Starmer’s pre-partygate performance suggests otherwise.

Politics in the UK is a zero sum game. Labour’s erstwhile success is a product of the conservative’s abject failure. Nothing more.

Polling suggests otherwise friend.

No… it suggests the exact opposite.

Because data for the counterfactual exists. Starmer’s labour’s popularity under a no tory meltdown condition, as was pre partygate, clearly demonstrates that partygate and everything that has happened since is the major causal factor to Labour’s current polling…

But observing evidence has never been your strong point.

Polling shows an improvement in Labour’s and Starmer’s ratings with gains being taken from Lib Dem’s as well which shows people coming round to Labour. It shows a collapse in the Tory support but also that Labour are winning support on there merit. Trust me I’ve looked at a lot of analysis of the polling data.

There’s no need for the personal comment at the end there.

We do, we can’t go on like this. The Tories have no mandate for this.

But she's a fighter not a quitter...so maybe she's going to sack the 1922 committee and put them on the terrorist list of anti-growth coalition.

Beth Rigby saying she's done. This is so juicy!

[Kurosagi]

Or announce that we're at war with the EU in order to defend Northern Ireland.

[Kurosagi]

Or we're now officially at war with Russia and we all need to build fallout bunkers in our gardens.

Someone said it was a done deal at the weekend. Rishi in too.

[Punksnotdead]

Oh boy, I'm getting pissed tonight! Haven't got the champagne this time though! 

[Crazyfool01]

Waiting for the long list of her achievements whilst in office … she’s busy writing that in her speech

Sky has said it was the last 24 hours that sealed it.
