God help us all. It looks like Labour's going to lurch to the Bolshy Left, with Burnham on the rampage, and Stammer becoming increasingly disillusional, we're in for a s**t***w of Truss proportions.

Assuming that Burnham challenges and wins, which is by no means certain, I suspect he will believe his own invincibility and try a snap GE so he gets 5 years rather than 3. At this point, I think reality will bite as he sees the Labour majority heavily reduced, or even overturned.

We live in interesting times!

We definitely live in interesting times! I'm imagining Nigel Farage is rubbing his hands in glee.

I'm not so sure, Lex. Reform isn't really ready to run the country as yet, and I think Farage knows it.

One scenario could be that Labour deliberately lets Reform in knowing they would struggle, then after a few years of failure (because the first few years of undoing the crap that is in place will be difficult), make a comeback, crowing about things.

Could be the case, Rebbonk.

Stammer's on his way out, and this country's going to sink further into the **** with Burnham looking like he's going to take over: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckger03mrl0t

I hope that we don't see a Burnham coronation. I want to see a real dirty scrap for the top job so the electorate can see just what a pile of excrement the PLP really is.

Also, whilst they're scrapping amongst themselves, they're not doing too much damage to the country, not to mention using up valuable time before they are obliged to hold a GE.

I really despise this pathetic and incompetent sixth-form debating society that calls itself a UK government with a mandate!
