The hand over the face thumbnail nails it.

This might seem far fetched but I'm starting to wonder if Starmer will be leading Labour into the next election. I can see the Tories changing leader at least once before the next GE. There's massive disillusionment with both the main parties and many are under the misapprehension that Farage will save the day.

Also the Reform brand seems to be growing by the day. You could open up Reform hotels in seaside towns and they'd get booked up in no time.

100% agree. In fact I'd put money on the first to radically reform their leadership stands the best chance at challenging reform.

Starmer seems to be digging his own political grave, Badinoch, well no comment, one of my group chats have blown up with reform debate. And this is a 100% labour voting group and they're debating the merits of a one off anti establishment vote!!!

Scary times

Labour have too big a majority for Starmer to go he'd have to take real hammerings at locals and by-elections for it to be even considered. I also can't see a situation where the electoral math doesn'r lead to a left wing majority still.

ie. it would take a lot of data to convince me otherwise for starmer no matter how unpopular he is. Especially 4 years out.

 

[ncurd]

Just to be clear you need a partygate level of scandal to blow this kind of majority entirely.

Leave it out, her last words were 'Labour are for the working man' I heard that phrase since the age of 3 ffs.

Sad state of politics in Wales, Labour will win regardless because of a certain aged voter lol

Tories managed it hahaha

Your probably right, Starmer isn't going anywhere yet, he's a few more right wing speeches from Corbyn style back stabbing though

Yeah probably but I don't see him getting more than one more term (with a massively reduced majority) and he probably won't see that out - similar to Blair but one term less.

Personally I don't mind him and would rather have a safeish pair of hands than someone like Boris or Cameron but it's clear that his popularity is only going in one direction and four years is a very long time in politics with an increasingly fickle electorate who are expecting big improvements in very little time.

The thing is, he has a large majority in terms of seats but very little in terms of vote share. It won't take much of a swing to obliterate that majority.
