Labour is now set for a leadership challenge, with newly elected MP Andy Burnham, formerly mayor of Manchester, as the main challenger. Starmer's resignation may give rank-and-file Britons (many of whom are discovering the joys of American life during the World Cup) some whiplash, as Noa Hoffman pointed out on Monday's Coffee House Shots podcast:

I think a lot of people who are not in tune with the day-to-day ins and outs of Westminster politics are going to think, "What the h--l is going on?" I think that's actually going to reflect quite poorly on the Labour Party, because, as Tim said, there was no one major scandal or one major failure that really led to this resignation.

It was sort of a litany of errors, many of them unforced, but nowhere near to the extent of what sort of preceded the big resignations of a lot of Tory prime ministers, so no one is going to say Keir Starmer was doing a great, perhaps even good job, but was he literally the worst thing on earth, or so bad to the extent that everyone thought, given even given the volatile state that the world is in right now, the best thing to do is for you to stand down and bring in a man who nobody, apart from the people of Makerfield voted for, nobody in the general election voted Labour on the basis of Andy Banham leading the party and being a prime minister, and now he's promising all these big radical changes, unless he U-turns on them, as he has been doing frequently, without a mandate. So this is going to come as a shock to a lot of people, and I don't think Labour MPs really understand that.

She later said, "But I think the overall question that history will ask is, was that reason enough for him to go and bring on the next sort of big left-wing agenda that we're about to see that the public did not vote for, and I'm not sure the answer to that is necessarily yes."

This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison since the UK's parliamentary system doesn't exactly line up with the American democratic republic, but it feels like an echo of the Democrats replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. It's not clear yet how Labour's rank and file will take to Burnham's leadership and policies, so it may drive the country closer to a general election sooner rather than later...
