If Labour believes getting rid of Boris will lead them to number 10 under the guidance of let’s not prosecute Jimmy Saville, Keir was protecting all you know what hides in the shadows.
Why doesn’t he press Boris on the grooming gang reports? Keir is a chess piece that was put in place to protect members of the establishment.
I hear Corbyn looking to form a breakaway party taking sexy locks, Angela with him.
So Labour if you believe Boris is a wall you need to knock down to move forward, wake up and smell the coffee.
“I hear Corbyn looking to form a breakaway party”
Remotely possible but even Corbyn probably realises that it would condemn the people he purports to represent to perpetual Conservative rule.
“taking sexy locks, Angela with him.”
Simply won’t happen.
Rayner has always been “soft left,” she can work with Starmer, her star is in the ascendant, the vile misogynistic hate attacks on her are subsiding as more and more people start to realise that leaving school with more children than GCSEs but working hard to better herself in life is something to be admired, not the subject of elitist scorn.
Long way to go, but I predict a hung Parliament at the next election – the key thing being who will win most seats and how will the potential coalition parties react.
I’m not sure any of them will want to prop up yet another Conservative government, which would take them to 19 years in office.

I’d prefer it if they were shot, it’s a bit more humane.
I’m no great fan of any of them in any Party, tbh, Richard.
They range from, at best, controlling, patronising and condescending to, at worst, callous and corrupt, the inevitable outcome when any Party has been in power too long and has started to think they have what Charles I called “the divine right to rule.”
He was beheaded btw – any better?

Now you’re talking!
But on a serious note, I have to agree about them all largely being different sides of the same coin. I’ve never voted for either of the ‘big two’, the only difference is Labour might get my vote in future. Not that it matters, I live in deep Tory country and as such whoever else you vote for it goes in the bin.
“Not that it matters, I live in deep Tory country and as such whoever else you vote for it goes in the bin.”
I know that feeling only too well Richard. The last time we (the Scots) voted for a
Tory party was 1955. It makes no difference, we get a Tory government anyway
I get seriously bored with the all.politicians are rubbish corrupt and greedy stuff
My local mps have been diligent over the years and most well known, vince cable, lives at the end of my road in a semi. Yes hes not short of a little vanity but he could have earned way more money out of parliament
As for scotland. You have your parliament and perhaps they should sort out the worst health and drug problems in Europe before seriously blaming the tories for everything
Give us a wave from the Landau at Ascot, won’t you Clivex!
I’ll be watching in Wetherspoons; incidentally they never put the sound on.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways“hes not short of a little vanity but he could have earned way more money out of parliament”
A ringing endorsement if ever I read one!

It would probably be advantageous if they mute the customers too
Do pubs have that facility?
Someone was trying to tell me yesterday I ought to “support” my local pub.
Apart from the facts: I don’t drink, don’t like pub food and don’t like people – especially the “talk AT you” billynomates types who prop up bars – I just thought: “why?”
Bizarre how businesses suddenly bang on about “civic duty” when the ruthless economic forces of supply and demand they love so much aren’t working in their favour anymore.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"It’s like when long standing businesses go under (Woolworths was a good example). Everyone falls over themselves to tell us how sad it is that it’s closing down.
‘When did you last shop there?’
‘No idea’
On the subject of pubs – and this may be more appropriate for the Room 101 thread – why do some people (usually old men) insist on standing at the bar to drink when there are lots of tables available? Very irritating when they are blocking the view of what beers are on offer. Two numpties are doing at now in my local Wetherspoons (look away Clive).
I hate that as well, Cork. Especially when the blokes at the bar are invariably 20 stone lardarses and it takes ten minutes to circumnavigate them.
I’m with ian on this
And on the rare occasions I am obliged to go to a pub I find myself thinking, wtf am I doing here?
Maybe it’s a london thing but it all seems a bit old that. When someone wants to network through by business and says “let’s have a few beers!” I look at them as if they are mad. Just doesn’t happen these days
Stopping fat, smelly old men (quite agree, it always is, usually start sentences with ‘I’m not racist but…’) standing at the bar is one covid restriction I’d happily sign into law forever.
I don’t even go to pubs half as much as I used to but I still like to avoid the stench of BO and pork scratchings when ordering a drink.
Pubs provide a valuable social service as refuges for the lost and lonely – the solitary man’s sanctuary; hence, although I too find bar-proppers and the sad-eyed pub bores who insist on engaging in unsolicited earache rather annoying I do try to humour them until retreating to a safe distance: sorrow felt rather than dislike
Remember folks: there but for the grace of whoever, go you and I
Those of us who tend towards introversion and asociality, for whom introspection and solitude are preferable are lucky indeed: I like but don’t NEED other people
Given the cavernous nature of most Wetherspoons, a quiet corner out of little-englander earshot and big-bellied eyesore is easy-peasy
