Sir Keir Starmer has a catastrophic net favourability rating of -51, and one man is waiting on the Left-wing.
Britain has had enough of Sir Keir Starmer for a long time. Now, it would appear, so has the party he nominally leads.
Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein is credited with the maxim: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Quite what the brain box, who developed the theory of relativity, would make of this Labour Government is anyone’s guess.
But party members have finally cottoned on to the fact Sir Keir is about as effective as a chocolate teapot and, as unhappiness, discontent, and discord grow, are scratching around for a replacement.
The talent pool might resemble a puddle, yet one candidate has become a frontrunner.
Step forward failed leader and current net zero zealot Ed Miliband, who has made it his life’s work to tackle climate change by dumping loony diktats on households for the way we consume our overpriced energy.
How ironic that the very mention of his name reduces many to a cold sweat or gets people hot under the collar.

Soft Left Miliband – nicknamed Red Ed – was leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition between 2010 and 2015 after beating his centrist brother David in a run-off (or rather a trade union stitch-up).
His tenure was a disaster and noted for two things: His “Ed stone” – a list of election promises “carved in stone” – and his painful eating of a bacon sandwich. Ed for leader again? People said pigs might fly, but…
In a deeply depressing assessment of the dearth of talent occupying Labour, the Energy Secretary is the clear frontrunner to succeed Sir Keir when he is inevitably toppled by the lunatics who run the asylum.
Out in the real world, like Crowborough in East Sussex, where people will be forced to deal with the consequences of hundreds of undocumented young men being dumped on their doorstep, just 21% of Britons hold a favourable opinion of the Prime Minister, with 72% seeing him unfavourably.
Labour is haemorrhaging votes to the left – the Green Party and Liberal Democrats – leaving Sir Keir with a net favourability rating of -51 and the party looking for another useful idiot.
Miliband led Labour until he threw in the towel in 2015 after David Cameron won an unexpected majority, end five years of coalition with the Lib Dems.
Now it seems the party is prepared to do the same again, but expect a different result. That’s the warped logic of the left.
While Britain goes cold on Miliband’s net zero nonsense, which includes offering people bags of cash to install appallingly expensive heat pumps, doubling onshore wind, tripling solar power, and quadrupling offshore wind, the party is warming to the idea of him usurping Starmer.
One industry expert said: “The Average Joe doesn’t want a heat pump any more than they want an electric car. So Labour and Miliband can obsess over Net Zero all they want, but it’s just words.”
Starmer is a dead man walking, and the Labour centre-left will do anything to stop Wes Streeting filling his shoes.
But can you imagine life under Ed?
No? Well, he could very well be the next Labour leader and waltz straight into No 10 as Prime Minister in a frightening second coming.
And with the vultures circling, it could happen very soon.
