For Rees Mogg to say they should bring back Boris Johnson conclusively demonstrates that he's learnt nothing - absolutely nothing at all. Shameless and grasping to the last, like some hideous Dickensian caricature. He, Johnson and the rest of them have done immense harm to this country.
-
They need to stop MPs from having 2nd jobs. Being an MP is a full time job.
-
WE need to stop expecting that the electorate needs to love parliamentary parties. We aren't marrying them. Their job is to govern us, to think about us and what we need to live our best lives and to flourish. There's been too much time spent where the people are stagnating while the govt fights with itself and leaves the country drifting into decline. Get your focus correct. And stop continuing to focus on the tories with/without farage. They are fish n chip paper and irrelevant for the next 5 yrs at least.

Has Alastair Campbell slept in the past 36 hours?
-
It’s getting rediculous . Labour are being asked to apologise for winning .
-
Great point by Campbell about Farage. The only way to beat him is by solving problems so he has no leg to stand on. He’s a problem creator not a problem solver.

Interesting landslide 2017: 40% 12.8m votes 2019: 32% 10.2m votes 2024: 34% 9.6m votes

Boris Johnson is chocolate teapot
-
Boris didn't even want to do the job the 1st time, let alone a 2nd time.
-
Love listening to Alastair Campbell talk politics.

It's really quite simple. Labour have got 5 years before they have to worry about another election. In that time, they have to make people believe that things that they care about are improving. If the cost-of-living crisis has ceased, NHS waiting lists have significantly shortened and the public sector strikes have ended, then they will have a very good chance of being re-elected. If not, then they are going to face a populist backlash.
-
Landslide in parliamentary representation but no landslide among the people.
-
They had a lot of "viable" alternatives, Alister. They had Reform, they had Greens, they had Lib Dems and in the end Labour captured less total votes than in 2019. So your argument that you were more viable this time round goes where exactly?
-
It means that 57% of the vote controls almost the entire parliament (Labour and the Tories) while the other 43% of votes is almost not represented at all.
-
Starmer won 9,712,011 votes In 1997 John Major won 9,591,085 votes in the catastrophic Conservative defeat. When the population was a lot lower.
-
Did they say Jeremy Hunt? Boris? Badenock?? Ate yiu fucking kidding me?????
-
Ali sounds like he's been on the hooch
-
Jeremy Hunt you have to be Joking. He would be the Worst Choice since Sunak. Everyone was Hoping He Lost His Seat.
-
So you get 30% of the vote and two thirds of the seats, that is not a landslide vote from the public
-
The value of the £ has gone up already, we'll never get back any of the 100's of billions we've lost since brexit but at least it's going in the right direction again now.
