Year Keir Starmer replaced as Labour Leader Rules

MARKET INFORMATION

For further information please see Rules & Regs.


When will Keir Starmer be permanently replaced as Labour Party leader? We will settle this market on the date the Labour Party officially announce their new Permanent Party Leader after Keir Starmer. Temporary/interim leaders do not count. If a temporary/interim leader is appointed we will wait until the date of the announcement of the Permanent Leader before settling. This market will be void if the Party Leader dies while in office. If the Party Leader is unable to fulfil his/her role due to health reasons and is therefore permanently replaced this market will be void


Given that even if he resigned today and temporary replacements don't count.
IMHO, it's almost a zero chance that labour would just announce a permanent replacement without some sort
of internal election process. This would take weeks, Therefore I've been laying 2025.

And I'm tempted to start laying 2026 at it's current odds on as a trade into January or February.

No.

There is a precedent: unopposed succession with emergency procedures: If Starmer resigned tomorrow and the NEC invoked emergency rules allowing an unopposed candidate to be "announced" immediately without going through the full membership ballot.

Gordon Brown succeeded Blair in 2007 unopposed, it took around a month. Way too much uncertainty around this to be laying over 10.0 but it is your funeral....

More likely Badenoch to be replace it seems. One loathsome cretin has been backed in, Katie Lam. There wasn’t much publicity that I saw for her calls for ‘repatriation’ of settled families in the UK who had already been given citizenship.

Unbelievably she herself is the descendant of immigrants who fled the nazis pre war, some of her family not so lucky ended up in Auschwitz.

As far as I remember it came out years later that Blair, Brown and Prescott brokered and signed a behind the scenes
deal in 1994 which gave Brown the chancellor job and leader succession rights in exchange for not challenging Blair for
leadership, and Prescott got a "seat on the board" as the Unions representative in exchange for the big unions agreeing
and going along with the plan.

Maybe there is a pre agreed succession, but Rayner's dethroning and lengthy replacement process could be interpreted
as a sign there is no such behind the scenes deal as per Blair, Brown & Prescott.


Who knows, anything can happen.

G'luck.

Perhaps but all the weird crap going on behind the scenes with Mcsweeney makes me extremely nervous about laying big cash here.

I have heard that the powers-that-be want a Streeting coronation. That may be a fantasy but its coming from fairly sober political/journo types.

Perhaps, history doesn't repeat, it rhymes.

But all the weird crap you hear in the news about Morgan McSweeney makes me wonder if there isn't some kind of planned succession of Wes Streeting going on.

That might be pure fantasy, I'm not a Westminster insider. But that is coming from normally sober people who are Westminster insiders.

We know the budget is going to be toxic, but not how toxic.

However, the sequence of events that would lead to a new permanent PM being in place before Xmas is a very long shot. Certainly longer than the current odds.

Even if Rachel from accounts is forced to jump, Starmer will retain the nominal support of sly, itv and auntie. Which is why I could not even back next year on this market. It's quite possible he will be propped up, albeit he's already mortally wounded, before the budget.

He's not going to resign before his first big budget on the 26th November.

How long did Truss last after her disastrous "Fiscal Event"?
She couldn't even call it a budget because she refused to let the Office of Budget Responsibility check it
added up.

If the labour MP's vote to pass the budget on the 26th, then two weeks minimum before he resigns after that.
Who knows, the markets might even like the budget.

Somebody was keen, lol.

Note, in rules meerkat void if ill health causes replacement...


When will Keir Starmer be officially and permanently replaced as Labour Party leader? We will settle this market on the date the Labour Party officially announce their new Permanent Party Leader after Keir Starmer. If Starmer is replaced before April 1st 00:00 2026 GMT this market will be settled as yes. Temporary/interim leaders do not count. If a temporary/interim leader is appointed we will wait until the date of the announcement of the Permanent Leader before settling. This market will be void if the Party Leader dies while in office. If the Party Leader is unable to fulfil his/her role due to health reasons and is therefore permanently replaced this market will be void

1 April is pretty tight if he resigned today!

Sets out current rules for new leader of labour party
in event of vacancy and also in event of challenge.

There are links in that article to Labour procedures
as they stand.

Of course any timetables would only be set out should they
be required.

Dunno, in absence of Andy Burnham who would surely
be favourite, the market will look to find anybody
that support may coalesce around.

Former leaders may become caretakers, but market
rules need to be consulted.

I'd expect if starmer was to stand down then
a seat would be found for Burnham, there is already
an offer, and he would not be prevented from standing
despite cost of mayoral election.

But, anything might happen

Next Labour leader



Ever optimistic from whoever frames the markets.

Next Labour leader seen a bit of action with Rayner, Milipede, and Burnham seemingly
attracting support. With 20% required it's going to be difficult
to get more than 3 candidates,... Not that I think those 3
are locked.

Streeting obviously fancies a crack at it, and shabana has been
one of the ministers to actually perform well in da house.

And a compromise candidate may yet emerge

Not really a trader inner-outer unless I'm backing something early doors purely because I know the price will drop.


But I'm tempted into backing Miliband here. Those around him have huge question marks, he's one who could come in to offer a bit of a clean break. If the MPs are determined to get rid of Starmer but unsure of who can take the lead afterwards, I reckon he's the best of the rest and is at a decent and backable price.

Was Milliband not the one who made the 8mpassioned speech in a late night commons debate about the death toll which would ensue were we to step in in Syria?  His woke, wet, wimp diatribe swayed the house, the vote went down and we did nothing.  Absolutely nothing - allowing Putin a free hand in assisting Assad to brutalise, torture and murder masses of his people.
Heaven help us if he gets the job.  A born appeaser and loser imo.
