Few people in there saying there are rumours he is going to resign and not be leader for the general election.
Doubtful but would be a very strange situation.

Strange is an understatement.

Supposedly there must be a prime minister but we've never had one resign in the middle of an election campaign. The usual prerequisite, "can someone form a government?", depends on the electorate. Any current cabinet minister would have to say "it doesn't look like it, your majesty". Starmer would have to say "I expect so but could not presume to say yes".

Maybe the best precedent would be after the assassination of Spencer Perceval as it took the King the best part of four weeks to find someone to say yes to the main question. Or 1834 when the Duke of Wellington took on the role as caretaker PM while they found Robert Peel (he was touring Italy).

Cameron as caretaker under a Royal expectation not to do anything political, only affairs of state?

Would it Dowden as Deputy PM?

Is Giggsy still available?

Would it Dowden as Deputy PM?

No. I meant caretaker in the sense of taking care of important affairs of state not in the sense of janitor.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Would it Dowden as Deputy PM?

Fuck me that would be next level ranting incompetence
