woke up Prime Minister, but ended the day as something far sadder: a man technically still in charge, while everyone around him drives the car and wonders out loud whether he should even be allowed to hold the keys.

🚨 From Decider-in-Chief to “Guy We Had to Work Around”

If power is the ability to decide, then Sir Keir Starmer just dropped it like a hot Greggs pasty. Labour’s internal coup didn’t come with swords or slogans—just a quiet, devastating vote of no confidence disguised as a “procedural adjustment.” Cute!

Angela Rayner didn’t blink. Neither did half the Parliamentary Labour Party. While Keir was busy doing his best “Don’t worry, I’ve got this” impersonation, his own team yanked the decision-making rug out from under him and handed it to the Intelligence and Security Committee. Translation: we don’t even trust you to redact a document without screwing it up. 🫢📉

And here’s the kicker: this wasn’t a hostile takeover by the Tories or a trap sprung by the media. This was the Labour Party pulling an “intervention” on their own leader—and not even bothering to hide it.

The man who once promised “forensic leadership” just got outmaneuvered by his own deputy, outflanked by his MPs, and overshadowed by the very scandal he tried to smother. The only thing “forensic” now is the autopsy report on his authority. 🩺⚰️

🧨 Challenges 🧨

Is Starmer still leading Labour—or just renting office space at No.10 until someone changes the locks? Is this Mandelson saga just the excuse, or was the party already halfway out the door before this broke? Drop your hottest takes in the blog comments, not just the group chat. Let’s dissect the carcass of control.
