His ministerial position is gone. He needs to lose any bid to be PM. And it would be delightful if he also lost the Whip. One #TERF down, one to go.

He’s very pointedly not launched a challenge. Which presumably means either that (1) he’s not got the numbers or (2) he’s got the numbers but doesn’t want to be seen to be the one wielding the knife?

You'd think the question of popularity with the membership would be important but aiui only the PLP has a say.
Does the PLP think fewer of them will lose their seats in '29? That will be what determines the outcome. Maybe Rayner will have a go too.
I would guess most would prefer Burnham but as that's not an option right now do they support Starmer to dump him later or risk putting Streeting/Rayner in what could become an unassailable position?
