It’s actually impressive they’ve managed to stay so on brand.

Rejoin the EU, use the economic windfall and China help to rebuild the country and go down as a great leader. Like Carney.
But of course this will not happen.
Who btw is by no means a good leader but the closest thing the west has.
If that would’ve worked Lib Dems would be doing better. Nobody cares about them still.
Anyway I believe the government is busy debating trying to ban Under 16’s from social media or something like that.

That’s important too though? Isn’t it?
What do you think?
I don’t have children, so difficult to me to comment, but I was talking to a lot of people last week and the policy had a lot of support!
A large number of parents would facilitate their children getting around the ban, as is already the case with the existing age limit of 13.
It may also have a negative impact on the number of children under 16 who report instances of grooming and predatory behaviour online.
Those would be my concerns.
Yea it would be a pretty meaningless piece of legislation. Utterly unenforceable.
And what will happen when people get around it and end up exploited anyway. It’s going to be an angle used by a defence counsel somewhere along the line…
How badly do you think Starmer will overreact in attempting to stop Burnham?
UPDATE:
Here we go
The internal Labour drama always seems rather pathetic

How long until the knifing in the back begins you reckon?
Neoliberals love playing that identity politics card. I hate them so much

If Starmer is smart, you prevent him from running.
Why’s that then? Wouldn’t such a move look like Starmer being vindictive and self serving?
@RockyMaivia the stabbing has already started, Rayner and Powell backing Burnham heavily

Burnham is 10x the politician Starmer is.

Plenty of internal reasons I’m sure, but the main one is to avoid him launching a potential challenge for the leadership.

I’m not sure he is. He lost the leadership context to Corbyn by a huge margin and it doesn’t appear he has a majority of support within the Parliamentary Party. If he gets back in and launches a leadership bid, and even if he displaces Starmer, I don’t think he wins against other likely candidates.
Burnham might actually get Labour a second term if he was leader.
Or get them back to government.
If he is smart enough to bin some of these prick advisors.

Would he? What’s so amazing about him?
He would have some appeal in the north, but I can’t see him being popular in the south.
1 - He is.
2 - He’s still shit.
