I mean, who on the left can disagree with any of that?

Yes I agree. But apparently Starmer does not - he’s rowed back on basically every pledge.

Starmer is as much a bullshit merchant as any tory

Wasn't there a clip of him on LBC where Marr had him admit the 3 or 4 of them were not going to happen now?

I’m old enough to remember when mattiloy claimed to be done with this thread. Ah memories.

End of an error. 
 

Spaffers final PMQs was the expected shitshow. At least we don’t have to suffer through that again. 

He was having the time of his life the fucking sack of shit.

Reports that the Sunak camp appear to have done enough vote allocation to ensure Mordaunt is kept out of the final two, and confirm that he'll be facing off againat pork market Liz.

Great news for the opposition.

Truss genuinely seems less charismatic and more wooden than May which is some feat. 

I don't think Labour should be overly fearful of either, however the Tories having a BAME/ 3rd woman leader before Labour have had either is pretty mortifying.

I know Labour have more diverse MPs etc but most of the public don't care about that.

It's Sunak and Truss.

We could have said that back in March.

[Ozanne]

Oh my days. Truss could actually become the PM.

[steviewevie]

Bring Back Boris.

[steviewevie]

I guess Mordaunt was pretty boring, so this will be more fun.

[Ozanne]

This is the ideal result for Labour. 

[Punksnotdead]

Jesus wept. That smug c**t IDS is gloating about Truss getting on the ballot - I never thought I'd say this, but come on Rishi!

Apart from Braverman I would agree. If it was Tom v Penny I think labour would be worried, but this is pretty much the pair they would handpick.

At this moment when there are multiple crises going on, we go from Boris Johnson to Liz Truss.

Never thought I'd say this but bring back May and her funky dancing.

Brilliant. Truss to win. 

[squirrelarmy]

I’m making an early bet of a Truss & Spaffer affair hitting the headlines at some point 

[Crazyfool01]

How long do we give the next PM ? Was a few months out on Boris … but surely there’s enough shit on these guys to lurch them into another crisis pretty soon
