Quite interesting insight
Half the electorate probably think that getting rid of Starmer = General Election and forget how many Tory PMs were âunelectedâ.
Everyone who wants Starmer out in an opinion polll should be asked a supplementary question of who they think in the Labour party will succeed him? Anyone who cannot give an answer shouldnât be counted.

This. So much this.
And anyone who says âAngela Rayner, with Ed Milliband as chancellorâ should read todayâs Observer where âa senior figureâ is quoted as saying
âŚThe thought of [Milliband] at the Treasury is already making Labour-supporting business leaders nervous ⌠Angela would definitely end [pro-business centrism] ⌠Rayner/Milliband would be a nightmare for the economy and for Labourâs prospects âŚ
Everyone makes mistakes. Whatâs not cool is repeating them. Particularly Liz Trussâs tanking of the economy.
I would actually like either Raynor or Miliband as leader, while retaining Rachel Reeves as chancellor.
I never understand why we have a policy of complete change, and everyone has to think the same. Letâs have conflict and compromise. Letâs have a leader who wants to do everything, and a chancellor who reins them in. Worked with Blair-Brown.
Our has never made sense to me that having dissent in a party implies a weak leader - I would have thought the opposite. A strong leader is one who can bring together a broad church, and appointing a chancellor with a very different vision would seem a good start there.
The difference is that the Tories will normally (The ERG and Brexit was an exception) shelve all their differences to stay in power. Loyalty rules.
The Labour party shelve their differences to win an election, and then retreat into their deluded factions with no loyalty at all and wonder why the public get pissed off with them.

How about just getting the job done ? I donât want my taxes spent on paintballing (or worse) between factions in Whitehall. Thrash the policy out then execute it. Theyâre the Executive. The clue is in the name.

My first question is how the fcuk do you get to Peckham on the tube?
I know someone who quite regularly sends me these videos about how awful London is. Another guy (who I donât think has been in the UK for 20 years) confidently messaged me that âLondon has fallenâ because heâd heard it on Joe Rogan or some other fuck-knuckleâs podcast.
And the weird thing is they wonât back down when I point out theyâre talking a load of tosh. Whatever the influencer said trumps the lived experience of 10 million people.
I see that Reformâs mayoral candidate for next year is running on a âLondon is a shitholeâ platform too. Weâll see how that goes.
Last word: bring on the âhalal shopsâ. The halal butcher in West Norwood has the best range of spices and sauces in south London. Itâs breathtaking, nothing too niche for that guy

The issue here has been McSweeney & Mandelsonâs âLabour Togetherâ project with Starmer being its almost unwitting front man/fall guy. If Labour is ever again going to be trustworthy it needs to root out all of the other protagonists in the movement many of whom form Starmerâs cabinet.
Thatâs an album cover. Bang on! Nicked and shared- notably shared with someone that advised me to vote Reform PlcâŚ
Official. Anas Sarwar is a cunt.

Thereâs been some talk on this for a while. A NL extension (another one).
One day, maybe, when the funding happens

I think that when the tube network was designed they employed Black Cab drivers as consultants, which is why it doesnât really go south of the river.

What the fuck is a Peckham? We have none of those round here!

Agreed but if not him some one would have been put up for it.
If the Labour dissidents had any sense (which they havenât) they would shut up and let Starmer stay as PM until the May elections and let him take the hit for the poor performance, then the new leader would start with a clean slate.
Although with a rabid press looking for a bloodbath, and opinion polls calling for Starmerâs head, he probably wonât last until the end of the week.
Then Labour can tear themselves apart again trying to find a new leader.
