This is the third consecutive Scottish Parliament where there’s been a pro-Indy majority so it’s not really a new thing; it’s bigger than the one there was last week but not by very much

I refuse to believe Starmer is nobbing his coworker, it’s too normal and human and relatable

Poor old Kieth. Every time he gets the cabinet together for a big old discussion about policy he locks eyes with Jenny Chapman across the room and has to send the rest of them outside while the two of them go at it on the big table like rutting hogs. No wonder he's not got anything done in the past year.

It feels like in politics you can't follow one popular leader with another. After the bloodstained corpse of the last one has been dragged off, you need a human dishcloth to swab away the bloodstains. Starmer's purpose is to be the carriage return in the list of Labour party leaders. Who comes next will really define what Labour is to be for the next election.

Still might rejoin, a month or two isn't going to cost me much and I've had two days now of good wholesome chuckles In previous leadership elections, for instance the last one, there was a period of time after the election was called that people could join in and still vote. Will that happen again if there’s another contest now? There’s no way to guarantee it.

Torn between the breakdown the Tories had when May was in charge, on this ongoing trainwreck as being the funniest. The former was good in seeing the Tories eat poo poo, but this is enjoyable in sheer spite.

Absolutely agree that now is the best time to rejoin Labour and won't be spun as "Actually the influx of new members is proof that Starmer's winning people over!"

I don’t think anyone would seriously be convinced by that. Were people und er the impression that an influx of members after the 2019 election was good for the Corbynite left?

Eligibility for a leadership election is determined by the NEC, which Starmer still doesn't fully control (especially without the DLOC vote). But the best move is to join an affliated union, yea.

Corbyn was clearly on the way out. A lot's happening, but it very much seems like Starmer's going to hang in there at the moment.

I'm half convinced that the reason that Journo started tweeting affair rumours was because they're bored waiting for the London Mayoral results. If we don't get them soon, we're going to end up hearing lurid sex tales about Keith or something worse. Please, hurry up and release the results!

I'm probably the same in that case It's only £4.42/month, I think Comrade Fakename is right & seems worth re-joining just in case we get a chance to further enrage the right
