The honeymoon is well and truly over. I can't see him lasting four years as their leader.
It is only recently that leaders have been regularly murdered from within their own party. I'm hoping that this Government does not follow the previous administration's lead.

I could be wrong and it may have changed but I don’t think Labour has a mechanism for removing/changing a sitting leader while that leader is prime minister. Such talk is for the birds anyway three months after an election. He’ll still be PM at the next election barring a resignation.

Labour does have mechanisms for removing a leader but it is not as simple as in the Conservative party. There were rumblings of removing Gordon Brown but no one wanted to be seen signing their lives away. Obviously he may resign if the heat really does get turned right up but I think that is unlikely and agree he will be there at the next election.
A lot of hard choices to be made between now and then though. Nurses have just made it a little more difficult rejecting the pay offer but after witnessing the junior doctor offer and the bloody train drivers I wasn't surprised. What does the Government do? If the Nurses get a well deserved raise, especially when you see how much the nurses in Scotland have received then the rest of the public sector will be clamoring for similar. Then that hole gets just a whole lot bigger.
 
Remember this at the 2026 Senedd elections. And don’t be tempted by the Reform scumbags.
 
once you realise that Lord Alli is at the forefront of demands for press reform in terms of both content and restrictions around ownership the current media witch-hunt makes sense.
 
I understand your point but as a multi-hundred millionaire businessman isn't he just going to press for the reforms that will give him an advantage should he wish to take it? You don't become very rich by being nice, but you can become very poor by being very nice.
