@BestIsWest I won't be happy either. I'll look at what she has to say but I think it's the wrong decision

I was depressed that all the comments on FB seemed to agree with her too @grannycake

I was thinking yesterday that you hadn't posted here for a while. So sorry about your DH 💐

I would only vote for a Streeting led Labour party to keep Reform out. I can't stand him. He is a nasty piece of work.

I'm so disappointed in how Starmer turned out but surely they must have learn from the last Tory government that chopping and changing PMs isn't the solution. They can't ever show any solidarity.

So, so sorry - life is truly shit - 💐

Will lead to a never ending clamour for a GE "X or Y have no mandate" sort of thing.

@BIossomtoes & @Evenstar So sorry to hear this news, puts everything into perspective

We are going to need that new thread soon @DuncinToffee !

Exactly @Alexandra2001 and it will lead to Reform taking it as another victory for them.

You asked Temperance

Thanks BIWI

@Evenstar, sending you love and hugs.

Thank you @DuncinToffee and @BIWI ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear about your DH as well, @Evenstar.

@PolitePombear

Politely, takes those pompoms and stick them where the sun don't shine whilst kissing Nige's ring

I'd have thought Labour would have realised by now that whoever is their leader, the media will turn on him/her.

My advice (not that he'd ever seek it or take it) would be fight any challenge, be far more decisive (stop seeking bloody consensus all the time.. LEAD!!) and bring fwd the manifesto promises.

e.g Falmouth Dockyard has just lost a refit contract to the David Attenborough ship, gone to a Danish yard, due to rules introduced under Sunak.... Govt says they will revoke these 'rules..... but why the heck, after 2 years, are these rules still in place???

In some ways I agree @Alexandra2001 . He has bugger all to lose by staying on, really. Stay on, be bold, deliver the manifesto.

In reality, Labour is just going to tear itself apart, I think. I hope I am wrong though.

We will see what happens.

Mahmood and Streeting don't exactly fill me with confidence.

Nor me.

Plus there is the little matter of Streeting's tiny majority. I think that says a lot about how popular he would be as PM.

Is it me or is Badeoch very quiet atm?

We should have the meet up in the parliament bar and invite Starmer, he is not going to ignore the advice of smelly cat loving lefties

I don't know about Badenoch but Reform have the best pot hole filling machine, ever

Yes! We could sit him down and talk some sense into him.

And

That

is
