Narrative analysis report — The 2026 UK Labour Party leadership crisis and succession: Keir Starmer's resignation as Labour leader and Prime Minister, Andy Burnham's Makerfield by-election and leadership bid, and the reactions of party factions, unions, opposition parties, media and the public.

Interactive edition — the grey codes (A01, C01…) open the provenance of each value: the definition of the statistic and its source documents. No sign-in required; external links open the original sources, which may have their own access conditions.

The vocabulary, defined

Six coded facets, used in one sense throughout. They are separate measurements with separate reliabilities: a figure computed on one facet never carries another facet's reliability.

frame: The value lens a sentence uses — how an issue is made to matter. Drawn ONLY from one frozen list of 15 tokens shared by every dossier (Economic, Policy, Political, Fairness, Legality, Capacity…), which is what makes frames comparable from one dossier to the next. A sentence may carry several, or none.
narrative: A named, contested story about who did what, entered in THIS dossier's registry; each narrative hangs off exactly one parent frame. Narratives are dossier-specific and are coined by the analysis; frames are not. A ranking of narratives and a ranking of frames are different measurements.
theme: The subject matter a sentence is ABOUT — emergent labels, not a controlled list. Orthogonal to frame, and never collapsed into it: two sentences can share a theme and mobilise opposite frames.
rhetoric (rhetorical device): The device the sentence uses to say it — metaphor, hyperbole, irony, loaded diction, a coined label, and so on. HOW it is phrased, never what it claims. The inventory is on trial and may be narrowed; an empty cell is a real value.
stance: The position a sentence takes toward a NAMED narrative: it advances it, contests it, or reports it. Always narrative-scoped — one sentence can advance one narrative and contest another, which is the signal the gap is built from.
impact (field of influence): The documented traces of transmission between actors: dated, evidence-bearing edges, the adoption of a signature phrase, and who carried a frame first. It is a record of what travelled, never a claim about what caused what — see the ladder below. Reach and audience response are not measured at all.

What the evidence can support — strongest first

Every statement about transmission sits on one of these rungs, and says which. The top rung is listed to be refused, not used.

demonstrated causal (not available from this data) — X caused Y. NEVER claimable from this data: nothing here measures outcomes, audiences or counterfactuals, so this rung exists only to be refused.
documented transmission — An evidenced, dated edge: this actor quoted, referenced or took up that actor's wording. The strongest thing the data supports.
temporal precedence — X used it first, Y followed. That is ORDER, not influence — the first documented carrier is not “the origin”.
association — Both are present in the corpus with no ordering established.
inferred — A reading of the pattern, carried as a reading and marked as such.

Coding coverage: 926^A05 sentences coded across 45^A06 of the corpus's 328^A01 documents (coder(s): Morphos machine coder v9). Coding statistics describe this sample, never the corpus as a whole.

Coding reliability (α per facet) Per-facet Krippendorff α of the machine coder, measured against the human gold slice of this report's language — a property of the instrument, carried as disclosure. It gates nothing; a facet below the 0.80 bar is marked tentative and must not be read as settled.

Facet	α	Reading
frame	0.5716^A1208	tentative (below bar)

Quoted sentences with no identified speaker: 182^A460. Quoted sentences whose named attribution is withheld by the privacy rail: 0^A461.

Sentence-grained attribution: a mixed-voice sentence counts on both sides, so a speaker's profile inherits some of the author's framing words and the outlet's profile inherits quoted fragments. Deterministic extraction of quoted spans is future work (span coding).

Typed, dated edges between actors and narratives, phrase-adoption chains, and decomposed impact profiles. Evidence discipline, per the transmission ladder above: temporal precedence documents ORDER, never influence and never causality — the first documented carrier is not “the origin”, and no probability of causality is computed.

Pioneer rank: heuristic adapted from meme tracking — peak usage of the unit, lead in days over the peak (threshold 2 d), rising usage after the document; median lag per group stored decomposed.

Impact profiles (decomposed, never aggregated)

Reach and received authority at document level: not computable on these inputs (no diffusion data, no citation graph) — structured NA fields, never invented zeros. The two halves of authority are never summed.
