Sums them up  if Starmer gets the gangsters out he will have earned his place in history. The basic first do no harm principle would make him 100% better than what we have and if he has some actual policies that would be a bonus.

A decent Labour leader would've had Johnson by the short and curlies long ago. 

He's useless. 

I would prefer Raynor.

Starmer is a bit ponderous and often allows his thoughtful style of speaking to lose the message coming over.  You see it in interviews that the key points he's trying to make are interupted by the interviewer.  Get to the point quickly and make sure you get it over.  He falls down there.  Rayner is better at it but is too 'common' to appeal to enough of the electorate.  Not an election winner.  Yvette Cooper is the one to take them on.  More professional image and has already been in government.

Is this for real?

They were the ones who shouted loud and long for the Durham police to reopen their investigation. They were the ones who wasted police time in their pathetic attempt to deflect from their corrupt and self serving hero.

James O'Brien nailed it.

 

Starmer as an ex DPP only offered to resign if served with a FNP because he would have forensically studied the law and knew there was no chance legally he would get one.

 

It only got as far as it did by the continued gaslighting of elements of the press and their cultists.

I think that the Conservative party should be very concerned about Johnson. He seems to think that he is the Conservative party, rather like his mate Trump thinks he is the Republican party. 
I wouldn’t put it past him to be planning to take measures that would nobble his successor, if they don’t get him out of No10 sharpish. He said he wouldn’t deviate from the Tory manifesto of the last election. That leaves him able to authorise policies, like big cuts in taxation, that would plunge the UK economy into more debt whilst boosting his popularity with the beneficiaries. 
He, like Trump, could be thinking in his own mind that he can make a comeback either sooner or later. Remember, he hasn’t resigned yet as PM, only Conservative leader.

I'd imagine the arses of those who put him in power (no, not yer common-or-garden voter, but the same shady characters that helped raise Brexit as an issue and then convince the public they needed it) are currently going 5p/50p and are in discussions with JRM on potential ways to keep BJ in power beyond September through obscure parliamentary loopholes.

Sadly, I think this is correct. Rees Mogg and company would launch an actual coup if they thought they would get away with it. 

I keep wondering how low we can stoop and the Tories keep digging deeper.

Which is why Bunter should have been launched out of No10 on Friday

That they can't or won't see it is a worry in itself.

I'm still surprised he even 'resigned'.

I'd think, knowing the arrogance of him, it would have been carefully worded so to, in his mind, save face, I'd honestly think it'll have been firmly agreed that he is going and he'll have resigned..........hopefully.

That's the thing. He hasn't. They're still deluding themselves he's resigned. Meanwhile he's on operations until October. 

It's disgraceful.

Cooper is a great orator and her performances at the Despatch Box have been extremely impressive. She has destroyed whatever member of the Junta has stood opposite her on the floor of the House and on the select Committees she has been on. She would be my No.1 choice for the Starmer replacement.

People's favourite decides not to run.

 

Smarter than I thought he was because whoever goes in is inheriting an utter shitshow and a forthcoming economic apocalypse.

Tory member that got it investigated. Tory student provided the video of them drinking.  

 

Should go after him and the newspaper that fought ferociously for Police to investigate.

I'd imagine he'll be keeping very quiet or he might need to explain his unscheduled 3 month absence from Westminster earlier this year. 🤔

Any chance Boris Johnson will throw his hat in the ring?
He desperately needs the eventual COVID enquiry to conclude he got the big decisions right

Ha Ha this can't be true surely?!

Apparently this is why he explicitly didn't resign though 😅

He'd never get past the MP vote though so must just be trolling or hellbent on destroying the Tory party which to be fair I'm all for

I see The Daily Heil just published a story in the last few minutes on this. Looks like it’s BS hopefully. The sooner that squatting POS is out the door the better.

I think Labour recognise that the UK is far too right wing to elect a left of centre prime minister now a days it is a shame though because look at the mess the right have made of things for the last twenty years ................... Scotland is generally more left wing and I think that is shown in the way the Labour party has lost a lot of support up here well that and the independence question any way

I am not sure that a left of centre PM has been elected in my lifetime. I wasn't around for Clem Attlee. In today's terms Harold Macmillan might almost qualify.

He had a reputation as left of centre in Labour terms in Attlee's days but by 1964 he had moved towards the centre and there was not much that was Left about his Administration. Pragmatist and modernist (the white heat of technology and all that) and good on social issues - legalising homosexuality and such. But not much socialism.

Actually yeah, I was probably thinking more in todays context but in that era, you're right, he wouldn't have been considered on the left within the Labour Party

He will never stop looking for an angle to stay in power.

 

Fortunately for the UK the Tories aren't quite as far gone as the US GOP. At least not yet.

The 1922 Committee rules do not allow someone who has resigned the party  leadership to then stand in the resulting leadership  election. 

Confirmed by several journalists today.

Cheers. Not sure if I’m reassured given that this POS illegally prorogued Parliament which is just about the most colossal rule you can break and hope to get away with it.

The irony being he could try and get his placemen elected to the 1922C , change the rules and then stand for election. But Bridgen and his erg cronies will derail that because he is definitely standing in order to get the power to change the rules in order to oust BJ. Or he was. I'm not sure where we are now that BJ has resigned but not resigned.

She gave a TV interview a couple of weeks ago which provided a very revealing insight into Spaffer’s personality (and hers!). She was very critical of him but also full of praise and admiration in equal measure, despite their ‘failed’ relationship. You got the distinct impression that despite his colossal personality flaws and his (mis)treatment of her, she would hitch up again with the Cad in a heartbeat.

 

Absolutely bats**t mental and I’m convinced Spaffer is some sort of personality kidnapper that leaves his victims suffering an unidentified strain of Stockholm syndrome.

😃  Good analogy.!!      Yes, everything about him is unique - and it seems to mesmerise posh young ladies into dropping their knickers for him..    Not sure if Svengali  is  an appropriate  analogy  for his "je ne sais quoi" powers in the bedroom department .... maybe Rasputin would be more accurate !! 😲

 

He's apparently spawned 6 or 7 mini-spaffers - which should be worrying in itself.   The photo from Thursday of him holding young Wilf after his speech was a bit freaky - the lad has long   unkempt hair, much like Daddy.    Puts me in mind of the film "The Boys from Brasil", or perhaps "Damien"  :omg:

He was investigated in 2020 by the NCA and cleared. Is this a new one ?

I think this is different.  The NCA cleared him of whatever he was accused of then,  but this new thing relating to an offshore family trust was raised before he was appointed chancellor, and remains unanswered... other than assurances from him that it's all fine obviously. There was no offshore family trust,  and if there was,  all rules were followed...

I think i saw a follow up from Petronella Wyatt saying that she was joking - but I could be mistaken. She is unhinged. Don't forget that she carried two of his children, albeit for a shorter period of time than is conventional. Whether she thinks that posting that shite will harm him or is just a prank, only she knows. 

 

Her sister,  Citronella, is far more reliable. No flies on her!
