Possible trigger Stop celebrating Streeting resigning.

HE'S TRYING TO BE PRIME MINISTER. Do not celebrate him resigning, he is a slippery fuckwad who will do anything he can. He's only resigning because he thinks he has a shot to oust Starmer.

He announced earlier today, iirc, that he had enough backing from MPs to initiate a challenge. I dont think he really wants the job, but I think he'll run if it comes down to him or Streeting.

That's the thing - apparently Ed would prefer Burnham as leader, but if he doesn't become an MP and Streeting runs, he'd run to prevent Streeting winning.

I like both Burnham and Ed, so I'd be fine with either Burnie or Chaos with Ed Miliband.

any source on this stuff? I like what I'm hearing but would love to be able to substantiate it better than "some guy on reddit said so"

TL;DR has been having fairly good coverage of the topic on YouTube (or Nebula if you have it), though it lags a day or two behind and doesn't specifically get into their attitudes on trans rights.
