Yeah Rudd probably wouldn't win, but she might want to put herself in this time to canvass support for the next time around after May's replacement loses the next election.

Both parties are in a precarious position and want diametrically opposed things. It's that simple. They can not work together long term, because eventually both parties will have to serve their central interests or collapse. When that point comes, one side or the other is destroyed. The end.

What's so diametrically opposed about them? I'm in a DUP constituency. They're ultra-conservative theocratic fucks. Seems like exactly the people the Tories would love to jump on board with.

Johnson, probably Rudd. There's a rogue's gallery of misfits and weirdoes (Fox, Gove, Leadsom) who had a go last time and might be tempted again. Maybe Hammond. They're severely lacking in talent though, it's stunning how mediocre the top of the party is.
I'd support Liz Truss for a Red Cheese and Hedgehogs Brexit.

Has anybody done the calculations on how the English Votes for English Laws is going to impact the tories in the commons? Obviously some of the Lab gains are in scotland too
They gained 3 seats more than Labour + the LDs combined which is to say they are affected slightly more on English legislation. DUP also won't be able to help them there, although I think the tories have England in the bag still? So tired I can't work it all out clearly.

Yes. They had an interview with him overnight about his desire to get back into politics to "protect" Brexit.

As always, all we can hope is that this latest embarrassment makes people finally stop paying attention to them.

edit: Unfortunately the fact that the BBC still haven't cut away from Nuttall's ranting doesn't speak well to that.

Can't remember who called him it first, think it might have been hbomberguy.

Bambos Charalambous is on the right of the party but he's a decent enough bloke, been standing for Labour in Enfield Southgate since Twigg lost it I think. My impression is that he knows drat well it's the Corb effect enthusiasm that's finally got him over the line and he probably won't be joining any awkward squads.

I'm more interested in the DUP wanting a soft Brexit going with Ms. NoDealBetterThanBadDeal.

Between that and say a few byelections and probably enjoy your next election in 2 or so years.

In a word, brexit. If the CTA is kept but involves much tighter border controls in northern irish ports and airports as the EU border, the DUP will not like NI being regarded as de facto part of the RoI. There could be a backbench rebellion about the bill or some aspect of migration or any number of things.

Corbyn's unexpectedly small margin of defeat should probably silence most of his Labour critics, victory has a hundred fathers and all that. Although to be sure there will be both some hardline neoliberals on the right as well as tankie dead-enders to the left who will refuse to see reason.

If the result is a Labour loss in the general election then the people who have spent two years insisting Corbyn-led Labour would lose a general election will have been proven right, obviously.


Really, I think that'd be self-evident to even the most fanatical Corbyn supporters.
lmao

Corbyn is terrible, his whackadoo leftism will lose so hard even the most deluded will see reason and come back to the center. Eh, what's that, he massively overperformed? His pragmatic centrism won the day obviously, just as I predicted.
