Tories secret weapon......

 

She was entertaining, that's for definite, but I'm not sure it was that comprehensive of a victory - she made a massive mistake on the UK testing which you shouldn't really do when you're prepping the questions yourself. Yeah Johnson said that the fuel allowance was per week when it's actually per year but you don't actually have to put that much pressure on him before details fall apart.

The energy was refresshing though and a great change from Starmer and Milliband who stood in before *shudders*

 

Not sure it matters Broncs, Starmer best of the bunch but to be fair they are all crap

 

Jess Phillips for me, the only one who can re-connect with Labours lost voters. Simply because she is the only one who can open her gob and speak honestly and with conviction.

Long-Bailey propped up by Momentum's Jon Lansman (Labour leader?), a guy who with one look at his coiffed hair, designer specs and floral shirts will send any cradle to grave northern Labour voter running away as fast as he/she can. Plus she makes Boris look honest.

Starmer, he's blown it right now! He may or may not end up Labour leader but he'll lose the next election, he cannot nail his colours to the mast, any colours or any mast, and that is what caused voters to not vote Tory at the election, but to vote not-Labour.

 

Is the question who we think will win or who we want to win?

 

he has as the NEC can not set date etc until there is a vacancy

 

Why is another failed Labour leader leading the inquest though?

 

Rayner will probably win the deputy contest, as she has the brown shirts behind too.

Wrong Daily and Rayner, Wrong Daily and Burgon. It doesn't really matter. It's the wilderness for another 10 year minimum. Infact it could even lead to the Labour party break up, as the left wing loon will really have taken over.

 

I know that Momentum is powerful but it's a long way from being the majority of LP members. And I also know that some Momentum members also want Starmer or Nandy as leader.
My problem with the last part of your post is that it's a leap in the dark. No one can be sure that a disintegration of the LP would necessarily lead to an effective realignment of the centre left. To be effective it would have to involve the Lib Dems and there's a lot of enmity and distrust that could scupper an effective realignment.
Also, I think the country needs more than just a return to Blairism, which is why I'm backing Starmer. He's the sensible centre left option who can unite the party, kick out the Trots and appealingly present some of the more radical measures that this country needs to recover from a decade (and counting) of disastrous Tory austerity, without all the baggage, image problems and incompetence of the Corbyn era.

 

I do not see anyone or party to challenge the dream ticket of Trump and Boris for years to come

 

The nightmare ticket for many.
I think Trump will get re-elected, astonishingly. He has totally trashed all semblence of political decency and checks & balances within the US system.
I think Johnson is a chancer. He's managed to climb the greasy pole by a combination of naked lying, switching sides at opportune moments, good luck at being in the right place at the right time to exploit Brexit, and useless opposition within his own party and Labour.
But Javid's resignation tells me there is still a shred of decency in our politics (unlike the US). I may be wrong but I think Johnson and the despicable worm Cummings may overreach themselves at some point. Johnson can be reckless and careless and it may bite him on the bum somewhere down the road.

 

Not a chance

Boris could take a dump on half of the posters in here and they would find a reason why its good for them and the country. The fact Javid resigned really shows how corrupt the system now is. The fact Johnsons cabinet now has 68% privately educated people in it. So much for getting rid of the elite.

But yeah the likes of Trevor and chums will tell us its all brilliant and he can do no wrong.

 

Thanks for biting and apologies i was trying to bait people but not you. Sorry about that.

The thing is im not an advocate of labour. And the point is that people wanted brexit and the tories to change the whole political system and blah blah blah yet he has just made it less representative of the population. Even this week the tories have said no to bradford being on the NP rail high speed network. Complete conmen.
