Kier Saherma's catastrophic premiership is in its death rows. He is finished, politically speaking, The Walking Dead. But you know what? There's every chance he's going to get replaced by ultra-blerite health secretary, West Streeting. And I'm going to surprise you when I say that a large part of me thinks, good. Let the whole thing just burn to the ground. Now, I know it gets a bit more complicated

given the threat of reform. Let's talk about this. A little recap, Labour got battered in the local

is Andy Burnham, but he's not in Parliament and Stama's faction stopped him from being able

to return in the Gorton-Denton by-election where the Green stormed to victory. The former deputy

leader Angela Rainer, meanwhile, was sunk over a stamp duty scandal and waiting of the

wings is West Streeting. He was plotted to be prime minister since he was probably about four years

old. Andy Burnham's people have hatched a plan to get him back into Parliament, believing the

existential crisis. Labour is now in. We'll concentrate minds on the party's National Executive

Committee to let him stand when another

Labour MP decides to stand down in order to let Andy Burnham stand in their place to get back

into the House of Commons. The National Executive Committee has to approve that. Last time,
