Sadly not. Apparently/allegedly, only 25 - 30% of them would vote for him if there were to be a leadership contest.

I totally agree.

Yes, it's one person, one vote. 405 Labour MPs. Circa 309,000 registered Labour members, allegedly; just under 80,000 Trade Union/Affiliates votes. That's about 389,000 votes if my figures are correct. Advise otherwise if not. So it comes down to 80% of the votes coming from party members.

I'm Apolitical, and may well be wrong, but I have a sense that Starmer will be gone by Tuesday evening. The Labour sharks are circling this weekend, hoping to be invited into Burnham's Frenzy. A Frenzy is a group of chaotic, active sharks feeding together on a food source. Seems appropriate!

Good afternoon Prem, I hope that you are well, and ready for all the "activity" that will take place in Westminster next week. These people call themselves Venture Capitalists. I prefer Vulture Capitalists, it is far more appropriate. Take great care, and with my warmest good wishes. Robert

Curse of private equity. PE has devoured retail, supermarkets, vets, care homes, healthcare. Now it is skateboarding in the US. Staff cuts, up to 90% wage cut, asset stripping, high debt, low investment, price hikes. PE has no long term interest. It devours and is expanding in the UK.

Private Equity Ripped the Heart Out of Skateboarding
Multiple buyouts and bankruptcies have ruined iconic brands and hollowed out skateboarding culture. It’s our financialized economy in miniature.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer. FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

Dumbing down the quality of debate to the level of the fascists only ever helps the fascists. The gullible will vote for the fascist originals while the more rational voters either splinter away to other parties or get turned off politics altogether.

So was Boris Johnson, until he realised, at the last minute, that Leave would give him the most political clout! A situation he took full advantage of.

Frustrated yes, but that is offset by voting out what was one of the worst governments ever that laid the groundwork for many ills now.
