Reform romped it in that part of the world in the locals. He'd win easy.

Plus, who ever sees their local MP?

I see Rebecca Long Bailey all the time - she gets very involved with anything going on.  If you need her help she listens. Always at local community events 

 

Probably why she smashes it every time there is an election

Bit further out from London than he probably planned on going -  but if there was a Clacton Bi-election -   I wonder if Zach Polanski might run

Not a chance. He'd want to be somewhere he'd know he'd win.

He'll stand in Hackney.

There's allegations Farage took another million from the same bloke in 2022 and Labour are asking who paid for his recent helicopter tour. Even if he gets off on a technicality this will hang around him.

[steviewevie]

This is a pretty good explanation of the problem we have

 

[steviewevie]

I wonder if how markets react will help determine who becomes next leader.

Why am I unhappy? Foreigners! Why am I poor? Foreigners! Who don't I have the job I want? Foreigners!
 

Who needs complex solutions to problems when you can easily pin them all on someone!

I'll start because I know you're obviously all having a serious think about this.

 

I am going out on a wing and going for 8. Some other mug (Healey/Philipson/Jones/Al f**king Carns)

Streeting if he goes now.

Burnham, if Streeting loses his nerve.

 

And then replaced by another PM before the next election when they fail to connect with voters plus, ya know, crap economy.

Too many ifs. I want one choice.

Burnham then.

Thinking again, I don't think Streeting has enough support and he also exposes himself to the risk that the Burnham camp vote tactically for Starmer.

Going back to some previous posts about Reform voters...I guess the Great Unwashed are actually the Working Class who various people on the left keep banging on about that Labour need to appeal to?

Or are they just the wrong sort of Working Class? The unwashed ones? The ones we like to look down on?

I mean..it's that sort of snobbery and patronising shite that lead to things like brexit in the first place, right? Liberal metropolitan elites and all that.

The two I've seen mentioned are West Lancershire where the MP has cancer or Bootle though neither are in Greater Manchester

I'm clinging to the hope that the delay is to fix the NEC vote rather than that he hasn't got a seat

As it stands No 1 Starmer. The soft left coup has been hijacked by Streeting so they will have to vote to keep Starmer and replace him later.
